Idioms

What is an Idiom?
An idiom is a common phrase that has a different meaning than the words suggest. You can’t understand it word-for-word — you must know the full expression.
Why Are Idioms Tricky?
The meaning is figurative, not literal. You have to learn them as set phrases.
Examples:
I’m on cloud nine. (very happy)
Don’t spill the beans. (don’t tell the secret)
She hit the books last night. (she studied hard)
