First we begin with the heart…
The expression to break someone’s heart is often used when we upset someone greatly, often when we terminate a friendship or relationship: “She broke his heart when she left him.” It can also be used when someone dies and we can also use the adjective broken-hearted to describe how the sad person feels: “I was broken-hearted when my grandmother died.”
If we learn something off by heart then we learn something completely: “An actor has to learn all the lines he has to say in the television show off by heart.”
We talk about hand on heart when we make a sincere promise: “Hand on heart, it’s the honest truth. I really do love you.”
To have the heart means to be strong enough to tell somebody some difficult news (or not!): “I didn’t have the heart to tell you yesterday but I saw your girlfriend kissing another man in the pub last night.”
If a person has a heart of gold they are a very kind person: “My sister always helps me when I have a lot of things to do – she has a heart of gold.”
