The second page explores idioms connected to nature, food, and everyday objects, providing essential vocabulary for intermediate French learners.

Definition: Food-related idioms often use common ingredients to describe complex situations or behaviors.

Example: "Couper la poire en deux" (to meet halfway) uses the image of cutting a pear in half to represent compromise.

Definition: Object-based idioms often use everyday items to describe abstract concepts or situations.

Example: "Passer au peigne fin" (to search thoroughly) uses the image of a fine-toothed comb to represent detailed examination.

Highlight: Many of these expressions remain actively used in modern French, making them particularly valuable for learners.

Vocabulary: "Être sous les verrous" (to be behind bars) demonstrates how literal translations can sometimes match English equivalents.
