I Did, Too! - April 02, 2024
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 14e
Students practice rejoinders using past tense did and didn't.
One student reads a statement from the worksheet, for example: Around 11:00 last night, I saw a ghost.
Groupmates reply with any of these four main rejoinders:
I did, too!
So did I,
Me, too! -or-
I didn't!
Another student reads a different statement from the worksheet, for example:
Most of last month, I didn't brush my teeth.
Groupmates reply with any of these four main rejoinders:
I didn't, either.
Neither did I.
Me neither. -or-
I did!
As in the above two examples, many of the sentences are quite silly (thus fun) and students need to respond honestly and quickly. To make this activity more enjoyable (and difficult) - students may not use the same rejoinder once it's been said for any given statement. If all students simply say: Me, too! Me, Too!, Me, Too, it's pretty boring.

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,
There are millions of EFL ESL books here in the library, but I use your worksheets more than any of the others combined.

My students and I have lots of fun using them.

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,

Hi Kurt,
Your customer service is excellent and I think you have a great product. I am using the lessons and I love the fact that I have ready made materials and instructions. These lessons are so great for teaching privately, in institutes and also add to my classroom themes in university.
Keep up the good work.
Kay
