To learn a/your lesson

Meaning:

  • To understand something or learn something useful about life because of an unpleasant experience.

Example sentence:

Did you like our summer job? - Oh, no! I didn't. It was boring and hard work. But I learned a lesson; now I know that it's not easy to earn money and I am grateful to my parents they support me while I study.


Questions for you to answer:
  1. Do you think people should go through unpleasant experience and failures? Why/not?
  2. When did you last learn a/your lesson?
  3. Do you remember a situation when you taught somebody a lesson?
