Printable C2 Spanish worksheet on idioms and fixed expressions: meanings, key words, verb forms, typical errors and word formation, with answers.
Start with the matching exercise to activate meaning, then move to the more controlled form-focused tasks. Students often translate idioms literally from English or swap key nouns, for example llover a cubos instead of a cántaros or tomar el toro por las orejas. They also forget that expressions like a ojos vistas or a tontas y a locas are frozen and do not agree with the subject. As a follow-up, ask pairs to write a short dialogue that uses at least six expressions from the worksheet, then have the class guess the situation.
