@carolinakowanz: "Dim the lights" means to make the lights in a room less bright. It's like making them softer or darker. When we talk about candles, we say "light up" or "light a candle" because you use a match or a lighter to start the flame on the candle, which creates light. We don't say "turn on" because candles don't have a switch like electric lights. Similarly, we say "blow out a candle" because you use your breath to extinguish or put out the flame on a candle. We don't say "turn off" because, again, candles don't have a switch to turn them off. #englisch #english #ingles
