Expression Fix-Up

In this worksheet, students read a paragraph in which several common expressions are used incorrectly. Their task is to rewrite the paragraph so that each expression fits logically and makes sense in context. This requires students to identify misused idioms, understand their correct meanings, and adjust the writing to reflect proper usage. The exercise strengthens editing, revising, vocabulary knowledge, and comprehension of figurative language. Students also practice producing clear, coherent writing through correction and improvement.
