They are often used in everyday language and can be found in literature, poetry, and other forms of writing. IDIOMS are usually made up of two or more words and can be used to express emotions, ideas, or feelings. Examples of turns of phrase include 'raining cats and dogs, ' 'piece of cake, ' and 'break a leg.'
