Introduction:

This is an activity for intermediate + students to review some of the most common adjective endings. Students complete a worksheet in pairs, share their examples with other students and complete the sentences with adjectives of their choice.

Level: B1+

Time: 45 minutes

Objectives:

1. To review some of the most common adjective endings.
2. To complete sentences with students’ own choice of adjectives.
3. To discuss the completed sentences with another classmate.

Materials:

1. Worksheet (one per student)

Procedure:

1. Use an object e.g. a watch to elicit some common adjectives from the students and write them on the board e.g. digital, expensive, tiny, electronic, beautiful, luminous, plastic, elegant etc.
2. Ask students to identify the suffixes in the examples above.
3. Hand each student the PDF worksheet.
4. In pairs, students complete the first two columns in the table on page 1. You can make the activity competitive by setting a time limit (You can use your elegant digital watch). 🙂
5. When the students have completed the first and second column, ask them to swap pairs, compare answers and complete the third column with examples they like from their new partner. If repetition of answers means they can’t complete the third column with any new examples, the students can continue mingling.
6. Monitor and provide feedback.
7. Individually, ask students to complete the sentences on page 2. The sentences my students created were hilarious!
8. When the students have finished, ask them to swap their worksheets and read each other’s answers.
9. In their pairs, they must choose 5 sentences and ask further questions about their partner’s choice of adjectives. This encourages each student to justify their answer and the repetition reinforces the language.
