Using Complex Grammatical Structures - Grab Activity

Whilst working with my proficiency students I’ve found they have an amazing level of English but often struggle when it comes to incorporating the complex grammatical structures they need to use in the speaking exam into their language.  I’ve created this grab activity to make sure they use them.

After printing and laminating the cards I get students to take a hand full of them and base their spoken activity around using as many as they can. I have a similar sheet to encourage the use of discourse markers.

Not ‘til I…. did I	What makes me _____ is…
Hardly had we	Whoever
Here’s your	Whenever
I’ve been told	Only when I
Not only…. But….. also	If it hadn’t been
Never have	Should you want to

Under no circumstances	Only when I
