Verb Forms Revision
Make Questions from a Text

Method:

1.

T writes some WH question words and auxiliary verbs on the board, e.g.
WHAT
WHERE
WHEN
WHY
WHO
WHICH
HOW

BE
DO
HAVE
WILL
CAN
MUST
etc.

The question words T writes will depend on which tenses are in the text. For example, if there are no
sentences with ‘can’, SS will not be able to write a question with ‘can’.
2.

SS work in pairs or groups and write a question starting with each word based on the text. T monitors,
checks, and corrects.

3.

Group feedback: one SS from each group or pair reads out their questions, with a short answer for each
given by a SS from a different pair or group. T elicits from the rest of the SS, “Are they correct?” If not,
discuss why not. Refer back to earlier work done on tenses.

Tips:

•

Ask SS to write questions beginning with a wide range of different question words, not all WHAT, for
example.

•

For homework, and to consolidate learning, SS could write up their questions and answers based on the
text.
