Idioms• What is an idiom?• A group of words that has a meaning
different than the meaning of the individual words.
• For example, “break a leg” is a common idiom.
• Literal meaning: Break a bone in your leg. ( You should probably go to the doctor afterwards to get it fixed.)
• Idiomatic meaning: Do your best. Often, actors tell each other to “break a leg” before they go out on stage to perform.
