Idioms and Common Sayings.

What is an idiom? What are some fun idoms we can use in everyday English? Some good examples of idiomatic expressions.

An idiom is a combination of words that has a figurative meaning that is separated from the literal meaning of the words or are different from the meaning they have. It's a good idea to use idioms when you are talking to a person in English. When you use them you give more figures to the speech, in other words, you express ideas in a more natural way.

Be careful when you tell someone that you kicked the bucket because you mean that you have died! Another fun idiom is to say that someone is pulling your leg which means that he or she is teasing you. When it's early in the morning and you want to say something nice to a colleague or to a friend you can tell him that the early bird always gets the warm meaning that this person that starts an early day will get the best of it.

Other examples are:

Curiosity Killed The Cat: Being Inquisitive can lead you into a dangerous situation.
