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. Currently, we’re looking at some common English idioms.
to get it (often negative): to understand, comprehend
Example:
Mary didn’t get the joke, so we had to explain it to her.
to get the ball rolling: to start a process
Example:
To get the ball rolling, the teacher assigned lab partners and gave us our first project.
