how can i study idioms?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>i do failry well on the writing sections in the blue book, usually msising 1 or two questions per test</p>

<p>but usually, the mistakes i make are on questions involving idiomatic expressions, like knowing that you should say "prefer x over y" instead of "prefer x more than y"</p>

<p>is there any website/book that has a compilation of these little grammar rules?</p>

<p>by the way, i am pretty much set in terms of parallellism, ver/adverb/noun/pronoun etc... agreement and most of the other things, but it wouldn't hurt to mention some good resources for learning those either</p>

<p>Barron's has a list</p>

3

<p>but is there any website that has such a list of idioms?</p>

4

<p>I'm sure you can look it up on google.</p>

5

<p>memorize memorize memorize
(Barron's has a list)</p>

<p>but idioms don't show up as much as pronouns, verbs, or others on the test and if you're a native speaker, chances are that you'll be able to recognize some funky wordings.</p>

6

<p>I think reading a lot would help... it's the sort of thing you develop an eye for. Also, this isn't related to studying, but if you say the phrase to yourself, you might hear the wrong idiom more easily than see it.</p>

7

<p>which Barron's book are you all referring to (for the idioms)?</p>

8

<p>I know that Barron's 2400 has such a list; the regular Barron's book probably does, too.</p>

9

<p>is there such a list online?</p>

10

<p>XD. I have no idea where you might find one.</p>

11

<p>does anyone have any idea?</p>
