IdiomsAn idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has afigurative meaning that is different than its literalmeaning. An idiom’s meaning is different from the usualmeanings of the words within it, and it should not betaken literally. For example, when someone tells you to“break a leg,” he or she does not actually want you tobreak your leg; it is an idiomatic way to wish you luck.

All 40 idioms in this set are related to hard work andperseverance, which ties directly to students’ jobresponsibilities and schoolwork in general.
