The meaning of these expressions
is different from the literal
meaning or definition of the words
of which they are made.
A modern English speaker knows
thousands of idioms and uses many
every day. Idioms can be completely
ordinary "first off", "the other
day", "make a point of", "What's
up?" or more colorful "asleep at
the wheel", "bite the bullet",
"knuckle sandwich".
WHY IDIOMS ARE USED?
Idioms are used in order to add
variety and color to speech or
writing.
Idioms are often derived from
popular culture, such as movies,
books, or songs.
Idioms can also be based on
historical events.
Finally, idioms can be based
on common human experiences,
such as birth, death, or love.
HOW TO USE IDIOMS
CORRECTLY?
1. Make sure you understand the
meaning of the idiom before
