On the back burner

[Kati Svaby]

Hello Alan,
First I translated wrongly : "on the back burner" . Wheras this expression exists in Hungarian we say for example : put yourself on low flame.

Put sth on the back burner = means to held or suspend from doing sth temporaly.
We can say with the verb: be and put.
For example:
The building project is on the back burner for now.
This matter was on the back burner for a long time.
The president has put this issues on the back burner.
I can't allow myself to put my English learning on the back burner, in my age, can I ?

I am sorry, this was the first of your writings what I misunderstood. I can blame only myself for it.

Best regards:
Kati svaby
