English Idioms Can Be Tricky

We often use English idioms in a way that needs more imagination to get the meaning than you might expect. Today we cover 2 idioms that could not be more different in their meaning, however they both can be dangerous to us if used improperly. Idioms are fun really, it’s handy to know what the most common ones mean as it would surprise you just how often you will hear them in everyday English conversations.

You many not have come across the words figuratively and literally before so I’ve provided links to the meaning of these words. Literally means translating the words one by one and not pulling them together to create a greater meaning. Figuratively means you are being asked to take the English words and phrases and comprehend their meaning and then use them to imagine a more involved meaning.
