Common everyday idioms
An idiom is a phrase or expression that generally has a non-literal meaning, which cannot be directly understood by reading each word. For example, if you are very happy because you passed the speaking test, you might say: "I was over the moon when I saw my results". This phrase's idiomatic meaning is about happiness, not something related to looking at the moon in the sky. As a language learner, you have to learn how to use them correctly, so they don't sound unnatural. I will pick out a few that are used commonly in everyday conversations.
