Use these task cards with your Adult ESL Beginner or Intermediate students to practice asking and answering questions using both regular and irregular verbs in the past simple tense.
These cards are great to use with multi level classes (as beginners’ classes tend to be). They are easy to use because I’ve done all the hard work for you.
Included in this resource.
- 64 task cards - 32 in colour and 32 in black and white
- 2 grammar reference sheets with a review of Yes/no and Wh question forms
- lists of common regular and irregular verbs for students to refer to, if needed.
There are 2 sets of 16 cards - all with questions in the past simple tense. Set 1 has the complete question, Set 2 has gaps in the question requiring the student to create the question before asking it. In both Set 1 and Set 2 , questions 1 - 8 are easier than questions 9 -16 which include more difficult vocabulary and will be more difficult to answer.
Task cards are very versatile and an be used in a variety of ways in a classroom:
- To practice a grammar point/ target language that has been taught - in this case the past tense
- As a warm up activity
- As a review of a previous lesson
- As a diagnostic tool for you
- To change the pace during the lesson and get the students talking
- Can be used with pairs or groups
This lesson prints to A4 paper and may have some UK/Australian spelling.
