Idioms are expressions that mean something different from the literal meaning of the individual words. They are commonly used in everyday speech and writing.
Idioms do not always make sense if you take the words literally. Learn their figurative meaning.
Idioms make language more colorful and interesting. Understanding idioms also helps you read and listen more effectively because they are often used in stories, conversations, and media.
Idioms are part of culture. When you learn them, you understand not only the words but also how people express themselves in daily life.
Sometimes you can use context clues, or the words around the idiom, to understand what it means. You can also think about the situation where the idiom is used.
Pay attention to the situation. The same words can mean something different if they are part of an idiom.
