What is an idiom? Examples and uses Can you spot the idiom? Try it on your own! Don’t take it literally!

Idioms are phrases or expressions that have hidden meanings. The expressions don't mean exactly what the words say.

I heard it through the grapevine. You need a taste of your own medicine! Ms. Garner will tie the knot in December! Would you put a sock in it!!

While I was shopping at the grocery store with my mom, I found the most wonderful chocolate bar anyone had ever seen! I heard through the grapevine that this store sold the best chocolate ever known to exist. I decided to take my allowance for the week and spend it on this magnificent piece of chocolate. Surely, it wouldn’t cost too much it was only chocolate! I began to race to the checkout counter when my mom said to me, “Hold your horses! You know that chocolate is going to cost you an arm and a leg, right?” I looked at her and said, “Will three dollars be enough? How can I eat chocolate if I only have one arm??”

Hold your horses! Losing your mind A piece of cake Cold shoulder Apple of my eye Someone you love or cherish Something very easy or simple To wait or be patient Going crazy! To ignore or not speak to someone

Cat got your tongue Hold your horses! Feeling under the weather Crying over spilt milk! Raining cats and dogs
