Exercise 1
Where is Maria?
Where is Maria?
Jennifer tells Philip that Maria has "stepped out", which means that she has left, but just for a little while. The expression "to step out" indicates leaving (the house, office etcetera) for a short time, and it indicates that someone will return shortly. We're not sure exactly where Maria has gone, just that she is away from the apartment.
Although the expression "to step out" is linked to the verb "to step", which is essential to walking, this idiom doesn't indicate that someone is walking, rather that they have left somewhere and will return shortly.
The expression "to step out" does not refer to "stairs" (which are made up of steps). The expression is linked to the verb "to step", and means to leave a location for a little while.
