I could eat a horse
This is something that we say when

we are very hungry
“I’ve had nothing but a sandwich all day-I could eat a horse.”

Слайд 3

Never look a gift horse in the mouth
Never criticise something that

has been given to you if it is free, very cheap, and good for you.
“I don’t know why you’re complaining because that job they offered you is fantastic: the pay is great, the holidays are long, and you’ll be working with an experienced team, I wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth if I were you.”

Слайд 4

To put the cart before the horse
To do things in the

wrong order.
“you’re wasting all this time deciding what to wear for the party when they haven’t even invited you to it. It’s like putting the cart before the horse.”

Слайд 5

To lock the stable door after the horse has bolted
To take

precautions after a bad event has occurred, and not before.
“that Picasso painting was stolen last week, and now they are thinking about improving security. It’s a bit like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.”
