Understanding an English expression often requires more than knowing the individual words. This workbook introduces that challenge through eleven elementary tests, each containing ten multiple-choice questions. Learners read a sentence and choose the option that best explains its expression, distinguishing intended meanings from literal interpretations and other distracting alternatives. The opening test, Adding Up, includes expressions such as add up, at first hand, home and dry, and full of herself. Take it in moves into phrasal verbs connected with understanding, examinations, daily routines, travel, and managing limited money. Take it easy continues with familiar situations involving relaxation, cooking, household tasks, correspondence, and directions. Several sections organize practice around recurring words. For Good explores phrases involving permanence, certainty, cost, enjoyment, and reassurance. In Control and Out of Control examine expressions describing health, danger, uncertainty, authority, availability, and personal limits. All Agog introduces words and phrases associated with surprise, interest, loss, and beginning again, while Preposition Exercises connects short expressions with everyday conversational meanings. Animal Idioms uses familiar animal images to express unhappiness, foolishness, confusion, practical judgment, and hard work. Funny Idioms links its questions through a conversation about an expensive, disappointing car purchase. The final section, Expressing Emotions, focuses on eagerness, affection, disappointment, support, forgiveness, and recovering from bereavement. Across these topics, the exercises emphasize recognizing meaning from context.
