Here is a special blogging assignment for everyone:
Look at the list of idioms below, choose ONE, and try to illustrate it with a situation you have been in or have witnessed. Give an account of the situation, say which idiom it is supposed to exemplify and how it relates to it. I hope the assignment will help you remember the idioms and use them properly. Get set, go! :)

For me the best way (or ways) to learn any language is always the same: listening to the songs, watching movies and series in the particular language. To memorize one of the idioms from the list above I can recommend everyone watching one of the episodes from the classic American tv series "The Twilight Zone."

That's a good one, thanks!
DeleteIdioms can have a literal meaning in one situation and a different idiomatic meaning in another situation. It is a phrase which does not always follow the normal rules of meaning and grammar.
