A selection of English ESL basic english ppt slides

This presentation also helps students to become familiar with English names, surnames as well as cities and towns from the United Kingdom. 



GREETINGS AND INTRODUCTIONS

Pokémon Go is all the rage in the summer of 2016 and it looks like it's here to stay for a while. I thought you might want to take advantage of the Pokémon Go craze to motivate your students to learn English, so I created this ESL powerpoint worksheet featuring the Pokémon monsters in various locations allowing your students to practice the basic prepositions of place in English. 



There are 23 slides with gapfill exercises focusing on the following place prepositions: 



IN, ON, ON TOP OF, ABOVE, UNDER, BEHIND, IN FRONT OF, NEXT TO (BESIDE), BETWEEN, AMONG, OPPOSITE, BY, AT.



Since the Pokémon Go mania has sucked in smaller children, teenagers and young adults likewise, I think this worksheet will be suitable for any of these audiences at beginner and elementary levels.



Place Prepositions with Pokémon Go

This is a game that motivate your students to learn and practise English prepositions of place. Sts also can impove their speaking skills using 'there is' and basic vocabulary. 

Prepositions of place

Content:



- What is each conditional?

- Go over the form (rule).

- When it is used.

- Basic transformation exercise.

- Longer, more intense transformation sentences.



Format:



- Same format (as indicated above) for each conditional, so easy to prep for the lesson.



- Easy to understand with logical sequencing.



- Extremely easy to scale up/down depending on your students.

(for example, you can do a "Have you ever...?" exercise; or if your students are able, you could get them to prepare "interview questions" and interview each other.)

First, Second and Third Conditionals

I created this presentation to teach Comparative adjectives easily and in an entertaining way. First, I presented some basic rules about making comparisons. Also, I added some usage example. Then, I added some exercises about the subject. I hope you will like it.

Daily Actions

ESL learners.  This lesson is a very basic one to help students understand possessives with 's.  For Spanish speakers the 's doesn't exist, so it's imperative to practice it.

Possessives with 's

A very basic first worksheet covering positive and negative forms of the verb 'to be', ie was and were, wasn't and weren't.  There are no question forms. 

At the top of the sheet the forms are given in both positive and negative forms, with a singular and plural layout.

The first exercise is on positives and the second on negatives. The final exercise is jumpled with ticks and crosses indicating whether the answer should be positive or negative.
