BEAM Eng8 Module 15: Getting Meaning of Idioms
English Arts I. 2000. pp 148, 149
Concept:
English idiom or idiomatic expressions are Greek in origin. The word idiom means ―a
private citizen, something belonging to a private citizen, personal, and, by extension, something
individual and peculiar.
Idiomatic Expressions, then, conform to no laws or principles describing their formation.
They may also violate grammar or logic or both and still be acceptable because the phrase is
familiar, deep-rooted, widely used, and easily understandable- for the native born.
Task 1: Directions: Choose the appropriate idiomatic expressions to be used in the

following sentences. Write a piece of cake, odds and ends, pros and cons or ups and down in the
blanks provided.
1. The teacher asked us to talk about the ___________ of industrial development.
2. Do not worry about the problems you have in your business .You know there are always
___________ in business.
3. The police found nothing special in the house of the criminal as he had taken all the important
documents with him leaving just _____________.
4. If you think that doing this math problem is __________, just try it.
Task 2: Directions: Interpret the meaning of the underlined idiomatic expression using the
context clues.

Concept:
Why are idioms important for English language learners?
They are so pervasive throughout the English language that to ignore them is to miss out on a large
percentage of the phrasal interpretations and nuances.
Idioms cause your mind to shift from the reality of your situation to the abstract thought of the
analogy or concept they reference. They keep your mind stimulated and focused. They provide an
outlet for expressive communication and a way for different people to say the same thing but with
different circumstantial allusions.
