What exactly is an idiom?
Idioms are words, phrases, or expressions that cannot be taken literally. In other words, when
used in everyday language, they have a meaning other than the basic one you would find in the
dictionary. Every language has its own idioms. Learning them makes understanding and using
a language a lot easier and more fun!

¿Qué es exactamente un modismo?

Los modismos son palabras, frases o expresiones que no se pueden tomar literalmente. En otras
palabras, cuando se utilizan en el lenguaje cotidiano, tienen un significado que no es el básico
que puedes encontrar en el diccionario. Cada idioma tiene sus propios modismos.
Aprenderlos hace que la comprensión y el uso de un lenguaje sea mucho más fácil y divertido!
Learning grammar and improving your writing skills isn't enough to master the English
language. You must understand common English idioms if you want to pass the CAE or CPE
examinations.
Frequently, the answer to one of your reading test question will lie behind an idiom that you are
not familiar with. The same applies to the listening test, you might understand most of what is
being said only to get lost after hearing the obligatory idiom.
This book contains 300 of the most common idioms that usually turn up in CAE and CPE
examinations.
