Proverb Grid #1
1. Student ability: High Beginner ~ Intermediate
2. Approximate length of lesson: 40+
3. Number of students necessary: 2+
4. Preferred age/maturity: JHS, HS, College, Adult
5. Type of lesson: Pair Work Activity
*****
Language Target: Asking and answering
questions using pronouns and past tense
irregular verbs. Additionally, students
can automatically confirm the correctness
of their dialogues by deciphering four
common proverbs.
Setting Up: Duplicate a grid similar to the
one on the worksheet with the six
pronouns listed vertically (He, They,
She, It, You and We) and the seven verbs
horizontally (buy, eat, see, write, drink,
go and meet).
Randomly pick one of the squares
and invite the students to ask an
appropriate Who, What, When, Where,
Why or How question. If the chosen
square is #12, the pronoun They aligns
with the verb drink.
The letter that goes in square #12 is
an “S,” so the teacher should answer the
question using words beginning with “S.”
For example:

Teachers’ Instructions (1/2)
Students: What did they drink at the
picnic last week?
Teacher: They drank Soda at the
picnic last week.
Students: Is it an “S” ?
Teacher: Yes, it is.
Students: Where did they drink the
orange juice?
Teacher: They drank the orange
juice at School.
Students: Is it an “S” ?
Teacher: Yes, it is.
Note: Students could be encouraged
to substitute names for the pronouns
in the questions.
Getting Started: Pair the students and hand
out one copy of Worksheet A and
Worksheet B respectively. Student A has
to find the letters missing from the even
numbered squares and Student B has to
find the missing letters from the odd
numbered squares.
To find the missing letters, students
have to ask questions and provide hints in
the answers. Here’s a typical Q/A to find
the missing letter for Square #2:
Student A: What did Vince eat for lunch
today?
Student B: He ate P izza (and a Pear).
Student A: Is it a “P” ?
Student B: Yes, it is.
A typical Q/A to find the missing letter
for Square #41:
Student A: Where did we go after the
football game last month?
Student B: We went to Nancy’s house.
Student A: Is it an “N” ?
Student B: Yes, it is.
Once students have filled in all of the
blank squares, they can begin to decipher

α Teachers’ Instructions (2/2)
the proverbs. They simply insert the
correct letters for the appropriate
numbers.
Variation 1: Just about any grammar
pattern could be used with this lesson, not
only simple past tense. The Q/As could
also be a way for students to practice
other forms.
What had he eaten… (and / or negatives:
What hadn’t he eaten…)
What will he eat…(and / or negatives:
What won’t he eat…)
What should he have eaten…(and / or
negatives:
What shouldn’t he have eaten…)
What is he going to eat…(and / or
negatives:
What isn’t he going to eat…)
What does he eat…(and / or negatives:
What doesn’t he eat…)
Other question forms can easily be used
as well:
Q: He ate some bananas for breakfast,
didn’t he? (Tag questions)
A: No, he ate some pears and a piece of
pumpkin pie.

Q: Is there anywhere she doesn’t like to
go? (present tense with negatives)
A: Yes, she doesn’t like to go camping.
Q: Will you meet your sister tonight?
(future tense verbs)
A: No, but I’ll meet my brother after
baseball batting practice.
Discussion: The four proverbs on this page
are not only a way to confirm that the
students had performed the Q/A section
of this lesson correctly, but they are also
very common English proverbs. Discuss
the meanings of these proverbs and ask if
the same or similar proverbs exist in their
language(s).
Ask students to provide examples
for each of the proverbs.
