Welcome to English in a Minute.

We have to use our brains to think.

So what does the expression no-brainer mean?

Hey, did you watch the new episode of Catch a Criminal?

Yeah, but it was such a no-brainer.

The police found a gun and all the money in David's house.

Well, what if David has a twin brother who lives with him?

The police would know if David had a twin brother.

Well, what if they don't know?

Then they are really bad at their jobs.

A no-brainer is something that requires little thought or is obvious.

It also means it is easy to make the right choice.

And that's English in a Minute.
