3 English Idioms
One of the hardest things to learn in English is idiomatic language. This is language that does not exactly mean what it says. I have written below three common English idioms that you can use at home.
Under the weather. If you are feeling under the weather, you are sick, or you don't feel well.
I wanted to go to a baseball game yesterday, but I didn't end up going because I was feeling a bit under the weather.
Hang in there. Don't give up. If you are telling someone to hang in there you are telling them not to give up.
I know this book is very challenging, but I am sure you can understand it if you keep working at it. Hang in there!
Take it easy. Relax. You can either tell someone to take it easy, or you can suggest that they take it easy. (Take it easy, vs. you should take it easy.)
You have been working too hard this week, I think you need to take it easy this weekend.
