Description
Are you looking to clear up some common errors made by elementary learners?

This worksheet is a fun way of helping your students understand some errors which they are likely to make.

The target language is generally found in an elementary textbook. The Present Perfect isn't included here; we have set things at a more basic level, with emphasis on present and past tenses, prepositions, adjectives and more.

You could cut the cards up or give the sheet out whole to pairs/small groups.

If you're looking for something on these lines for your advanced classes, search for our other 'grammar goofs' lesson, which has much more challenging sentences!

How well do your students know English idioms?

This worksheet looks at five common idioms, grouped by the theme of animals. Your class will learn about:

- smell a rat
- gone to the dogs
- have a whale of a time
- let the cat out of the bag

There is a lead-in question, followed by gap-fill exercises. Your students need to guess the meaning of the idioms and then rewrite sentences using the new expressions.

The worksheet rounds off with discussion questions, so that your students can use (and personalise) the language.

Description
How good are your students at advanced error correction?

This worksheet looks at grammar mistakes which are commonly made by native speakers. There are twenty-four different sentences. Can your class find the errors?

The lesson works well with a follow-up discussion. Some of the 'errors' in the sentences may well be controversial. Should we really care about split infinitive? How does English grammar compare to your students' mother tongue? Is the grammar strict in their language? Do people regularly break the rules?

This lesson is designed for advanced-level classes.
