Fixed Expressions


Fixed expressions are phrases or idiomatic expressions that have a fixed form and meaning, and are used as a single unit. Examples include "by and large," "kick the bucket," and "at the end of the day." These expressions often cannot be understood by interpreting their individual words literally, making them challenging for language learners. Mastering fixed expressions is important for achieving fluency and sounding natural in the target language. Teachers can introduce fixed expressions through contextualized practice, highlighting their meanings, usage, and cultural significance.
