Ms. Pankey AJHS 2014

 Idioms are words, phrases, or expressions whose meaning cannot be taken literally, but are used figuratively.  WAIT – What is the difference between literal and figurative meaning?  LITERAL – The words mean EXACTLY what they say  FIGURATIVE – The words don’t mean exactly what they say, but something different or exaggerated.

 One common English idiom is: “It’s raining cats and dogs!”  If this expression was taken literally, then that would mean that actual cats and dogs are raining down from the sky.  However, we know this is not true. When people say that “it’s raining cats and dogs!” they mean it in a figurative way.  It’s figurative meaning is that it is raining very hard!

 Idioms are expressions or phrases that don’t literally mean what they say, but instead have a figurative meaning that people learn from speaking the language.  This is why learning a new language can be so difficult sometimes! Every language has its own idioms that don’t mean what they actually say – but the language learner doesn’t know what they actually mean!  A good way to tell if a phrase is an idiom is to imagine what it would literally mean. Does that make any sense? No? It’s probably an idiom!
