Hi Allen, just wondering why you use "the store" instead of "screen" for tv?


Hi,

You appear to be missing the point. in store is a fixed expression and means "forthcoming, about to happen".
Who knows what's in store for us (who knows what will happen to us in the future)
So, it has absolutely nothing to do with the TV screen Laughing

Hi Cida,

As Alex explained, 'what's in store' is a fixed expression -- an idiom. Do you know what the word 'idiom' means?
Thanks,
Torsten

hi everybody, i'am attending this forum at first time. If somebody still interesting why use "in store" it this sentence
-Let me tell you what's in store for you on television tonight- i can explain.

"In store" - synonyms are "forthcoming" and "imminent" - and their meaning is "coming" and "liable to happen soon"
