Lesson Collection #2 - Lesson 1i
Past and Present Tense Verbs with Regular and Tag Questions
Students must provide the missing verb of each question (they are not printed) by choosing from the following: Is… / Isn’t… Are… / Aren’t… Was… / Wasn’t… Were… / Weren’t… Do… / Don’t… Does… / Doesn’t…and Did… / Didn’t… .
The following are some of the questions found on these worksheets:
What color _____ your best friend’s eyes?
Your English teacher _____ wear a wig, _____ ___?
_____ you busy or not so busy yesterday ?
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
I have been teaching English in Latvia for 5 years now to such varied student groups as Music College, military and Bible College students. I came across your site about a year ago and it has been incredibly helpful in my teaching. I have found all of my students - from the highest ranking military officer to the most ordinary school-kid - enjoy your lessons. The worksheets and the ideas are fantastic! Thank you so much for making the English teacher’s work easier, more varied and much more enjoyable!!!

Kurt,
I just wanted to say that I think that the lessons you have on your site are great. I have found that the lessons work well in class and my students really enjoy them.

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Dear Kurt,
Your EFL4U activities are honestly among the very best that I’ve discovered on the web. They are consistently imaginative, high quality and engaging. The students are motivated and the classes are lively.
