English as a second language - Basic questions. When students start to learn English as a second language, there is a set of basic questions in English they need to master.

English as a second language - Basic questions

All language courses start with these questions, but many people struggle to learn them. It is necessary to learn these by heart. However, you also need to be able to vary them a bit. To help you teach or learn these questions I have devised the following activities: a mind map showing the basic questions for students of English as a second language, a worksheet with several communicative and drilling exercises, a song to help in memorising the questions and an online quiz. If you like the activities, please do not hesitate to comment below. I love starting lessons with something interesting. Play the song twice and then play the song on a whiteboard and ask the students to check their answers. Basic question – mind map Ask the students to have a look at this mind map and deduce the meaning of the questions – using the lyrics and the mind map. Grammar Archives.

40+ Best Books for Boys Ages 8-16

Let me start by saying that my now-teenage boys are not avid bookworms. They’re decent readers, but my sons don’t just hunker down with a book whenever they’re bored.
