Dear Friends, I found this sentence in a worksheet: "I enjoy chips, pizza, candy and hot sausages, but my mom’s rule of eating a salad with every meal sticks." Could you help me to understand the last word (and the second part of the sentence)? Thank you for your help. H. |

To stick is literally "to adhere". A little figuratively, it means to remain (sometimes when we don �t want it to). ...but my mom �s rule of eating a salad with every meal has stayed with me over the years. Bruce |
