Idioms are fixed expressions whose meaning is not immediately obvious from looking at the individual words in the idiom, such as to hit the roof (to react in a very angry way).
There are many idioms in English, but some sound rather old-fashioned or are not very widely used. The English Idioms in Use books focus just on those idioms which the modern student needs to know. providing information and practice to help you understand and use them correctly.
These books, available in two levels, offer explanations and practice of English idioms, written for intermediate (B1-B2) and advanced (C1-C2) learners of English. They are perfect for both self-study and classroom activities.
This second edition includes two new units and an updated design and content.
