review lessons later in the term. This task helps students to
understand the importance of
adjectives and descriptive
language in allowing us to build up
a picture in our heads. Students
can read the short paragraph that
describes a kitten. Based on the
description, the students should
be able to draw the kitten. All of
the students’ pictures should look
similar, as long as they follow the
description properly. At the end of
the task you can show some
pictures from some of the
students, and elicit from the rest
of the class if they have followed
every part of the description.

Worksheet - Comparative and


Superlative Adjectives
You can quickly review the
students’ knowledge of
comparative and superlative
adjectives by boarding some
examples. The beginning pf the
worksheet gives an overview of
the general rules for forming, and
using, comparative and superlative
adjectives. In the first exercise,
students have to fill in the gaps to
complete the table. Feedback for
this can be done as a whole-class
activity on the board. In the next
section, students must think of
their own examples of adjectives.
Next, students have to decide if a
comparative or superlative has
been used in a sentence. Finally,
students have to write their own
examples of sentences using
comparatives and superlatives. Try
to include as many students as
possible in the feedback.
Worksheet - Subject-Verb
Agreement
Before beginning this task, try to
elicit from the students the two
things that every sentence must
have. Every sentence needs a
subject, and a verb. Elicit what a
verb is. Ask for a couple of
examples, and board them. Then,
try and elicit what the subject of
the sentence means. Write a
couple of example sentences,
highlighting the subject and the
verb in each. Make sure you
include some examples where the
subject is third-person singular,
and demonstrate how we change
the verb for these subjects. Include
proper nouns, pronouns, and
common nouns as subjects in your
examples
In the first part of this worksheet,
students have to think of ten
verbs. Next, they must think of ten
different possibilities for subjects.
At the bottom of the worksheet,
they have to combine the subject
with the verb, ensuring that they
correspond. They can then add to
the subject and the verb to form a
complete sentence.

In this worksheet, there are firve
sentences, each with a mistake.
Students have to find the mistake
and correct it. This could be a good
task to set as homework.
