ADJECTIVES







Adjective is a key word when learners are initiating a language course. They can express their opinions or make judgments.

Aim: Learning opposites

Activity: Inductive grammar learning exercise followed by oral exercises.

Level: Beginners

Outline:

Use pictures to introduce the words:

1-HAPPY
2-GOOD
3-POOR
4-SMALL
5-ILL
6-OLD
7-YOUNG
8-WRONG
9-STRONG
10-HEAVY
11-COLD
12-SHORT

MAKE SOME CARDS AND HANG THEM ON THE WALL, WHERE THEY CAN EASILY SEEN.

THEY HAVE TO MATCH THE RIGHT OPPOSITE: THE PICTURE AND THE WORD.

To practice the new vocabulary, introduce the sentence:

MY FRIEND HAS GOT A NEW CAR.

Every participant is supposed to say the same sentence changing the adjective, and they can't repeat it.

Ex;

MY FRIEND HAS GOT AN OLD CAR.

MY FRIEND HAS GOT A GREEN CAR.

Now they are able to write and say their own sentences:

I'VE GOT A/AN..........HOUSE.

I'VE GOT A/AN..........DOG.

Enjoy!!!!!
