365 American English Idioms

Includingâ€¦
- The DEFINITION of each idiom.
- The STRUCTURE and USE showing the grammar pattern of the idiom.
- An EXAMPLE sentence to see how the idiom is used in context.

An idiom is a word or set of words that have a different meaning than the usual & literal meaning of those words. For example, letâ€™s look at the idiom, â€œa piece of cake.â€ The literal meaning of â€œa piece of cakeâ€ is â€œone section or part of a whole cake.â€ However, as an idiom, we use â€œa piece of cakeâ€ to mean, â€œsomething that is very easy to do.â€ For example, Jack has been building and repairing computers for a long time. For him, repairing a computer is a piece of cake.
Idioms are commonly used in everyday, conversational English. It is more natural to say, â€œThat job was a piece of cake,â€ than â€œThat job was rather easy for me.â€ I encourage you to study the lessons in this book, and begin using these idioms in your conversations. You will sound more natural when you do so.
