Question

3 main differences between idioms and phrases?

Answer 1

$\large{\underline{\underline{\bold{Idiom\: Vs\: \: Phrase}}}}$

✏ An Idiom does not means what its words says while A Pharse exactly means what its words says.

✏ An Idiom has a fixed meaning while A Pharse do not often have fixed meaning.

✏ An Idiom might not make a sense to us if we are not familiar with it but A Pharse will always make a sense either we are familiar with it or not.

Answer 2

Answer:

This question asks nearly the same thing. This is the difference between an idiom and a phrase: A phrase is “a small group of words standing together as a conceptual unit”, while an idiom is “a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words”.
