WHAT ARE IDIOMS?

     An idiom is an expression with a figurative meaning that differs from the literal meaning.
    
      A group of words whose meaning considered as a unit is different from the meanings of each word considered separately.

     Idioms don't always make sense literally, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of each idiom. That may seem like a lot of work, but learning idioms is fun.
     
      We need idioms because they were coined to communicate a specific and usually quite precise meaning for which there is no exact word.

EXAMPLES:

Other examples:

1. A blessing in disguise - a good thing that seemed bad at first 
2. A dime a dozen - Something common 
3. Beat around the bush - Avoid saying what you mean, usually because it is uncomfortable 
4. Better late than never - Better to arrive late than not to come at all 
5. Bite the bullet - To get something over with because it is inevitable 
6. Break a leg - Good luck
7. A penny for your thoughts - Tell me what you're thinking by itself
