Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Create a study set of idioms and expressions for [TARGET_LANGUAGE]. Topics: [TOPICS]. Register wanted (casual, professional): [REGISTER]. Level: [LEVEL]. Give twenty expressions with the literal meaning, actual meaning, a natural example conversation of two lines, the register, and whether it is common or old-fashioned. Group them by theme. Add warnings for expressions that may offend or are regional. Provide a matching quiz and a short dialogue gap-fill. Explain how to decide whether to use an idiom as a learner: use only the ones I hear regularly. Mark usage notes [VERIFY] and tell me to check with native speakers. Add a short list of five expressions that learners commonly overuse or misuse, with a safer alternative for each, and a role-play where I must understand an idiom from context. Include a note on the origin of an expression only where it helps memory and is reliable, and mark origin claims [VERIFY].
