Make statements about yourself or ask your partner questions to complete as many sentences on the next page below as you can with things which are true about both/ all of the people in your group.
When your teacher stops you, share one sentence and see if that is the same for anyone else in the class.
Ask about any sentences below that you couldn’t complete, couldn’t understand, etc, working together to complete them each time.
Write at least one preposition in each gap below that needs it, leaving any which don’t need a preposition blank.
