Idioms

Who asked, What's an idiom?

It's a commonly used expression that you shouldn't take literally; it's usually short, but the speaker may expect it to convey a great deal. A person can use this quick way to suggest circumstance, emotion, reaction, or indicate their attitude to another person or event.

People who are learning English as a Second Language probably find idiomatic expressions great fun. Go to Learn English Idioms on Youtube and see what sense you can make from them!

Invent one too. Then see if you can introduce it into your home ed group.
