Native English speakers love to slip them into conversations, and you'll come across them often in books, TV series, and movies. To perfect your English, you need to use idioms with confidence and know the difference between "breaking a leg" and "pulling someone's leg."





1. Under the weather

What does it mean? To feel sick or unwell.



How is it used? We, English love, talk about the weather and do it very often, but don't let this common phrase fool you. If someone tells you they are feeling under the weather, your response should be, "I hope you get better," not "Do you want me to leave you my umbrella."



2. The ball is in your court

What does this mean? It's up to you



How do you use it? Now it's your turn to make a move, but this idiom refers more to life than to a sport. If you've got the ball, the decision is yours, and someone is waiting for you to make up your mind.



3. Break a leg

It means to wish someone luck.



How is it used? This idiom is not at all threatening. Often accompanied by a thumbs-up gesture, "Break a leg!" is a way of cheering someone up by wishing them luck. The expression has to do with the bows that theater actors take at the end of the play. If the performance is a success, they will have to bow so much that they might break a leg.



5. Pull someone's leg

It means to make a bad joke.



How is it used? All fans should learn this phrase of practical jokes. "Pull their leg" is similar to "wind someone up." In context: "Relax, I'm just pulling your leg!" or "Wait, are you pulling my leg?".



6. Through thick and thin

It means to be loyal in all circumstances.



How is it used? Often used to refer to family or a partner, "through thick and thin" means that you will support the other person no matter what, in good times and bad.



7. Once in a blue moon

It means rarely



How is it used? This charming phrase is used to describe something that doesn't happen often. Example: "I remember to call my parents from my study abroad trip once in a blue moon." More examples of using idioms at the text you can find here: https://www.wowessays.com/



8. It's the best thing since sliced bread

It means it's very, very good.



How is it used? Sliced bread must have been a revolution in England because since then, it has been used as the definitive reference for all things fabulous. We love it as much as we love tea.



9. Take it with a pinch of salt

It means don't take it too seriously.



How to use: "I heard that elephants can fly now, but Sam often makes up stories, so I take everything he says with a pinch of salt".



10. Go down in flames

It means to fail miserably.



How is it used? This phrase is quite obvious: "That exam went down in flames. I should have learned my English idioms."



11. You can say that again

It means that's true.



How is it used? It is usually exclaimed to say that you agree with something. When a friend says, "Ryan Reynolds is gorgeous!", you can reply, "You can say that again!".



12. Jump on the bandwagon

It means to follow a fashion.



How is it used? When someone starts doing something because it is fashionable or does it just because it looks good. An example related to brunch: "She doesn't even like avocado on toast. She's just jumping on the bandwagon".



13. Hit the sack

It means to go to bed.



How to use it? This idiom is straightforward to learn. I'm exhausted, and it's time for me to hit the sack!".



14. Miss the boat

It means it's too late.



How do you use it? Use it when you miss an opportunity or a deadline. "I forgot to apply for that study abroad program; now I've missed the boat".



15. By the skin of your teeth

What does it mean? Hardly



How do you use it: "Phew, I passed that exam by the skin of my teeth! I hope you pass your exams, but if you only give them by the skin of your teeth, you can use this expression.

15 English idioms everyone should know

Tips about how to write a Scholarship Essay

Hi teachers,



I recently published a free lesson plan on Fluentize based on a news report video about the history of the conflict Russia and Ukraine.



I would say this lesson plan is probably most suitable for advanced (B1) students.



In order to view the video, please visit the lesson page on Fluentize via the link below.



https://app.fluentize.com/lesson/ukraine-russia-conflict-explained



This post contains the first half of the lesson materials. You can download the full lesson lesson directly from Fluentize when you're registered and logged in.



As you'll see in the lesson plan, students discuss topics and questions related to war in general and what they know about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Students also learn a few really important verbs and phrasal verbs from the video, including take over, ring out, rush, resolve, and dominate.



In the second Post-Viewing Activity on Fluentize, there is a short grammar activity on the difference between present perfect and past perfect.



"30 years ago, Ukraine became its own country. Before then, it had been dominated by Russia.”



You can follow everything up with additional discussion based on the following topics...



- Why topics such as war and politics can be difficult to talk about with other people sometimes 



- The extent to which other countries are involved in the war between Ukraine and Russia



- What could the world or other countries could do to help the country of Ukraine and its people



- What students have you seen, read, or heard about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine



- Information about Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky



***IMPORTANT NOTE***



I would just like to note here that due to the sensitivity of the situation, I would use your best judgment on whether to use this topic and proceed with discussions about it in class. You know your students best, and you could probably even ask students whether they wish to discuss it or not. A teacher may have students who wish to discuss it, and other students maybe not. It could very well be too sensitive or distressing for some students. Of course, I also understand the importance for students to be able to have discussions and express their ideas and opinions about such an important global topic. All in all, a lot of it may depend on the background of the students and how closely they are tied to the situation. If teachers decide to proceed with this topic, I would advise them to steer things as objectively as possible and focus on the history and background of the conflict itself.





Thanks,

Students also learn a few really important vocabulary words from the video, including escalation, annexation, sovereignty, ousting, and a buffer.



In the second Post-Viewing Activity on Fluentize, there is a short grammar activity on the usage of irregular past simple with a passive voice construction based on a quote from the video:



"Yanukovych fled the country after being impeached by parliament.”



You can follow everything up with additional discussion based on the following topics...



- Some of the potential global, economic, and political consequences of the military invasion by Russia into Ukraine



- The extent to which other countries are involved in the war between Ukraine and Russia



- How is the world reacting to the war between Russia and Ukraine
