Idioms....
Okay, so I was all like 'epic fail' on this topic in school. Both ways sounded right to me so I have some difficulty spotting when an idiom is miss used. I am not talking about cliches (which many call 'idioms'), which are overused phrases. I am talking about the correct use of something like
'passing through'
'passing away'
etc.
Does anyone have common examples of misused idioms and the better way of using these idioms in a sentence or a rule of thumb to remember? I am taking a practice SAT tomorrow and I really want to bump up this score.
