Idioms!!


An idiom is a phrase that doesn't have a "literal" meaning. Write an idiom, and explain it's meaning. Read what has been written, and try to choose an idiom that others haven't added yet! :)Start looking for idioms in the books you are reading! Try using them more often in your own writing! :)
