Lesson Collection #2 - Lesson 1i

Time: 30+| Level: JHS-Adult| Mode: Pair Work Activity

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.

Hi Kurt,
I just want to thank you for all your hard work on the website & the many ideas & worksheets you provide for ESL teachers all over the world.

Thanks again,

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!

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,
Your collection of lesson worksheets is really great. It makes my teaching much easier and funnier. I work in an International House School in Ukraine. We all enjoy your lessons, especially our students. Your illustrations are just great.
