Isi artikel

Apart from the basic definition 'accept as true' etc., the phrase 'to take for granted' is often extended to mean 'to fail to give sb's due', i.e. 'habitually to relegate sb. to an inferior or subsidiary position', hence 'to ignore him/her'. Unfortunately, the latter usage and meaning has been noticed so far by few dictionary compilers, and EFL learners find it particularly difficult to understand, and to use it themselves. This article tries to help them, where possible, to clarify their position with regard to the extended meaning and usage of the phrase.
