Language structure and conventions: Idioms and proverbs


Idioms are sayings that people have come to understand, but which cannot be worked out from the usual meanings of the words. An example of an idiom is His home is his castle. (This does not mean that he lives in a castle. It means that he feels safe and protected in his home and that he loves his home.) Read the idioms and proverbs (sayings) below. They are all about what people tell you about their homes.
