Hi Regine83

What was the context? Can you give us the sentence you found that in?

hi regine

A knock through is a term used in games like Aussie rules football or Rugby.

In Aussie rules it is when you knock the ball through a gap of players and chase.
A knock through in Rugby is when the ball legally rebounds off you and goes through the back line of the opposition, and you chase.

This is one context. Pls give yours and we can help more.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for answering so quickly.
The sentence was: Actually, we may be going to knock through.

Hi Amy,
That's it, knock through a wall. It's in a book I'm reading and one of the characters is a painter and he's talking with his wife about the wallpaper, carpet, color of the painting for the kitchen and so on.....
Thanks very much indeed.

Hi regine

This phrasal verb is right for the context.

It can be used "knock through ........" OR knock a wall through".

cheers stew.t.

Maybe it's a BE/AmE difference, but I wouldn't expect to hear anyone say "knock a wall through". However, I can imagine someone saying something like this:
"We knocked a hole through the wall in order to add a window."

Hi Amy

Yes "knock a wall through" is a possibility, that is why I choose to mention it. ; )
