Expressions - Hit the books

Brian L

Here’s a natural English phrase: "hit the books"
It means to start studying seriously.

I have a big test tomorrow, so I need to hit the books tonight.

This is a casual, common expression that native speakers use instead of just saying “study.”

Try this: “I have to hit the books because __________.”
