Example: “I made a horrible mistake, and suddenly I was in a real predicament.” Synonyms: • Sticky situation — casual, but okay in semi-formal settings. • In a pickle — very informal, playful, almost humorous. Use “predicament” when you want to sound serious. Use “sticky situation” when you’re being light but still clear. Use “in a pickle” when you’re joking about it. #englishlearning #vocabulary #learnenglish #speakenglish
