INTRODUCTION
A. Background
So far, idioms are only known to exist in English. But actually, idioms exist in
all languages. Only the content or meaning of the idiom is different. In this paper we
1
will discuss a complete explanation of idioms. Of course, it is accompanied by
examples and usage in sentences to make it easier for us to understand the idiom.
Apart from Idom, we will also discuss Regarding phrasal verbs In English, we often
find phrasal verbs both in written and spoken language. A phrasal verb is a verb that is
formed from two (sometimes three) parts: verb, adverb, and preposition. Phrasalverbs
also dominate several expressions in English (idioms), because each expression is
usually a phrasal verb. Phrasal verbs are very commonly used in English. In almost
every context there are phrasal verbs, for example in informal English expressions.
Not infrequently we find English Learners who are still at beginner level,
experience difficulty in understanding and translating phrasal verbs. A common
mistake they often make is translating Phrasal Verbs verbally or literally. For this
reason, this paper was prepared to present a discussion regarding how to understand
and translate phrasal verbs with the aim of increasing insight and improving skills in
English.

DISCUSSION
Idioms are expressions that have implied meaning. This means that idioms
cannot be interpreted literally, or cannot be interpreted in a general way based on
the words that make them up. Even so, idioms can still be understood by a group.

In other words, idioms can also be classified as culture. When studying a
language, there will definitely be idioms from that language, including when
studying English, material about idioms will certainly appear.
Lay people who don't know idioms will usually be confused. Moreover,
idioms are often used in sentences, both written sentences and in everyday
conversations. Because idioms have the property of refining language.
The way to find out whether a word is an idiom or not is to relate the
sentence expressed to the topic of conversation. If in the sentence there is a word
that is not connected or strange, it can be said that it is an idiom. Especially if it
doesn't fit to be interpreted one word at a time. And of course, to understand
idioms you need to study and increase your idiom vocabulary.
However, not all idioms have predictable meanings. For example, some
proverbs whose origins can be known. In other words, the best way to find out the
meaning of an idiom is to read or ask directly to the person who said the idiom or
to other people who know it.
B. Idioms in English
Before it was briefly mentioned, idioms are part of a culture. This means
that the existing idioms can be said to be inherited from generation to generation.
Because of this inheritance from generation to generation, we cannot just create
new idioms, unless we adhere to existing patterns.

What he meant was not raining dogs and cats, but very heavy rain
accompanied by very strong winds. Which is likened to a cat and dog meeting.
3. Don't Judge the Book by it's Cover!
This idiom is very familiar and widely used everywhere. This means
not only judging books, but also other things. Where we are not allowed to
judge everything by its appearance alone.
4. That's a Piece of Cake!
If interpreted, this idiom has a reasonable meaning, namely a piece of
cake. However, if the sentence does not connect with the words piece of cake,
you can be sure it is an idiom. This idiom means a job or activity that is very
easy or very simple to do.
5. At the Drop of a Hat
The meaning is not dropping a hat, but it means without hesitation.
Idioms have various types, based on their structure, some are long and
some are short. Examples include the expression: forty wins, cold war, a dark
horse, to cut one's coat according to one's cloth.
For example, the idiom "I am good friends with him". If you pay
attention, structurally and grammatically the sentence is not correct, because it
should be "I am a good friend with him". Using the phrase "friend" without the
"s". Even though native speakers don't realize it is a mistake, it is still correct
and has a clear meaning.

Idioms that have a regular form and are structurally and grammatically
correct may also not have a clear meaning. For example in the idiom "to have
a bee in one's bonnet". For someone who is not a native speaker, this idiom
sounds correct but the meaning will be very confusing. What does having bees
in a bonnet have to do with it? But the real meaning is talking about something
continuously because someone thinks it is important.

Example sentences that mean to hold tight:

Examples of sentences that mean wait/wait:
The underlined words are interpreted separately looking means see And for
means For However, because the two words are in a sentence as one unit, which

means that a clear meaning will not be obtained if interpreted word by word, the
two words are combined to get a meaning that is appropriate to the context of the
sentence, namely look for
