EXPLANATION

"Sneak out" means slipping away quietly without anyone noticing. Like when you're at a boring party, and you're like, "I'm outta here!" but super low-key so no one sees you leave. It’s kinda secretive, like a ninja move! You’re not being loud or obvious—just sneaky, like tiptoeing past a sleeping dog.

PRACTICE

Have you ever had to sneak out of somewhere? What happened?
