"Meaning books"

[mikrodj]

Hi everyone,
As many of you, I'm not native English speaker so I usually don't know the difference in meaning of some idioms, for instance when to use so X as to Y and when to use X enough to Y or the difference between be afraid of and be afraid to.

I was wondering if someone knows books that could help me with this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Great question! I hope other people will give suggestions, too.

Our SC Strategy Guide lists the idioms that have been tested on this exam, along with meaning and common wrong forms of the idioms. I'm sure there are other good sources out there (which is why I hope other students provide suggestions, too!), but the one thing I'd like to caution you about is to make sure you study from a source that specifically lists idioms that have been tested on the GMAT. There are thousands and thousands of idioms in the language, and you can't possibly memorize all of them - so you want to make sure you're using your study time wisely by studying the ones that have actually been tested on this exam.
