You've helped me begin to put together the first of an outline because all the endless rules (or lack thereof - just endless differences) have just completely boggled my mind - and then to present to students what I could barely make sense of myself? Yeah, no. Truly, I appreciate it!! This will be invaluable.Erin O'Rourkehttp://www.erin-orourke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621907330801241636.post-22820768932552345352012-06-14T14:23:57.000-04:002012-06-14T14:23:57.000-04:00Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for pointing out the difference in meaning.<br /><br />Depending on the student level, I will teach this. However, I find it is over the heads of lower level students.ESL Teaching Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237801880141970818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621907330801241636.post-4297836713092180902012-06-12T17:46:43.480-04:002012-06-12T17:46:43.480-04:00Remember and stop can be followed by either a geru...Remember and stop can be followed by either a gerund or an infinitive, but the meaning is different.<br /><br />I didn't remember to lock the door.<br />I don't remember locking (having locked) the door.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621907330801241636.post-33468442862807987462012-05-23T19:45:58.209-04:002012-05-23T19:45:58.209-04:00You are right, sorry about that.

Students work in teams or pairs.<br />3. Each team must use two verbs to make one sentence. (e.g. Enjoy, Run - I enjoy running)<br />4. If the sentence is correct, the team scores a point.<br />5. The teacher erases the two verbs from the board and the game continues.<br />6. When all the verbs are gone, the game is over and the highest score wins.<br /><br />That's a quick idea that you could use at the end of the class for some review and some competitive fun. Hope you enjoyed it. Perhaps I could get another post together with some more detailed activities, but I thought you would like that one to start.ESL Teaching Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16237801880141970818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621907330801241636.post-75023860234907636712012-05-23T01:04:34.372-04:002012-05-23T01:04:34.372-04:00you didn't offer any special games in this pag...you didn't offer any special games in this pageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
