“They finally saw eye to eye on the business deal.”
2. ‘Once in a blue moon’ – an event that happens infrequently.
“I only go to the cinema once in a blue moon.”
3. ‘When pigs fly’ – something that will never happen.
“When pigs fly she’ll tidy up her room.”
4. ‘To cost an arm and a leg’– something is very expensive.
“Fuel these days costs and arm and a leg.”
5. ‘A piece of cake’– something is very easy.
“The English test was a piece of cake.”
6. ‘Let the cat out of the bag’ – to accidentally reveal a secret.
“I let the cat out of the bag about their wedding plans.”
7. ‘To feel under the weather’ – to not feel well.

8. ‘To kill two birds with one stone’ – to solve two problems at once.
“By taking my dad on holiday, I killed two birds with one stone. I got to go away but also spend time with him.”
