A selection of English ESL subject verb object printables

This is a worksheet I prepared for my students to practise answering questions in full sentences. The second part aims to reinforce sentence structure in questions. I used this worksheet in an Elementary class, but only after having a thorough lesson on sentence structure.

Subject, verb, object

This is to practice the English sentence structure (Subject - Verb - Object - Adverb - Preposition).

Cut out the strips, then cut into pieces. Mix up the pieces of each sentence, and have students put the words in the correct order.

If students have some knowledge of English, you can practice making new sentences by replacing the words in each.

** If you'd like the Korean version, send me a message and I can send you the file.

Sentence Structure & Word Order

Practice for sentence patterns such as 

Subject Verb

Subject Verb Object

Subject Verb Indirect & Direct Object

Sentence Pattern Board Game

This is an explanation of how to ask questions in all verb tenses, including ´to be´ questions and subject questions.

The students need to fill in the question words and then the auxiliary verbs for each tense 

Then there is a worksheet for students to change positive sentences to questions and then create their own question word questions using a list of the verbs provided. This is for B1 and above level.

Understanding the Subject, Verb, and Object use in a Sentence.

I created this group activity as a game for students to understand the importance of word order in English at the same time they have fun. You will find:

- 2 boards (you will need one board per student)

- 75 cards (15 subject cards, 15 verb cards, 15 object cards, 15 places cards and 15 time expressions cards) One copy is enough for a group of 5 students.

- and a spinner (you will need a paper clip and a pencil. Press the pencil tip through the paper clip and onto the centre of the spinner circle. With the other hand flick the paper clip like a spinner).

HOW TO PLAY:

Place all the cards on the table so that students can see the pictures. Students take turns flicking the paper clip spinner. They take the cards according to the instructions in the spinner and place them on their boards. The first player who completes the three sentences has to read out loud his/her sentences saying the correct form of the verb in the simple present. If the player does so ok, then he/she is the winner.

As a follow up activity you may ask them to read their sentences and write them down on their notebooks.
