An idiom is an expression that is hard to understand because its meaning has little or nothing to do with the individual words that make it up. For example, the expression "It's a piece of cake!" means that something is easy to do! Knowing the word "cake" won't help you figure out what it means.
Here is a fun quiz that will help you revise and practice some key idioms in English!
