(write it bit more with 'keywords' embedded )



-> Heading: How to use the English idiom 'Thrown in the deep'


In this example the subject "I" is saying my new job is very difficult and I'm not getting a lot of support from the company. It references the idea 'sink or swim" I will "sink" i.e not be able to cope; or "swim" i.e work hard and learn how to master the job by myself.




It is often used in the passive with the verb 'be". So someone else is doing the action of 'throwing'-normally the employer/company!
