What is the meaning of “this time around” why not just this time . The full sentence is
This time around, she wants to get it right!
This time around means that it happened before and it will happen again? The context is a publication for the real relationship life.
The real question is why they did not use only "this time" but they used "this time around". What will be the difference between both ?
Best Answer
"This time around", as you guess, means that it has happened before, and may happen again. "Around" evokes an image of a repeating cycle, which is most often thought of as circular.
The main difference between "this time" and "this time around" is the implied caution that the cycle will continue until something happens to break it.
= it has happened at least once before, but this time she will do it differently
= it has happened at least once before (but possibly more), and if she doesn't do it differently this time, she expects that it will keep happening the same way.
