has been used.
More activities
Give students further practice in working out what kind of
words are needed to complete gaps. You could dictate a
series of sentences – or type them out – and ask students
to suggest both what kind of words are missing and what
they might be. Remind or encourage students to look for
grammatical clues near the missing words.
