What Are Idioms?

Idioms are phrases or sentences, that have a particular meaning, that you would not be able to understand, from the individual words.

Essentially there are phrases that have a particular meaning.

You would not be able to deduce the meaning just by looking at the phrases.

For example, if you say that a pair of shoes suits someone, then you are actually saying that it looks good on someone. You are not talking about the size.
