Many Thanks, DALA3ABUDHABI

I like learning idioms a lot because as 3beer said thay make the language easier, more interesting, and more challenging.

To me personally, I memorise the idioms not to use them in the academic writing, for they are not allowed to be much in there, but because when I hear someone talks to me by using them, they will help me a lot to understand well.

Thank you again.

Waleed.

Good Dala3

Thank you for these idioms
face the music is a good one, but pay attention such idioms are syntactically rigid they cannot be passivized nor can they undergo any morphological changes. That is to say -it is impoosible to say the music was faced by him or her or whatever . We cannot substitute -the - for a
any ways,thanks alot
