Body Part Idioms 🔒

Here is a 12-question idiom quiz where the missing word in each sentence is a part of the body.

You complete lines like Shannon can't afford to buy a car. It costs an ___ and a leg. and Can you give me a ___ with these boxes?, which makes it handy for learners who want to sound more natural in English.

The fun of these phrases is how far they stray from their literal meaning, so an arm or a hand in an idiom usually has nothing to do with the actual body part.

It pairs nicely with speaking practice once you have the basics down.

Recommended level: intermediate.
