IDIOM- 3

It has been a while since I last wrote about idioms because I was busy writing about IELTS. Now, to assure you it's not only IELTS I will be writing about in this blog ^^, here are some more common English idioms:

* in good faith-sincere
ex. It's hard to know if a politician's actions are done in good faith or if they are only ways for him to give an early campaign.

*jittery-uneasy
Eugene became jittery when the guy she liked looked towards her direction.

*make a big splash-great success
Jayden made a big splash in the animation world with his new cartoon.

*on hand-available
We don't have a sewing machine on the set right now but we do have a needle and some thread on hand.

*on the dot-punctually
He always arrives on the dot in meetings so as not to anger his clients.

*sissy-a person who is afraid of or cannot take rough adventures
He's too much of a bookworm; no wonder he's a sissy.

*swell-excellent, great
