What are Idioms & Phrases Idioms and Phrases are a poetic part of the English language.  A set expression of two or many words that mean something together, instead of the literal meanings of its words individually. Idioms   are  sentences that are used to convey a different meaning than their literal meaning. These are  used to convey more meaning in fewer words effectively. Phrase is a collection of words that stands together as a single unit in a sentence, typically as part of a clause or a sentence. It does not contain any subject and verb so it cannot convey any thought.
