[quote=CROBERTO ,13014]Hi, STLGIRL and RitaThere's nothing inherently wrong with the expression "raining cats and dogs", but is always best for a foreign learner of a language to use the most neutral expression that means the same things. Teachers love teaching them and students like using them, even though they are less common than neutral counterparts. Unfortunately, the more foreign-sounding a student's accent is, the more likely that student will sound "funny" using them.Then, for example:"raining cats and dogs" - use "pouring rain", meaning "raining a lot, intensely""it cost an arm and a leg"- use "it cost a fortune", meaning "it was very expensive""a piece of cake"- use "no problem", meaning "something very easy".[/quote]
