Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
[FONT="]He figures he's got you scared and he's gonna take a sock(1) at you the first chance he gets." [/FONT][FONT="]Lennie's eyes were frightened. "I don't want no trouble," he said[/FONT] [FONT="]plaintively. "Don't let him sock(2) me, George."[/FONT]
(1) sock = a hard blow or punch
(2) sock (v) = to hit or strike forcefully; punch
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
