Examples of a 'wet blanket' include someone who constantly points out the potential problems or downsides of a plan, a person who is overly cautious and discourages others from taking risks, or someone who is consistently negative and critical, dampening the enthusiasm of the group.
To avoid being a 'wet blanket', it's important to be more positive and encouraging, focus on the potential benefits rather than the drawbacks, and try to find constructive ways to address concerns without completely dampening the mood or excitement of the situation.
Context matters in English because the meaning of words can vary based on the surrounding words, phrases, or situation. Words often have multiple meanings, and the intended sense becomes clear through the context in which they are used.
