Imagine you're walking on a path, and suddenly there are two roads in front of you. That’s what people mean when they say a fork in the road, it means you have to choose which way to go next. This idea is used in stories and real life because making choices feels just like that: one moment you’re walking along, then two paths open up!
Examples
- A fork in the road happens when you see two paths in front of you.
- If you're choosing which friend to hang out with, that’s like standing at a fork in the road.
