Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Practise choosing was or were to match the subject (I, she, the book take was; they, we, you take were) so pupils can talk or write about the past (ต 1.2 ป.5/1).

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice gap fills - I ___ at home yesterday. (was) - They ___ happy last night. (were) - The book ___ on the desk. (was) - You ___ very kind. (were) - Distractors include am, are and is

How to use it in class

Use as a warm-up before pupils tell what they did yesterday. About 5 minutes, solo mode so you can see who is still unsure. - Draw a two-column was / were chart and add each subject after its question - If many miss You ___ very kind., stress that you always takes were, even for one person Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- You ___ very kind.: choosing was because they picture one person; show that you always takes were - The book ___ on the desk.: unsure because the subject is a noun, not a pronoun; have them swap in it - We ___ at the park.: there is no time word, so some pick is or another tense; explain the set is all past and only was and were fit the subject
