Question

Read the idioms and try to guess their meaning. Are friends always on the same page?

Answer

  • be as thick as thieves - This idiom suggests a very close and strong relationship between two or more people. If individuals are "as thick as thieves," it means they are extremely close friends who trust each other implicitly and often share secrets or engage in activities together.
  • be on the same page - This idiom indicates that people are in agreement or have the same understanding about a particular issue or situation. When individuals are "on the same page," it means they are aligned in their thoughts, opinions, or goals, and there is clarity and unity in their communication or actions.
  • support someone through thick and thin - This idiom expresses unwavering loyalty and commitment to someone regardless of the circumstances. If you support someone "through thick and thin," it means you are there for them during both the good times (thick) and the bad times (thin), showing steadfast support and loyalty regardless of the challenges they may face.
