Building Sentences
Instructions for use:
Print the worksheets onto card. Cut out and laminate the cards. Put each set of cards in an
envelope or box, with the relevant label attached. These are some ideas for how to use them:
a)
Practise sentence building - ask students to make sentences by putting the
cards together. Sentences must make logical and grammatical sense!
b)
Match together the three different verb forms: present, past and continuous.
c)
Put groups of words (e.g. nouns or adjectives) into alphabetical order.
