Assignment: Rewrite the following idiomatic expressions to express the literal meaning.
Expression: “No one invites Jerry to parties because he is a wet blanket.”
Meaning: “No one invites Jerry to parties because he is not fun.’
What my students gave me:
“No one invites Jerry to parties because he sweats a lot.”
“No one invites Jerry to parties because he is emo.”
“No one invites Jerry to parties because he wears wet clothes.”
“No one invites Jerry to parties because he throws water on things.”
“No one invites Jerry to parties because he might pee the bed.”
English is fun. I also had to explain what ‘Take it for granted,’ means. Most of the notes turned in said, “Take it for granite.”
