We cannot give you all of the idiomatic expressions in English, but here are some that consistently appear on GMAT tests. The ones marked with the asterix (*) often appear on the GMAT - please take note of them, and memorize them. They are very important. The correct idiomatic expression is given on the LEFT, while a sentence demonstrating how the expression is used can be found on the RIGHT.
