Here's an idiom for you to try out this week in your daily speaking practice!
This phrase is often used in the workplace too and can be a bit cliché - but it is a useful phrase after all.
It means to start making progress on a task or project - you could also say 'get the wheels in motion' which means the same.
Let’s have a look at some examples:
We'll need that report by Monday, so we can get the ball rolling by the end of the week.
The new project has faced some initial delays, but we're getting the ball rolling this afternoon if all goes to plan.
