Idiomatic English is fun, interesting and colorful. Your English will sound more natural when you can use idioms successfully. You will be able to understand more of what you read and hear too. This book is designed to help you feel more confident using idioms and to give you more control over them by understanding their meaning, their grammar, how they look and sound, and when and where to use them.

In the Know is the last word on idioms as they are used today. It teaches intermediate-level students and above the idioms they need to know in order to understand everyday idiomatic English. Based on extensive research in the Cambridge International Corpus, the idioms are presented in 40 four-page units and are grouped by context, by concept, or by key words. Each four-page unit starts out with a presentation page, which is followed by three sections: Focus on Meaning, Focus on Form, and Focus on Use.
Features
• Over 800 idioms that have researched in the Cambridge International Corpus for their frequency, meaning, and use
• A large variety of presentation and exercise types that makes learning idioms fun and memorable
• An audio CD that contains recordings of the presentation section from each unit
• A dictionary section at the back of the book that gives definitions and examples of every idiom in the book
• A reference section from the Cambridge dictionary of American Idioms that gives students a resource for checking the idioms they've learned
• An answer key that makes the book suitable for self-study use
