10 Autumn Idioms
Here are 10 autumn idioms that are perfect for this third season of the year. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons because of all of the beautiful changes in the leaves and the wonderful foods we get to eat this time of year. Autumn occurs from September or March in the United States.
Did you know that most North Americans say "fall" rather than "autumn?"
Don't worry, you can say either autumn or fall. Some people find it easier to remember (and spell) "fall" because they just think of the leaves falling from the trees.
It can take awhile to learn idioms so don't worry about memorizing them. The first step is to simply understand them when they're used by others. You can create a notebook and write some of your own sentences to help you remember them.
And of course, I welcome you to write some sentences in the comments below to practice. The the best way to improve your English is to actually use it!
