Phrase of the week

Hi everybody!! This week we have the expression "Put your foot in it", which is used to talk about when we say something embarrassing by mistake. It is employed in speaking but not in writing, and only in a informal context (not in a formal one).

Example:

• I really put my foot in it with Janet this morning.
• What did you say?
• I said I thought the new marketing idea was stupid and it was her idea.
• Oh dear. Did she seem upset?

We hope you have found it useful. There will be more expressions the next week ;-)

Learn English by playing games

Here we come again with a new game for kids: a crossword. You have to complete the puzzle by filling in the correct missing letters.

This are the instructions to play the game:

Click on an empty space in the crossword and select a letter you think might go there, the letter will then appear throughout the crossword in highlighted boxes, giving you useful hints on other words in the crossword. If you choose the wrong letter, other parts of the puzzle won’t make sense, so be careful.

Finishing the crossword will raise the difficulty from beginner to easy and onwards to normal, hard and expert. If you’re stuck for ideas then simply choose ‘give up’ and try a new crossword.

Cheer up and good luck! :-D
