Grammar: Idioms

Idioms are common phrases used in conversation that have a different meaning from that which appears at first sight.   These phrases or sayings don’t always make sense literally but we can still understand what they mean!

Example: I hit the nail on the head means I got something exactly right.  

‘To let the cat out of the bag’: This idiom is not about letting a cat escape from a bag! It’s actually about revealing a secret that should have remained a secret.

  

Can you figure out what the following idioms really mean?  

1. The children were all ears.

2. That story rings a bell.

3. We are all in the same boat.

4. He turned over a new leaf.

5. I have bitten off more than I can chew.

6. They decided to bury the hatchet.

7. She could smell a rat.
