Question

I did not know the first word about them . Explain the idiomatic expression in the above sentence. According to the chapter last lesson of flamingo of class 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

the first word about them

Answer 2

In the story, the phrase I did not know the first word about them meant that Franz did not have any idea about the participles.

• The question has been asked from the story The Last Lesson
• Idiomatic expressions typically represent a proper kind of informal language with a meaning distinct from that of the words in the key phrase.
• Franz was particularly afraid of being scolded that day because their teacher M. Teacher Hamel had to take a test on participles.
• Franz honestly admits he was fully ignorant of the subject. His exact words were "I didn't know the first word about them."
