Par exemple, si je veux dire
- En langage normal: "It's raining a lot"
- En expression idiomatique : "It's raining cats and dogs" "rain cats and dogs" (il tombe des cordes / il pleut à verse).
Spending time
Fill in one of the following words in each space to complete the idioms:
afford, waste(verb), plenty, make, save, run out of, spare, waste(noun), value, short of, precious, spend
1. There's .......... of time. Don't worry! The train doesn't leave for an hour.
2. If you're thinking of going to see the new Speed movie, don't bother. It's a …….............. of time.
3. Sorry I wasn't able to get that book for you. I have just ..............time.
