Concept Explanation

Idioms are fixed expressions whose meaning is not literal (e.g. “once in a blue moon” = rarely). Phrase questions may ask meaning or usage in a sentence.

  2. Check whether the idiom fits the context (formal vs casual).
  3. Learn high-frequency placement idioms in groups (time, money, effort).
