Idioms
As I mentioned earlier, an idiom is a group of words that have a figurative meaning.
Figurative means something that is metaphorical or nonliteral. The phrase used if taken
literally, will not make much sense in the context it was used.
Without the knowledge of English idioms, you are pretty much where you were when
you first started learning. Nowhere! In today’s time and age, English is driven by
idioms, and I do not mean in a car!
Idioms exist in every language! You just have to use your imagination to figure them out.
There are said to be about twenty five thousand idioms in the English language. I shall
introduce you to some of them.
Hit the sack
If you open a dictionary and look for the meaning of ‘sack’, you would find about ten
different meaning. Here, ‘sack’ means bed. You are not literally hitting the bed, the
phrase means ‘to go to sleep’. It generally refers to being extremely tired.
“I am going to go home and hit the sack” means “I am going to go home and sleep”…
probably for the next ten hours!
