Which are the most used idioms in everyday life??? Where do the natives use idioms most: writing or speaking? Why?

Speaking. In writing, we tend to be more descriptive, pedestrian, and literal.

can i ask questions? how can i distinguish if the statement is an idiom?

 

[Tdol]

If a phrase combines to have a meaning different from the dictionary definition of the words, it has an idiomatic meaning. We can say that something is in the bag and mean that it is a certainty- we are not literally talking here about something in a bag.
