Use these idioms in a short story. ~ to fill (someone) in ~ to make (someone) tick Last week, I missed the talk. So I asked a friend who attended it to fill me in on what the speaker said. My friend told me that the speaker talked about what made him tick and how he grew up.

You expressed your thoughts very well and wrote a lovely, cohesive short story that perfectly connects the meanings of both idioms! Nice work! Hoewver, please note \"what makes someone tick\" refers to their timeless, ongoing inner motivations, we keep that specific idiom part in the present tense, even when talking about a past conversation.
