- Welcome to English in a Minute!
High and dry are both common adjectives. But what does the idiom “high and dry” mean? Let’s find out.
D: If you know of anyone who needs a room in a great apartment, let me know.
A: I thought you had a roommate. What happened?
D: He left me high and dry. I came home the other night, and he was just gone.
A: Speaking of leaving you high and dry, I can’t help with your party tonight. Sorry.
D: What is with people!?
High and dry means to leave someone in a tough situation or to make life difficult for them. Usually this happens because you neglect to do something you were supposed to do.
And that’s English in a Minute.

Can you explain the grammar of the sentence: usually this happens because you neglect to do something you were supposed to do? Why don’t we use “was” instead of “were” in that sentence. Thanks for your help!
Because "were" agrees with the subject "you."
