Possessive adjectives and spelling practice

Business Result Elementary Unit 1

Practice spelling things by taking turns asking and answering questions from below. You have to give imaginary answers for some, e.g. if you name isn’t Jon/ John.

  • I’m Alex Case. My name should be on the list. Do you know how to spell my name, or should I spell it for you?
  • Welcome to ABC Corp, Mr Waugh. Sorry, how do you spell your family name?
  • Wow! That’s my name too! Do we spell our names the same way? My name is spelled J, O, N. How do you spell Jo(h)n?
  • I’m sorry but I don’t think I’ve heard of your company. How do you spell its name?
  • I’m so glad I met you because I need to email your boss. How do you spell his or her name?
  • I’ll CC your colleagues when I email you. How do you spell their names?

When your teacher stops you, ask about any questions that you weren’t sure how to answer.
