owe someone a lot
feel very grateful
If you owe someone a lot, you feel very grateful because they have helped you greatly.
Hear it in real life
Who encouraged you to apply for the job?
My former manager, and I owe her a lot.
I owe my older sister a lot for helping me through university.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I owe a lot my sister for helping me.
Say: I owe my sister a lot for helping me.
Put the person after “owe” and before “a lot” in this expression.
