    Target Structure: Wish with Past Simple / Past Perfect


    Vocabulary: General
    Level: Intermediate +
    Time: 30 minutes, depending on discussion
    Preparation: None

    Suggested Teaching Method:

    Œ This checks students’ understanding of the target structure. You may wish to present ‘wish’ before handing
    out the sheets. Exercise one can then be used to confirm that the students can use the target.

    Give out the worksheet, and ask students to complete exercise 1.

     Follow the instructions in the sheet. Students should check in pairs after finishing. You could ask students
    to identify which sentences are regrets (about the past) and which are dreams (about the present).

    Ž This is the ‘production’ exercise, where students get the chance to personalize the language. Students
    should work alone, making notes in the spaces. It’s not necessary to write sentences.

    If students are running out of ideas for the wishes (too many ‘foreign holidays’ or ‘more money’, why not
    ask them to make a list of the things they don’t like about themselves?

     Work in pairs, or small groups. Students make sentences from their notes, while the partner(s) ask follow
    up questions. Change roles regularly.

    The teacher should monitor but not join in, unless necessary. Make notes of any heinous grammar / vocab
    errors, and go through them at the end of the lesson, using the board. See our correction tips in the
    teachers’ guide in Handouts Online.
