Okay so I didn't get to post
about yesterday's class and revision
on what we've learn
because I just had to hit the hay
lawl
Yesterday we learned
about Idioms
Although I've been taught about it
oh so many times but I guess
there's no harm in recalling them back.
Idioms
are commonly used expression
that has a special meaning.
Earlier on I used the idiom
"Hit the hay"
which of course doesn't really mean
a person is literally hitting the hay.
It means 'going to bed'
or a person is trying to say that
he or she is going to bed.
There are others of course.
I'll just include whatever
I wrote during class
Even though it was unnecessary
for me to do but nyeeh
