This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Henry: Yes of course. Well this is really inconvenient for you. You're going to borrow my car, aren't you?

Jenny: No, don't worry Henry. I'd actually decided to rent a car. Anyway, I'll need it for work, and it'll probably be cheaper to run here than in London. I can get one while Luke is working his magic.

Henry: Well, if you're absolutely sure, just go to the back door and you'll see the path. Follow that takes you to the bus stop.

Luke: Yeah, no problem.

Jenny: That's great. I feel awful just leaving it here like this.

Luke: Honestly, don't worry about it.
