what do you do on a regular school day?
how often do you:
go do to the doctor?
play music?
go to the cinema?
fight with your brother/sister?
do your homework?
Talking about routines and habits is a very common thing to do. For this purpose we usually use the present simple and a frequency adverb.
What are frequency adverbs, how do we use them? Complete:
G-
U-
S-
A-
N-
O-
S- Seldom = rarely = hardly ever (rara vez, casi nunca)
What do you usually/always/never do when:
it rains
it is Saturday
There is no WI-FI
You don't like the food
You have no money during the break
The alarm goes off in the morning
GAMES:
Write five sentences with daily activities, be original:
do my homework
copy in the exams
send love poems to my sweetheart
insult my teachers
love my teachers
go to school by limousine
jump when I hear the word hello
do what my parents tell me
Now let's mix them randomly with the frequency adverbs (previously written on the board). It can also be mixed with hangman.
