Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that it's not an idiom. An idiom is something like 'kick the bucket' which cannot be understood by its literal meaning, only by the way its commonly used.

<p>You're thinking of a different type of idiom. Idiom can also mean any convention used in a language that is not used in other languages. For example, Latin often expresses purpose by saying something like, "I'm getting the leash for the dog having to be walked." We'd never talk like that; we'd just say, "I'm getting the leash to walk the dog." Most of the idioms on the SAT deal with the use of prepositions.</p>
<p>Really? That I was not having been known. Sounds like my gut must have to be updating its writing repository, especially if wrong I actually am about the also/aswell thing.</p>
