In a Nutshell
In the example I gave, I said the following:
“… and I go into depth in that video on this, so I recommend that you watch that as well. But, in a nutshell, as a summary, it’s really important to know that you don’t need to learn every new word or phrase that you see.”
This means that you want to describe something / tell a story in brief. You want to give a summary. Here are three more examples:
- “I won’t tell you the whole story, but in a nutshell…”
- “Can you tell me in a nutshell?”
- “In a nutshell, the problem is that we had to move out of that office.”
