Idioms are common phrases that people use in everyday language, but their meaning is different from the literal words.

 

For example, “break the ice” doesn’t mean breaking actual ice, it means starting a conversation in a friendly way.

 

Idioms make writing and speech sound more natural, expressive and human when used in the right context.

 

Refining sentences with idioms can improve how your message lands, but overuse or poor placement can confuse readers. ProofLex helps you apply idiomatic expressions thoughtfully, ensuring your writing stays professional.

 

NOTE : Refining sentences using Idioms is a Premium feature, available only to ProofLex Pro users.
