Useful Idioms

This is an advanced level worksheet about useful idioms. Students will read through some idioms in context and guess at their meanings together. Next, students will read through the origins of some common idioms and write an explanation of what they think they mean based on their origin. 

Finally, students will listen to a conversation about a job hunt that uses a lot of idioms (many of which have already been mentioned in the worksheet) and answer comprehension questions about the conversation.

This worksheet will work well with any high level class looking to increase their vocabulary and understand idiomatic language.

The transcript for the audio can be found at the end of the Teacher’s Version (TV) of the worksheet.
