                     IDIOMS IN ENGLISH
       An idiom is an expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either in having
       a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements or in its
       grammatically atypical use of words.
       Idioms, proverbs, and phrases in English are common in everyday conversation. They
       appear frequently in written and spoken English. You'll need to learn the meaning and usage
       of each idiom because they don't always make sense literally. This may appear to be a lot of
       work, however learning idioms is enjoyable, especially when comparing English idioms to
       idioms in your own tongue. You will sound more like a native speaker when you use idioms
       and expressions in English.
       If you had never heard someone say "We're on the same page," would you have understood
       that they weren't talking about a book? And the first time someone said he'd "ride shotgun",
       did you wonder where the gun was? A modern English speaker is familiar with thousands of
       idioms and employs many of them on a daily basis. Idioms can be simple ( "the other day,"
       "make a point of," "What's up?") or more colorful ("asleep at the wheel", "bite the bullet").
