I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Alternatives to Very
Pre-intermediate levels for teachers who are fed up with their students say"very" all the time. A nice little dice game for them to practice the different ways of saying it and a few, short explanations of the vocabulary and usage. Extra examples can be added every class until they are comfortable with the alternatives.

I don�t get it!
I used this with an adult group and it was a lot of fun explaining why the British would laugh at these terrible puns. It was also a good way to look at homophones, connected speech, idioms and phrasal verbs. It can be used with younger students if the last page is removed as that one is specifically for adults. A kind of answer key is at the back ...

Strengths and Weaknesses - Food Adjectives
A worksheet about food adjectives for upper-intermediate levels. A good, robust debate is advisable afterwards. I did this in a bit of a rush, so please let me know if there are any mistakes.

Alternatives to because
A short worksheet on different ways to say "because." Although I have it down as an intermediate worksheet, the game is quite difficult. It is good fun, though.

Wont to, Due to, and Bound to
I started this worksheet to practice "wont to do" and "as was his wont" because it has come up in some texts I have used with my advanced groups. I decided it would be a good idea to review "due to" and "bound to" also, as sometimes all three could be used, depending on the meaning. The answers are on the back.

What does it mean? Pictures
Something to accompany my What does it mean? quizzes but this time with images. Answers are on the back. There are two possibilities for number 3 but "scowl" works best. Also on live worksheets: https://www.liveworksheets.com/kn588850bn

What does it mean? 9
Another quiz. Some cognates and false cognates thrown in for good measure as well as some common words in British English which aren�t really taught that often. There is a gapfill to consolidate and at the end there is a description game with words from quizzes 7, 8 and 9 to practise with. Answers at the back as usual as are the rules to play the...

Phrasal Verbs About Pandemics and Epidemics
Thanks to everybody on this site for giving me suggestions for this. I still have to put a worksheet together about some idioms for this subject. I have done this in the usual manner, a mix-and-match, bingo, gapfill, story, debate with personality cards, FCE practice at the end and the answers at the back.

What does it Mean? 6
A short quiz about what certain words mean, some of them could be cognates or false cognates. It�s best to do them in teams if you have a big class. The answers are on the back. Thank you to morenopalomares for pointing out that I have neglected to upload this one of the series. I will be updating the rest this week. I haven�t got much else to ...
