Solving idioms on the ACT is different from solving the usual grammar questions on ACT. To describe Idioms in its simplest form, it is a phrase or expression that do not conform to simple rules, therefore; you have to rely on your intuitive grasp of English while dealing with some of the phrases.
Here are a few idioms from recent ACTs:
• hush-hush: secret
• under wraps: secret
• streak past: go past quickly
• came about: happened
• in the midst: during
• sheds light on : reveals, explains
• ill at ease: uncomfortable (mentally, not physically)
• dwell on: focus on for longer than necessary
• against the clock: under time pressure
It’s difficult to study idioms, and there are thousands of them in English. The test’s idioms that are very widely used, so an easy way to improve your idiom knowledge is to read, read, and read. And if you read a phrase that doesn’t make sense, ask an adult, idiom can be difficult to look up reliably on the internet.
