### In the lessons

In everyday life an objection tells the reader that someone disagrees or does not want something to happen; in stories it often comes before an argument or a change of plan. In school it appears when pupils give reasons for and against an idea in debates and persuasive writing. Common phrases: «raise an objection», «have no objection», «over someone's objections» (it happened even though they disagreed), «any objections?».
