Idioms:
English Language is rich in its idiomatic expressions or in other words, it is rich in its idioms as a an important resource of knowledge in English . An idiom is a
common word or phrase with a culturally understood meaning that differs
from what its composite words' denotations would suggest. If English isn't your native language, the best thing that you can do is
have conversations with native speakers and ask them about phrases that
you don't understand. Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning
different from the meaning of the words in the expression. Since idioms are influenced by the culture,
learning the idioms of a language can be very interesting and
enlightening! These idioms are various and several. At the same time , they are little difficult studies. The learner must make great efforts to master them.

Phrasal Verbs:
It’s like cooking: combine flour and water, stick it in the oven for a bit, and you have bread. If you combine a verb and certain prepositions, and stick it somewhere in a sentence, you have a phrasal verb. However, baking the dough in a gas oven will obviously result in a different flavor than baking the dough over an open fire; phrasal verbs don’t require such varied treatment to have a different meaning, even if you’re working with the same two words. Sometimes all that’s required is they phrasal verb being used in a different room of the house. This is where the idiomatic meaning comes in.

Slang
Slang is a type of language consisting of words and phrases that are considered to be very informal more common in speech than in writing typically restricted to a particular context or group of people. The problem for learners of English is to know when or when not to use slang. Many people condemn slang, but in fact we all use it. The trick is to use slang in the right context. For the learner, perhaps the first thing to remember is that slang is normally spoken, not written. The second thing is that you may wish to learn slang so that you can understand it when you hear it, but not necessarily to use it.
