Welcome to English in a Minute. A cliff is a very high and steep rock. So is a cliffhanger
someone who likes to hang from cliffs?
So Anna, have you watched the last episode of the embassy yet?
I finally did. The mystery, the shock, that explosion. It was a real cliffhanger.
I know, I have so many questions. There better be a second season soon. Yeah, like tomorrow.
A cliffhanger is part of a book, movie, or show that leaves readers or viewers in suspense.
These days cliffhangers are especially common on TV shows.
They are what keep people watching episode after episode after episode.
