Grammar
Introduce your students to one of the trickiest parts of English grammar, extremely useful in everyday life. Start with some examples of direct and indirect questions in a variety of early-intermediate tenses (Present and Past tenses, Modals). The worksheet focuses on indirect yes/no and wh-questions. Practice indirect questions in transformations, while paying specific attention to the concept of politeness. Finish with a roleplay based in the job environment – relatable and real-life context.
