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.)

  • Agent:
    Hello. Can I help you?
  • Jenny:
    Oh hi. I'd like to rent a car please.
  • Agent:
    Have you hired from us before?
  • Jenny:
    No.
  • Agent:
    Okay, could I see your driving license please?

  • Agent:
    So what kind of car are you looking for?
  • Jenny:
    Oh, nothing too big. It's just for me.
  • Agent:
    Okay. So a compact. Three-door?
  • Jenny:
    Yeah, that'll be fine.
  • Agent:
    For how long?
  • Jenny:
    Umm, nine days.
  • Agent:
    Automatic or manual?
  • Jenny:
    An automatic please.
  • Agent:
    Any additional drivers?
  • Jenny:
    No, just me.

  • Agent:
    Well, we have several models I can show you, but I'd recommend the Vauxhall Corsa. It's 65 pounds per day, and that includes insurance.
  • Jenny:
    That sounds promising. Can I take a look?

    Of course, but first I'd like to run through some of the basics. The petrol tank is full when you start, so if you return it with a full tank, there's no extra charge.
  • Jenny:
    Great.
  • Agent:
    But if you get any parking tickets or speeding fines, you have to pay for them yourself.
  • Jenny:
    Fair enough.

  • Jenny:
    Would it be possible to leave the car at the airport?
  • Agent:
    No problem, but that's a one-way rental, so there's an additional charge of 50 pounds.
  • Jenny:
    Okay.
  • Agent:
    And one last thing? Have you driven in the U.K. before?
  • Jenny:
    Yes I have, so driving on the left is not a problem.
  • Agent:
    That's good.
