English idioms, proverbs, and expressions are an
important part of everyday English. They come up all the time in both written
and spoken English. Because idioms don't always make sense literally, you'll
need to familiarize yourself with the meaning and usage of each idiom. That may
seem like a lot of work, but learning idioms is fun, especially when you
compare English idioms to the idioms in your own language.
Learning to use common idioms and expressions will
make your English sound more native, so it's a good idea to master some of
these expressions. The tables below are organized by how common the idioms are
in American English. You can start by learning the very common English idioms,
since these are the ones you'll encounter regularly watching American movies or
TV, or visiting the United States. When you've mastered those, move on to rest.
None of the idioms on this page are unusual or old fashioned, so you can be
confident using any of them with native English speakers from all
English-speaking countries.
