Another Game With English Expressions/ Idioms/ Phrases - Let's enjoy learning together, shall we?
Hello everybody!
Learning English word by word is not enough for us to become fluent.
Have you ever confused when you hear someone said: "I'm still finding my feet" or "it cost an arm and a leg".
Learning English phrases is very important.
Let's have a think. How many sentences you can make from 1000 English words? And are you sure all of them would be correct? And how
about with 100 English phrases? How many correct sentences you can make? I think you must got the point.
Taking Inspiration from learning together with game. I'd like to post this topic for us to practice in relaxing and help each other to fulfill the missing of what we are learning everyday. And beside, we will have a chance to memorize them by recalling over... and over again...
So, why not?
Let's share to be shared and enrich our English right now, shall we?
It's time to take a look at the rules:
Write ONLY ONE your English phrase/idiom/expression, don't write more than one at the same time, how would happen if you were
"choked" in learning them? ;-) just pick one per day, and remember it.
Explain it (and accompany the hyperlink if you want) BUT don't write any example for it, then give an example for the English phrase/idiom/expression was posted by the previous friend.
You can practice by giving some more examples for the phrases/idioms/expressions were given here before. NO LIMIT :)
********
What you should do in your turn would be like :
Suppose that :
The previous idiom : find my feet
My sentence: I've just got a new job for a few days. So I'm still finding my feet.
Your idiom: Cost an arm and a leg
Meaning of idiom: it's very expensive

Dear Scarlett,
Is it possible for you to add a list, of all the idioms already discussed, in your discussion above so that we don't repeat them? Or is it ok to come up with any idiom on random, even if it had already been discussed here?
-

Nidaaaaaaaa,
Welcome dear, just come with an idiom we won't mind it if it had been already discussed :)
@ Dear Scarlett, Marik and I will response during your absence :P

Dear nida, if you give an idiom that already was given we just will have one more opportunity to review that idiom, won't we? :) So, I think it's OK, we're waiting for your sentence and idiom :)
