How to understand English sentences?

0 Hi02br
00I’ve been trying to learn English by listening and reading. But there are some sentences that I don’t understand. For example, “There’s not a girl in town who wouldn’t love to be in your shoes” and “The goes the baker with his tray like always”( two sentences of the cartoon film “Beauty and the Beast”). I know every word of these sentences but I don’t understand them at all. I opened my English grammar books and searched for their structures, but I haven’t found it yet.02br
00Could you give me some advice? 0-

0 Those expressions are known as idioms and exist in most languages. An idiom is an expression whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal definitions and the arrangement of its parts, but refers instead to a figurative meaning that is known only through conventional use.0-
