Perfect aspect - correction cards
Worksheet description
Twenty-four cards with sentences for correction with answers. Can be done as a board game or simple group activity.
Instructions
Cut up the cards as indicated.
Place them face down in the centre of the group.
If the activity is to be done competitively, a snakes and ladders board with question squares can be used. Otherwise it can be done as a simple group grammar activity.
Students take it in turns to take a card and fold it in half. At the top is the sentence to be examined; at the bottom is the answer.
The student shows the card to the other student(s), who must decide if the sentence is correct or not.
They check the answer on the bottom of the card.
In the case of sentences that are questions, they can also discuss the questions, giving their personal responses to practise the language.
The teacher should monitor, offering help.
At the end of the activity, ask students to choose the most difficult cards.
Collect these in and show on the projector, giving an explanation.
