Understanding English Idioms

[moon light]

hello guys today i bring this important topic which we faced some problems in it

let me begin

Sometimes the hardest part of learning a new is understanding the idiomatic phrases that it is say daily
idioms are quirky expressions that make the English a little more confusing (and a little more fun!) for everyone. To understand an idiom, you have to know its figurative meaning rather than the literal one. For example, when I tell my students to “hit the books”, I don’t mean that I want them to go around punching books – I mean that I want them to study hard! If English is not your native, you can expect to add idioms to the list of things that you just have to memorize about the English – there are no rules that apply to all idioms!

However, to help you memorize them, it helps to know where the expressions originated. Some idiom origins are obvious. For example, if I put something “on the back burner”, it means that it doesn’t require all of my attention right now, much like a pot that is put to the back of the stove. Easy, right? But some idiom origins might surprise you. (Or make you laugh!) And if there is an interesting story behind an idiom, you are more likely to visualize it and remember it.
