Teacher’s notes
Two sets of 13 elementary
questions that can be used to
practise or reinforce basic verb
tenses (be/do). Give students
some time to prepare and then
let them practise in pairs. They
should not show each other their
questions; this doubles as a
listening exercises. Encourage
students to answer the questions
as well as they can. Follow-up
questions should be encouraged.
This worksheet focuses on
personal information and general
knowledge.
