B1 Worksheet - Prepositions following adjectives

Age: 25-125

ESL Level: CEFR B1

Type: Gap-fill exercise, peer interview (5 pages in PDF format)

Target language: adjective + preposition collocations

Description of activities: Put the students in three groups. Give the members of each group a set of 9 cards (the first 9 questions to Group A, the second set of 9 to Group B, the last 9 questions to Group C). Students are asked to complete questions on the strips (have them copy the questions into their notebook in order to save on printing). Monitor them continuously. Make sure they have the correct preposition after each adjective in their questions.

In the second phase, put the students in groups of three (A-B-C). They ask each other their questions. In the feedback session (in open class), elicit some interesting answers they got from their partners.

In the last phase, give a copy of the questions (page 4) to each student and ask them to complete them with the correct prepositions individually.
