English Idiomatic Expressions

They are commonly used by native English speakers to convey a particular message or add color to their speech. These expressions often cannot be understood by their individual words and may differ from the literal meanings. As a result, learning idiomatic expressions is crucial for better understanding and fluency in the English language.
