    Here are 15 idioms and examples on how to use them in sentences.

    Study them and try to guess the meaning.

    1.      An arm and a leg


    That camera cost me an arm and a leg! I hope this will benefit me in the future as a photographer or YouTuber because I really love taking
    pictures and videos.

    2.      Crack someone up 


    I love cracking someone up with my videos.

    3.      Get up on the wrong side of the bed 


    So many terrible things happened to me today. First, I forgot my wallet, then while walking to the bus stop someone carelessly drove over the
    puddle and got my shoes wet, now I am scolded at the office. I guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed today.

    4.      Tie the knot 


    My aunt is finally tying the knot this Monday and my family cannot wait to attend it in London!

    5.      Head over heels 


    I am head over heels when I realised there are lots of people reading and commenting my blog!

    6.    Hit the sack 


    I just had a long day at the training center today. I think I will hit the sack early today. Good night.

    7.    Hold your horses 


    I know that this situation is not very convenient for you, but hold your horses and don’t do something you will regret. Patience is virtue.

    8.    A leopard cannot change his spots 


    No matter how hard I try, I cannot please everyone I meet. A leopard cannot change his spots. If you are not happy with who I am, then grab
    your bags and leave. I tried.

    9.    A drop in the bucket 


    Try not to overwork and spend more time with your family. You are just a drop in the bucket in this company. The moment you are sick or
    die, they will just replace you with someone else. However, your family will always be there for you.

    10.    A blessing in disguise Be strong my dear friend, believe that there is a blessing in disguise. This depressing event will make you a better
    and stronger person in the future. Hang in there!

    11.    Don’t count your chickens before they hatch


    Before taking a risky action, don’t count you chickens before they hatch. We must wait to have the final results and discuss with everyone
    about this situation.

    12.    Go out on a limb 


    I went out on a limb to talk you out of that situation. Now you must straighten up and find yourself a job and house.

    13.    He lost his head 


    After the accident and the death of his wife, Sam just lost his head and he is no longer the same person we used to know.

    14.   Stretch our legs


    Upon reaching Mount Kinabalu’s base point, we stretched our legs and prepare mentally for the journey.

    15.   Rain check 
    Due to my parents’ current financial situation, I need to take a rain check  for the annual dinner.
