Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words. Currently, we’re looking at some common English idioms.
to bug: to bother, pester, annoy
Example:
In the summer our neighbor plays his radio so loud we can hear it on our patio. It really bugs Mother.
to cram: to study intensely, especially the night before an exam
Example:
Jack boasts that he gets the best test scores whenever he crams, but he forgets everything he studied within a couple of weeks.
