What's in the worksheet

How to use it in class

Use as an end-of-term quick check, 5 minutes in solo mode, to see which topic needs reteaching. - Before playing, tell pupils to find the clue word first: yesterday, now, than - If have never been goes wrong for many, teach it as the phrase I have never been to ... - Use the mark book results to choose what to revise Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- How ___ money: choosing many because money feels countable; review that money is uncountable and takes much - I ___ never been: picking am out of habit, as present perfect may be new; teach it as a fixed phrase - They ___ playing now.: choosing was if they miss the word now
