of idioms and phrases. Most of them have fantastic origin stories. The

idioms or phrases are used. They are situational, we can’t you them everywhere.
Link or visualize them with your situations so

group them or categorize them based on different
themes and contexts. Grouping will also help you to use these idioms and
phrases in day to day life.

task, but whenever you come across with any new idioms or phrases, jut note it
down its meaning and context. You can use your smartphones to make a list of
idioms/phrases. It’ll definitely help you during

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the questions here.Also, the way you have designed it for us.
I was looking for such kind of website for so long, but couldn't get so.
One of the best thing is to get the scores at the same time, which is a kind of self reflection for me.
Looking for some more updates.
