Describing People Ask and Answer #1

Students can work in pairs or teams, choosing a face from the worksheet and having partners/teams guess the correct answer by asking yes/no questions. Beginners can just describe the person they have chosen so teammates can guess. Alternatively, you can cut the boxes up into c...

ED or ING? Illustrated Worksheet
I was having difficulty explaining the difference between the ED and ING adjective formats, so I found some images to illustrate situations and people�s reactions to them. Found it very useful made into a simple worksheet. If time permits, students can write sentences using each word, for additional practice. Best printed in colour.

Phrasal Verbs in Noun and Adjective Form
This is a worksheet that I made for an advanced student who knows phrasal verbs well, but has trouble with these words in noun and adjective forms. The fact that the particle can flip between beginning and end of the corresponding noun/adjective is particularly troublesome for students, as is inconsistent hyphenation. This worksheet gives practice ...

Adjective + Noun Collocations with the word HEAVY

Kanye West, Fur Coats & PETA - A Reading Lesson
This is a reading activity for intermediate and advanced students. It�s about a controversial subject and it contains one shocking photograph, so it�s not appropriate for younger students. Good for generating lively discussion, though. Let me know how it works for you.
