Frozen Phrases

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students learn about idioms, which are phrases that have a different meaning as a whole than the individual words suggest. The worksheet lists several idioms, such as “cut corners” and “hit the sack,” and provides sentences with missing words. Students are instructed to read each sentence and use one of the idioms provided to fill in the blanks appropriately. The goal is to match the idioms to the context of the sentences in a way that makes sense, demonstrating the students’ understanding of each idiom’s meaning.

The worksheet is trying to teach students how to correctly use idioms in context. It encourages them to think about the non-literal meaning of these common phrases and how they can be applied to express ideas more colorfully. The exercise also aims to enhance their understanding of figurative language and how it differs from literal language. By completing this activity, students improve their ability to comprehend and use idiomatic expressions, which are often encountered in everyday language and literature.
