I dioms and sayings:



1-'A chain is no stronger than its weakest link'

2- 'A little learning is a dangerous thing'
A small amount of knowledge can cause people to think they are more expert than they really are.


3-’about as useful as a chocolate teapot'
Someone or something that is of no practical use is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.


4- 'All ears'
If someone says they are all ears, they are very interested in hearing about something.

5- 'All hell broke loose'
When all hell breaks loose, there is chaos, confusion and trouble.



6-'Arm and a leg'
If something costs an arm and a leg, it is very expensive.

Keep an eye on: check something regularly.
