10 English Idioms you MUST know!

[@burghbrat3319]

English is my native language, and I can't even imagine how difficult it must be to learn for someone who was not born to it. It''s so inconsistent! You do a great job of explaining to a non-native speaker the things I know and understand but could not explain to someone who was not brought up speaking English. Thank you.

[@mattseba-dl2ep]

You're doing a good Job of explaining what an idiom is , and how to use it . Thank you very much.

[@ramabaiapparao8801]

Oh come on , there are many people who doesn't write proper spelling .it is not inconsistent but ignorance.

[@helamarzougi]

I m non native,and I think English is one of the easiest Languages. although, my native language is Arabic and i m currently trying to learn french.

I didn't watch the video (I'm having an issue with the sound) but #4 is not an idiom. "On the fence" meaning undecided, is, however.

My English language exam for GCSEs had a part where you had to give a speech on a topic and my whole speech was teaching basic knowledge on idioms. I was so proud of it. I got a decent grade on it and I've still got the speech nearly 5 years later. (Idk if you have this anywhere else in the world but in the UK it's part of the English (language, not literature) examination). The thing is though, you don't hear many of these in everyday conversations. I've heard a few being used like "driving me up the wall" or "pot calling kettle black" or "out of the blue" but some of these aren't used very often at least in Britain (or maybe the people I talk to just don't use them). Also you said that British people say "beat about the bush" instead of "beat around the bush" and I've never heard that. I've always heard people say "beat around the bush" here in England. (When you said 'nitty-gritty' it sounded like 'neety-greety'. Maybe I was just hearing things...)

[@zemfiramustafazade9348]

Just my two cents: 1. "Barking up the wrong tree" can also mean someone is complaining about something that is irrelevant to the person he/she's bringing the issue to. It can also be a little bit similar to the "preaching to the choir". 2. "Sitting on the fence" also means someone refusing to take sides on an extremely divisive issue (usually political or religious), in order to taunt that person to make up his/her made right now.
