English idioms proverbs and expressions are an important part of
everyday English. They come up all the time in both written and
spoken English. Because idioms don't always make sense literally
you'll need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of
each idiom. That may seem like a lot of work but learning idioms is
fun especially when you compare English idioms to the idioms in
your own language.
Learning to use common idioms and expressions will make your English sound more native so it's a good idea to master some of these expressions. You can start by learning the very common English idioms since these are the ones you'll encounter regularly watching American movies or TV or visiting the United States. When you've mastered those move on to rest. None of the idioms on this page are unusual or old fashioned so you can be confident using any of them with native English speakers from all English-speaking countries.
