However, with regard to idioms in particular, you need to know that knowledge of idioms is included in the vocabulary part of the Michigan G-V-R test. Of course, idioms are also covered in our workbook download!
The word "idiom" means figure of speech. That is to say, the words in an idiom do not have their usual meaning because idioms are metaphorical expressions.
Look at this example conversation in American English:
Speaker 1: I have just won $100,000!
Speaker 2: You're pulling my leg!
Okay . . . the first speaker hasn't touched the other speaker's legs!
In other words, speaker 2 has just used an idiom that means "I don't believe it. You must be joking!"
