Make It Figurative

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on idioms, a type of figurative language where phrases convey meanings different from their literal interpretations. It presents an example of an idiom, “A penny for your thoughts,” explaining that the phrase is used to inquire about someone’s thoughts, not to offer an actual penny. Students are then provided with sentences that express literal thoughts and are instructed to rewrite them using idiomatic expressions.

The objective of the worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding and usage of idioms in the English language. It encourages students to think creatively by transforming literal sentences into ones that contain idiomatic expressions. This exercise aims to develop their ability to recognize and apply idioms, which are frequently used in everyday communication, thereby improving their conversational and writing skills.
