Hello. Thank you for your question, and yes, I can most definitely help.
1. The phrase, "on cloud nine" means that you are extremely happy or excited. Here is an example: "I got that job that I applied for, and I am on cloud nine!"
2. The phrase, "break the ice" means to do or say something that makes people, who do not know each other very well, feel more comfortable. Here is an example:
"We were all sitting, awkwardly looking at each other, so I tried to break the ice by introducing myself."
3. The phrase, "hit the nail on the head" means doing or saying something that is exactly right. Here is an example:
"The psychologist put into words exactly how I was feeling. She hit the nail on the head."
I hope that these examples help you!
