This activity is designed to improve sentence accuracy and complexity. Most students can produce the key content words in a sentence. However, they have difficulty with accuracy because the functional words are difficult or can seem unimportant. This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Resumen

Esta actividad está diseñada para mejorar la precisión y complejidad de las oraciones. La mayoría de los estudiantes pueden producir las palabras clave del contenido en una oración.

También ayudará a los estudiantes a desarrollar su uso de estructuras de oraciones más naturales, variadas y complejas.

  • Luke:
    What do you mean?
  • Jenny:
    Maybe we should just go to the police.
  • Luke:
    We can't. You heard what the kidnappers said.
  • Jenny:
    I know. I know, but it's all such a mess. What will we do if we can't find him.
  • Luke:
    We will.
  • Jenny:
    I hope so. I just don't know.

  • Jenny:
    Rob, hi.
  • Rob:
    Hi Jenny.

    Any news?

    It's snowing really heavily, and there aren't any flights to London. I don't know when I'm going to get back.
  • Jenny:
    Oh Rob, that's terrible.
  • Rob:
    I know, but I'll keep trying.

  • Jenny:
    Is there anything we can do?
  • Rob:
    Yes actually. I've been thinking about dad's message. That "old man" business.
  • Jenny:
    What about it?
  • Rob:
    He must be telling us where he is. It's the only explanation.
  • Jenny:
    But what can we do about it? We don't know what it means.

  • Rob:
    Well, dad also mentioned something about his study, didn't he?
  • Jenny:
    Yeah, but...
  • Rob:
    I'm sure I remember something about an old man. It's the name of a book or a painting or something, and I think it's in the study.
  • Jenny:
    Henry's study?
  • Rob:
    Yeah.

  • Rob:
    Listen, Jenny. I think you'll have to go back there.
  • Jenny:
    Back to Henry's house? But we know they're watching.

    I know and I'm really sorry, but it's our only chance.
  • Jenny:
    You're right. Luke and I will figure something out.
  • Rob:
    Thanks Jenny. I wish I was there to help.
  • Jenny:
    Don't worry. We'll be okay. Talk to you soon.
  • Rob:
    Bye Jenny. And be really careful.

  • Jenny:
    Did you get that?
  • Luke:
    Yes, but we can't go to the house now. If they're there, they'll see us immediately.
  • Jenny:
    We'll have to go when it's dark.
  • Luke:
    But they still might see us.

    We can sneak in the back way. There's a footpath.
