Directions: Choose the word that best completes the sentence.

  • Hey you know what Dwight?  Maybe we should get our photo ID taken together.
  • That doesn't make any sense.
  • Well it saves time.  You know, (because) we could just meet in the parking lot every morning.  Walk in together. Perfect. 
  • Smile.
  • No. I never smile (if) I can help it. Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. (When) someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life.
  • This came out really well. There you go.
  • This is humongous, I am not a security threat, (and) my middle name is "Kurt" not "Fart."
  • What did I write?

  • I have another complaint for Jim's permanent file.
  • Talk to Michael. I gave him the Box.
  • What box?

  • Four years of malfeasance unreported. This cannot stand.
  • Okay. Calm down.
  • No, you calm down! Whose side is Toby on? Who side are you on - him or me? I cannot work with Jim anymore. Either he goes or I go.
  • Dwight.
  • You choose!
  • Stop!
  • One of us is out of here by the end of today!

  • I am not bluffing. Do the right thing here Michael, okay? I have served you loyally for years. I deserve this. You know I do.
  • You know your ID says you're a security threat?
  • You have until five.

  • Oh look Jim. There's a sales position open in Stanford. Want me to call Jan (and) tell her you're interested? I could put in a good word for you (because) I'll still be working here. Transfer! Transfer! Transfer! Everybody! Transfer! Transfer! Transfer! Transfer!
  • Okay you two. In the conference room with me. Nobody leaves (until) we work this out - cage match.

  • Cage matches? Yeah they work. How could they not work? (If) they did not work, everybody would still be in the cage.
  • Okay. So Dwight in your own words, "Somebody replaced all my pens and pencils with crayons. I suspect Jim Halpert." "Everyone has called me Dwayne all day. I think Jim Halpert paid them to."
  • Yes. Five bucks each, (and) it was totally worth it.
  • This morning I found a bloody glove in my desk drawer, (and) Jim Halpert tried to convince me I committed murder. I think he may be the real murderer.
  • Jim Halpert said there was an abandoned infant in the women's room. (When) I went to save the child, I saw Meredith on the can.
  • This morning I knocked myself in the head with the phone.
  • That actually took a while. I had to put more and more nickels into his handset (until) he got used to the weight, (and) then I just took them all out.
  • (Everytime) I type my name, it says "diapers."
  • Just a simple macro. You know these actually don't sound that funny one after another. But he does deserve it though.
  • By the end of the day, my desk was about two feet closer to the copier.
  • Yeah, I just moved it every time he went to the bathroom. And that's how I spent my entire day that day.

Summary

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.)
