Conclusion:
Learning this list of common English phrases is one of the most effective ways to help you efficiently learn the language so you can understand what you are hearing. This is an important component of attaining a conversational level of comprehension. A key factor behind the importance of learning common English phrases is the fact that many of them do not make sense from a literal standpoint. To understand the context, you must know the phrase and its meaning as it is used by native speakers.
Beyond this, learning these phrases can help you to boost your English reading skills because you will not get stuck trying to understand the meaning of each word and will instead view them as a whole. This is again helpful in cases where a common phrase only makes sense if you understand its contextual/cultural meaning.
