▪
Before the lesson, prepare the Sentence Builder cards. You will need the following cards:
pronouns, to be verbs, verbs (for example: eat, sleep, play) and the verb ending "-ing,= and a
question mark.
Pass out the cards, one per pupil.
Have pupils stand in a line to create sentences. Say a sentence and have the pupils who hold the
correct cards stand at the front of the class. For example: (You) (are) (eating). Then change the
sentence into a question and have pupils change their order accordingly: (Are) (you) (eating)(?)
Say new sentences and questions by changing either the pronoun or verb at a time. Play a few
times to have pupils practice building sentences, especially focusing on creating the correct word
order for question forms in the Present Progressive.
