Communication
jump in
join quickly
To join a conversation or activity quickly, often without waiting for a long introduction.
Hear it in real life
We were talking about local schools.
I heard you, so I jumped in with my experience.
I jumped in when they started discussing a problem I knew well.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I jumped to the conversation when they mentioned schools.
Say: I jumped into the conversation when they mentioned schools.
Use "jump in" or "jump into," not "jump to," when you mean joining a conversation.
