Matching Meaning

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to test a student’s knowledge of idioms, which are phrases that have a figurative, sometimes non-literal meaning. The task involves matching ten different idioms listed on the left side of the worksheet with their corresponding meanings on the right side. These idioms include phrases like “set in his ways” and “take it with a grain of salt.” Students are required to draw a line connecting each idiom to its definition, which requires them to understand and recall the meaning of each phrase.

The worksheet is trying to teach students the concept of idiomatic expressions in the English language, which often cannot be deduced merely from the words themselves. It encourages students to think about the figurative meaning behind commonly used phrases and how they can convey complex ideas or situations succinctly. The activity also aids in expanding the students’ vocabulary and helps them to become more fluent in expressing themselves in English. Furthermore, it can improve their reading comprehension skills by familiarizing them with idiomatic expressions that they might encounter in literature or daily conversations.
