I have problem in searching definitions for English phrases. For example "get on your knees", I understand this phrase but I can't search for the exact definition over the internet. Is there any good online resource in this issure?

"Get on your knees" means "to kneel" Quick definitions (kneel)
noun: supporting yourself on your knees
verb: rest one's weight on one's knees (Example: "In church you have to kneel during parts of the service")
