Welcome to the Idioms section of our Online English Article Library. Idioms are phrases commonly used in American English speaking and writing. Idioms are used in formal settings and casual settings. An Idiom is two or more words that when said as a full phrase means one thing however each word of the phrase when spoken alone mean very different things.
