Objectives & Sequence: This lesson is intended to be used as a review of Grammar - Verb Patterns #1 & 6-2 Verb Patterns #2.
Students work with a partner. Each partner opens the corresponding page.
Students are presented with a list of ten sets of verbs. Students take turns presenting these verbs to their partners. Partners must create a sentence in any tense using the two verbs and the appropriate verb pattern. Hints are given so that students can ensure partners are using the correct grammar in their sentences.
