Remember
An idiom is a phrase in ENGLISH that does not LITERALLY mean what the words imply-think "It's raining cats and dogs." Hopefully you know that it doesn't really rain cats and dogs (although, that would be crazy-and cute!) what we really mean is that it is raining really hard! Please feel free to email any questions you may have!
