Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.
put the cart before the horse: do things in the wrong order
Example:
Tom and Becky have been dating for only a month, and she’s already picked out her wedding dress? Isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?
rain cats and dogs: rain very hard
Example:
You might as well wait before you go on your walk – it’s raining cats and dogs right now.
