1. Idioms
They are idioms. Okay, well then what’s an idiom? It’s a group of words where the meaning
cannot be inferred simply by looking at the individual words.
For example, take a look at the following sentence:
“That job was a piece of a cake.”
In the sentence above, the idiom is in blue. In this sentence, a piece of cake means something
that’s easy to do. What happens, though, if someone has never heard of this expression
before? When looking at the sentence, they might think the person is talking about a real
cake; they would be unable to deduce the idiom’s figurative meaning just by looking at the
words.
