Idiomatic expressions are a vital part of everyday English. Often metaphorical, they express ideas that go beyond the literal meaning of words. Some come from history, others from daily life, but all reveal how language captures experience. Understanding these phrases adds richness and precision to communication, and offers insight into how a culture thinks, speaks, and connects. To grasp idioms is to go deeper into the workings of a language.
