To jump on the bandwagon phrase
To take part in something, such as an activity or a movement, that has recently been liked or enjoyed by a large number of people.
So many friends of mine have gone to gym recently that I might as well jump on the band wagon and hit the gym as well.
All my workmates are learning new languages, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon. I'll learn Japanese.
Everyone was trying to support charities for homeless people, so I jumped on the bandwagon.
The verb "jump" must be conjugated according to its tense.
The word bandwagon was coined in the USA in the mid 19th century, simply as the name for the wagon that carried a circus band. The transition from the literal 'jumping on a bandwagon', in order to show one's alliance to a politician, to the figurative use we know now was complete by the 1890s.
Do you see anything wrong?
