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!!!

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
Dear Kurt,
Feel free to quote me on this! I have found your lessons to be the most useful of all that I have found on the Net! The teacher’s guidance makes presenting the lessons a doddle and the students’ pages are fun, varied, stimulating, exciting and always of interest to my students.
I am a freelance EFL teacher and the students vary from Austrian teenagers, on school trips to London, to adults at a language centre. Your lessons are especially useful for the latter group as I often get called upon to cover a class at the last minute!
Keep the lessons coming please, Kurt - and many, many thanks!

Hello, Kurt!
It’s always very stimulating to get my e-mail every Sunday morning because I know there will be one of your lessons in it. I read them every week and have tried to put them in practice. I must say they really work! Thanks a lot for the great lessons. As a teacher and teacher trainer, sometimes I run out of ideas. Your lessons are very important, not only for me but for my trainees as well.
Best regards,
Ilza Nascimento
Dear EFL4U,
Just to let you know, I surf the web all the time. Your site is still the only one I tell my friends and colleagues about. It’s the only one really worth it! This is not flattery. Just honest. Ask my students, they’ll tell you, too! You’ve got to be a genius,
