Get ahead of the game
Are you ahead of the game? Are you studying English more than all your friends, so you’ll know more than them?! Or are you getting up super early to be the first in the queue to buy Taylor Swift concert tickets? If that’s the case then well done, you are ahead of the game. Get ahead of the game and your English will be streets ahead.
Examples
“To keep ahead of the game at work you need to make sure you’re up to date with all the latest technology.”
“His knowledge of English is streets ahead of the rest of the class ever since he went on holiday to the UK.”
