eg: “I’m so sore from going to the gym yesterday.”

persistent – something that lasts a long time, or not stopping

eg: “She is really persistent, I think she really wants this job.” “He was very persistent, even though they broke up, he kept calling her.”

eg: “I have a sore throat.”

turn a blind eye – to refuse to believe what is happening, or pretend you didn’t see it

eg: “My boss turned a blind eye to my lateness, probably because I’m his son.”

eg: “I just went to dinner with some coworkers but my wife gave me the third degree.”
