About this printable
Record idioms together with the situation that makes their meaning clear.
What is on the page
The printable has eight entry rows with four labeled columns: Expression, Context, Meaning here, Own example. Two larger writing areas are labeled Before you begin and What to carry forward. Use a short identifier in the name/project space and define the date or period covered before making entries. If you need another page, repeat that identifier and add a page number by hand so separate records can be read in order.
How to use it
Keep the original context brief and verify meaning before writing a new sentence.
A practical starting point
Write a brief context note that shows who is speaking and what is happening. Check the idiom's meaning in that setting before creating a new example. Record whether the expression is informal, regional or otherwise restricted when a reliable source indicates that. Avoid translating each word separately and assuming the result carries the same meaning.
