Past Passive quiz

In this teaching activity, students complete sentences using the past passive form. Then, they read the sentences to their partner. Their partner guesses if the sentences are true or false.

Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each pair of students and cut as indicated.

Procedure

Divide the students into pairs (A and B) and distribute the worksheets.

Students begin by filling in the gaps in each sentence with the correct past passive form of the verb in brackets.

When all the students have finished, go through the correct answers with the class.

Then, begin the speaking activity.

Student A reads each sentence to Student B. Student B has to guess if each sentence is true or false.

Student A notes down all of Student B’s correct answers.

The students then swap roles.

When they have finished, students add up their partner’s score.

The student with the most correct answers wins.

At the end of the activity, ask the students to tell the class which facts they found surprising.
