Welcome to English in a Minute from home.
In life, some things can be helped while others cannot.
What happened to your indoor plant?
I don't know, Jonathan.
I watered it.
I put it next to this window, but I don't think it's doing too good.
Anna, that plant is dead.
It's a lost cause.
Just accept it and move on.
A lost cause is something that is certain to fail.
