Printable C1 Spanish worksheet on idioms and expressions: meanings, missing words, verb forms, error correction and rewriting. Answers included.
Start with Exercise 1 to check that learners understand the idioms, then ask them to guess where each image comes from (pelo, pata, pilas) before doing the controlled tasks. Learners often change fixed elements, for example saying pan cocido or el grito en el suelo, and they sometimes forget the reflexive pronoun in irse de la lengua or hacerse el sueco. As a follow-up, ask pairs to write a short dialogue using at least five idioms from the worksheet and act it out for the class.
