About this ebook
English is full of expressions that convey slang meanings, sarcastic meanings, informal meanings, and many other meanings that are not immediately apparent by defining the single words in an expression. This book was written for the advanced ESL learner who wants to explore the next level of English proficiency: understanding how English native speakers communicate daily needs, feelings and desires using expressions.
