Idioms are difficult to understand and often express emotional or stressful issues.
Here we can look at five wintery idioms used for negative concepts. 

Using this completed dialogue can you begin to understand these winter idioms? 



In the above task, the student has changed the verb tense to fit the dialogues correctly.
If you'd like help understanding verb tenses please book a lesson with me. 
However, continue reading to understand and practice these idioms more. 

Now try matching these winter idioms to some fun pictures. If you have a reasonable reading comprehension level then it shouldn't be too difficult. 



How did you do? 
You can check your answers and comprehension with these sentences. 

If you matched the sentences with the pictures as follows then you did very well. 

Picture 1 goes with sentence 1
Picture 2 goes with sentence 3
Picture 3 goes with sentence 4
Picture 4 goes with sentence 2
Picture 5 goes with sentence 5

I hope you enjoyed these wintery idioms as much as you enjoy snow.
