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?
He was talking quite freely till we mentioned his brother, then he shut up like an oyster.
shut up like an oyster = become silent, dry up, hold one’s peace
Thanks for your efforts.
Regard,
V
