- Idiom
- An idiom is a phrase in which the meaning of each word separately does not tell the reader what the idiom means. In other words, the words in the phrase mean something more than each word in it.
To figure out the meaning of an idiom, look for clues in the passage.
Example: Alana bothered her brother so much that he told her to take a hike.
Meaning: Alana bothered her brother so much that he told her to leave.
