For people(like me) who study English as a second language, Cliches and idioms can sometimes be questionable when it comes to learning. Idioms are obviously useful, but what are Cliches? Should people like me still need to understand those or should I simply ignore them?
For example, "Let bygones be bygones." "Add insult to injury." They are marked as Cliches in an online dictionary. So do native speakers acutually still use them? Do those still have the values for language learning?
Thanks!!!
