In the English Language, English idioms and phrases are commonly used in everyday spoken language. They are a type of figurative language or art-form made from words. They are not to be used literally, as they carry their own descriptive meanings. In this book, I have tried to use as many English idioms as possible in 3 short stories, to show you how idioms are used in daily life.
In this book of 150 English idioms you will read 3 different stories on eating, travel and behaviour which show you how to use English Idioms correctly in 3 different contexts. There are two versions of each story, one containing the 150 idioms and phrases and other stories written with only the meaning, but without the idioms, so that you can see the meanings more clearly. You can also see that the stories containing the English idioms and phrases sound more interesting and descriptive than the stories without the idioms.
To speak like and sound like a native you need to use Idioms and phrases in your speech. Unlike the normal dictionary style idiom books with idioms and meanings, the idioms and phrases here, are used as they would be in normal conversation.
You can now, not only understand how to use English idioms / slang, matching them to the correct verb tense form but also develop an ear to what they mean when other people use them when you hear them speak.
This clever book of Idiom stories is a must have, for those who would like to speak and sound like a native quickly and easily. It will also help those taking English Speaking Tests such as IELTS exams, TOEFL exams.
Each story contains a dictionary style glossary, of all the idioms in the stories with their meanings to help you learn the idioms more easily.
Don't forget the other English Idioms and phrases books in this series, which will be available shortly along with the audiobooks.
