TOP 10 IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS YOU CAN LEARN FROM

The reason why I have decided to share these is not because I want to show that I can speak or write English Language fluently but the reason is because I want us to learn from them.

Besides, who doesn't want to learn new things every day？Of course, everybody does but you know, if you already know them, you can boost your courage by going through them on a lighter note！

Naturally, an idiom is a statement whose meaning cannot be gotten by the mere addition of the meaning of the individual words that make it up. I have given some examples below:

1. To let the cat out of the bad.

It simply means to let out a secret.

2. To hand out an olive branch

That is, to seek peace or surrender

3. To keep at bay

That is, to stay at a considerable safe distance

4. To have a forlon hope

That is to have a hope that amounts to nothing

5. To hit someone below the belt

That is, to take an undue advantage of someone.

6. To rain cat and dog.

Example in a statement；

Having rained cat and dog, the meeting could not proceed because it was scheduled to hold in an open place！

Meaning of idiom used: It goes to show that it rained heavily.

7. To devise a means

To find out how to do something.

I don't know if this is an idiomatic expression but I am adding it here because it is short and memorable.

8. To kill two birds with one stone.

Meaning: To achieve more with less hassle.

9. To hold the bull by it's horn

To be courageous and confront matters head-on.

10. To say a thing without mincing words.

To say things the way they are. That is, without twisting facts.

In one way or the other, one day, you shall find yourself looking back to say that you have tried.

In the world in which we live, you can either be a star or you are scared！Fear is the only thing that can stop you from achieving what you want to achieve. If it is in you, you are finished.

We accompanied her to her father's house that evening, all we cared about was for her two kids to be alright.

At times, I tell jokes to keep them company but that wasn't the real me. Funny enough, some of them appreciated it but I am the imiano. As a matter of fact, I realized that the world was taking a wrong turn. So, I had to intervene by saying things the way they are.

In Nigeria today, our politics is more of quantity than quality, more of numbers than wisdom and more of assumptions than facts yet in all, one thing stands out！They always conduct primaries to know who bears the party's flag but in real estate, it is not so.
