CHANGE

Good morning.

Today we're going to look at a few money expressions that use the word change. Change can be a verb or a noun.

Change as a noun means: coins (monedas), NOT notes (billetes).

Change as a verb means: cambiar.

Example 1:
I have too much
change in my purse and it's getting heavy. Perhaps I can get it changed into notes in a shop.

Following are some expressions with the noun change.

Expression 1: small change

It means: coins of low value, for example pennies or five-cent coins (US currency); pence or five-pence coins (UK currency).

Example 2:
I don't have enough money for the bus ticket. Do you have any small change on you (in your pocket)?

Expression 2: to keep the change

It means: when you pay someone too much money, you can use this expression to tell the person that they don't have to return the difference.

Example 3:
After I had paid for my drinks, I told the bartender to keep the change.
