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.)

Aurora: What are you saying?

Jim: With Gus's ID, it can be like hibernation inside the Autodoc. You can go back to sleep.

Aurora: But there's only one Autodoc.

Jim: Yeah. And you're gonna lay down in it and fall asleep. And you'll wake up on Homestead II. And you'll write your book. You'd finish your journey. You'd do what you set out to do.

Aurora: You'd be alone.

Jim: I've been alone before. And I'll be fine.
