Expression Explorer

This worksheet presents sentences with missing words from common expressions. Students must use context clues to identify the correct word that completes each saying. By analyzing the meaning of the full sentence, students infer which idiom fits and learn how figurative expressions appear naturally in language. The activity strengthens reading comprehension, reasoning, and vocabulary skills. It also reinforces students’ ability to interpret figurative language based on real usage rather than memorization.
