Welcome to English... where a bull can be in a china shop, a kid can be in a candy store, and both are technically grammar lessons. 😄

MINI ENGLISH LESSON
• IDIOM:
An expression whose meaning is different from the literal words. ("Like a bull in a china shop" ... Implies a physically destructive behaviour/situation)
("A 'kid' in a candy store" ... Implies a happy situation)

• HOMONYM
A word that sounds or looks like another word but has a different meaning.
(China = a country -also- china = porcelain dishes.)
(Kid = small child, also a baby goat)

No wonder English keeps us humble. 😄
