Practical Everyday English is not just a book, but a method which helps upper intermediate and advanced students to understand and then use everyday vocabulary. Most of the material in the book is good conversational English rather than academic. However; I should like to point out that "good conversational English" does not mean street slang. There is included within the book a small amount of slang which now passes as "acceptable" English but even members of the British Royal Family would use most of the phrases and idioms contained in these pages.
To stand by.
I. (To be a loyal friend, companion to a person who may be very ill or in serious trouble)
Examples:
• I would never have got over my illness,
had* my wife not stood by me throughout.
• Don’t worry, if you own up to the crime, I’ll still stand by you.
II. (Not to change one’s mind about/to stick to* an earlier promise/decision)
Examples:
• I might have known he wouldn’t stand by his word.
• We will stand by what we decided yesterday, unless someone can come up with a better proposal.
III. (Not to take any action to stop something bad happening)
Examples:
• Are you just going to stand by and* let him get away with it?
• Most of the crowd who turned out for the protest march stood by and*
watched as the police turned on some of their members.
