But before that, let me explain what an idiom is!

An idiom is a group of words or a sentence that has a particular meaning that is different from the meanings of each word on its own!

English idioms, are an important part of everyday English. And because idioms don’t literally make sense, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with their meaning and usage.

The first idiom is:

This expression refers to the fact that it’s impossible to have 2 good things at the same time!

Example:

The 2nd one is:

Big cheese:

We use this idiom when we want to say that someone is important, influential, and successful!
