## Definition

to walk into a place in a very confident, relaxed, and happy way.

For teachers: to enter a location with a conspicuous air of casual confidence or nonchalance, often suggesting a lack of concern for the gravity of a situation.

## Examples

- She breezes into the office every morning with a big smile.
- He breezed into the meeting twenty minutes late as if nothing was wrong.
- The celebrity breezed into the gala, seemingly oblivious to the frantic photographers and security guards scrambling to clear a path.

## Pitfalls

- Not "He breezed into to the room." but "He breezed into the room." — the particle 'into' already functions as the preposition, so adding 'to' is redundant.

## Usage notes

- usually implies the person is relaxed while others around them might be busy or stressed.
- Teaching tip: the verb 'breeze' connects to the light, easy movement of wind; use this to help students visualize the effortless and carefree motion of the person entering.
