Non-native speakers of the English language can fall into language traps such as idioms, which are fixed combinations of words whose meaning is often difficult to guess from the meaning of each individual word.

So, translating word by word isn’t a good idea, mostly because the translation of an expression is rarely literal. You should look into the context of that expression to understand its meaning.

What about you? Have you ever used or heard any idiom in a conversation? To test your knowledge, we challenge you to find out these expressions.

Good luck!
