I’ve been trying to memorize them from a list, and it’s overwhelming. Do you have any tips on how to learn them effectively? Also, are phrasal verbs considered idioms?

I remember reviewing a document where a non-native speaker used an idiom that was inappropriate in a professional context. It’s important to know not just the meaning of an idiom but also the context in which it’s appropriate.

    For instance:

    • Correct: "Sarah is good at negotiating."
    • Incorrect: "Sarah can 'haggle them down.'"

    The latter might be seen as unprofessional or even offensive, depending on the audience.

For example, saying "crime is up" doesn't mean crime is physically rising; it's a figure of speech. Idioms can be tricky because they often don't translate directly and can differ between cultures.
