Course Content

Idiom
E.g. City Council members frequently meet until the early morning hours in order to work in their problems. The preposition work “in” a location is idiomatically incorrect. The phrase “work in” should be replaced as “work out” their problems. E.g. The local band’s new album was frowned at by many parents because of its suggestive lyrics. Usually is physically “frown at” a person or thing, but when you disapprove of something in general, you “frown upon” it. ** In Identifying Sentence Errors questions, if you see a proposition underlined, check for idiomatic errors.
