Why Idioms are Important

Native speakers use idioms on a daily basis. In many cases, an idiom is the only way to express an idea in a short and clear way.

Take, for example, the idiom ‘burn your bridges’

If you are leaving your job and someone tells you to do it in a nice way and 'don't burn your bridges'. They actually mean something like:

"Don’t leave in a way that annoys people and makes them so mad with you that you can never have another opportunity again with the company or a relationship with the people you worked for there."

So we can say that ENTIRE sentence, OR we can say just 4 words.

'Don’t burn your bridges.' 🔥
