Guess the Idiom – Part 01

Posted by Thiago Moshe | 1 Jan, 2016 | Idioms, Vocabulary

Hey dear activators!

Let’s talk about Idioms! Nope, it isn’t a synonym to language! 😉

Idiom is an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of the words that make up the expressions. Examples as: kick the bucket (= to die) or a piece of cake (= a very easy task).

So, here are some idioms for you to guess! The image with the answer key + example sentence is down on the post!

Have fun and take your English to the next level!

idiom 1

idiom 2

idiom 3

Make sure you leave a comment with sentences using the idioms!
