(Advice about the importance of honesty)"Actions speak louder than words." (A general truth about behavior) 2. IdiomAn idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not literal but rather figurative.The meaning is often different from the individual words in the phrase.Example:"Break the ice." (To start a conversation in a social setting)"Spill the beans." (To reveal a secret)
