When you're studying English, I recommend focusing on learning
phrases and not just individual words. When you only study
individual words, it's hard to put them together into a phrase -
but when you study phrases, then it's much easier for you to use
the whole phrase when speaking.
The problem is that sometimes you might hear or see a phrase that
doesn't seem to make sense. This often happens with idioms and
informal expressions.
My students ask me about phrases all the time, and today I’ll
explain two expressions – "good grief" and "for
goodness' sake."
If you’re interested in learning more phrases that native
English speakers use in daily life - and especially learning these
phrases inside the context of conversations - come check out

Courses.
