Express happiness and sadness in English with ten idioms, divided between the two emotions. On cloud nine, over the moon and tickled pink describe different ways of being delighted; down in the dumps and with a heavy heart describe sadness.

The examples connect these expressions with events such as passing exams, receiving good news and leaving a job you care about. You’ll understand the emotional meaning behind the words and how these English idioms fit into descriptions of feelings and reactions.
