උපග්‍රන්ථය:ඉංග්‍රීසි වාක්‍ය ඛණ්ඩ පොත

This appendix is for common phrases in English that are peculiar to English but are possibly non-idiomatic in terms of CFI, in that their meaning can be reliably assessed from the meaning of their constituent words. What makes a phrase common remains unspecified at this point, but numbers of Google hits are one indicator of commonality. See Category:English phrasebook for many more, and see Wiktionary:Phrasebook.
