You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

This game is for practicing past tense English verbs. It is intended to be used by ESL (English as a second language) students, to review past participles. The aim of this game is not to explain or communicate the concept of past tense, rather it is just to practice using past tense. The concept of past tense is difficult to illustrate visually and really is better explained by a teacher in a classroom. So, this game is really just intended as a tool to practice verbs and sentences in past tense. The language used is quite basic, but I think it covers almost all of the basic past tense verb forms (regular and irregular) and a few more difficult ones.

There are 3 different tasks in the game. In the first task, you simply have to drag the verbs to match present to past tense forms. The second task requires you to choose the correct word to complete the sentence. Finally, for the third task you have to reorder the phrase. This sequence repeats with different sets of content.

There is also a review screen in which you can see each verb with its past-participle and an image to convey the meaning.

The game uses a timer to give an element of challenge to the game. The timer can be turned of by clicking on the settings button in game.

There are 22 sets of content. Each set has 8 verbs, with a matching image and sentence to convey meaning and context. This gives a total of 176 items. These were selected from lists of basic verbs in English with a slight bias towards choosing irregular past tense forms; although, some verbs that were hard to represent visually were excluded. For example, it is quite difficult to draw an image to show the meaning of the verb 'decide'. I hope that almost all the basic verbs are covered here and that by mastering this game, students will have a comprehensive mastery of all the basic past tense forms.

When you have a choice between the present perfect (have + inf sans 'to'), and the past simple, check the time marker!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm lecturing on management at the end of January and - this being pandemic times - lecturing now means 'lots of activities'. My search for new activities brought me to this page, which has some VERY anglophone ideas about office life, and some great vocabulary and is very thought-provoking.

Team Charter Give your team a stake in operating procedure

Helping to create a clear, unambiguous departmental or company-wide mandate is a real test of team spirit. To achieve the all important 'buy-in', all team members must feel like stake-holders - that the set goals are achievable and that they, individually, have helped to create the standards by which they will judge their own performance.

The example below contains clear, simple guidelines that were created by team members, team leaders and managers. See which might work for you or your team.

Email

To respect our colleagues' time we will:

Bear in mind that email is a non-urgent form of communication and therefore we will walk or phone if we need an urgent response.

Only cc where necessary and be careful when using 'reply to all'.

Be relevant, specific and succinct and include a deadline in the subject line (e.g., priority: High, Med, Low or FYI).

Be considerate in our tone of voice - don't write in capitals.

Read back and review before sending: it's easy to offend when using upper case font, red colours or replying from mobiles.

Acknowledge emails and set response expectations if unable to action for several days.

Inform email senders politely if emails are irrelevant to you.

Undertake training to understand Outlook functions in order to manage emails.

Ensure that we don't just forward emails and explain why we are sending them.

Team

We Will:

Appreciate and respect what others do and their workload.

Manage upwards in order to manage workload.

Take responsibility to devise and own solutions if an issue occurs.

Always aim to project a positive and receptive outlook during rev-ups.

Have a team 'drop-box' to get ideas and feedback, however sensitive. This can be anonymous.

Where appropriate, circulate a weekly update email to give news of workload from your area ensuring 'FYI' in subject line.

Have regular social get-togethers both casual and planned.

Phone

We Will:

Answer the phone after three rings if not answered, smile and answer with our name.

Set voicemail where applicable, if away from desk for prolonged and planned period of time.

Introduce a new policy re: sales calls.

Only accept sales contact by email: marketing @ABC.com

Meetings

We Will:

Be on time for meetings. If late don't expect a summary.

Send an apology for non-attendance.

Arrange meetings after 10.30am.

Agree attendance is discretionary if you anticipate no actions. It is acceptable to only attend the part of a meeting to discuss your area.

Set and distribute a clear agenda before meeting to allow decisions on who needs to attend.

Wherever possible have 'stand up' meetings lasting no longer than 30 minutes.

'Speak up': your opinion is valued when attending meetings.

Ensure minutes are written and circulated to attendees and cc'd to relevant non attendees of meeting.

Line Managers

We Will:

Be open and receptive to honest feedback regarding the impact of unplanned work and allow compromised alternatives or quicker solutions.

Ask managers to go through line managers for any task required.

Set expectations earlier by warning of anticipated busy and demanding periods

Recognise that negative comments can be a real barrier to success.

Be approachable at all times.

Empower our team to take control of their day and re-prioritise tasks as required in order to manage last minute requests.

Forward plans where possible and give feedback and reason for task requested and provide feedback after task has been completed.

And Finally

We will all be willing to be nudged if we are slipping away from any of the above!

When I introduce a gerunds and infinitives activity in class, I'm usually faced with looks of quiet desperation or grim determination. Most students find the endless list of verbs to memorize daunting, to say the least! Also, most textbooks don't cover the fact that there ARE a few helpful rules for deciding whether to use a gerund or an infinitive in a sentence. The next time you're doing gerunds and infinitives in class, try teaching the rules below-your students will thank you!

The Basics

Gerund: VERB + -ING ( eating, going, studying)
Infinitive: TO + BASE VERB ( to eat, to go, to study)

A gerund is the present participle (-ing) form of the verb. An infinitive is to + the base verb (the verb with no ending). Both gerunds and infinitives are action words (i.e., verbs) in meaning, but they act like nouns in the sentence. They always take a noun position: a subject or an object of the main verb. A gerund or infinitive is never the main verb (e.g., I hiking and I to study are incorrect).

Even when the gerund or infinitive is the object of a sentence, it is common for a second object follow the gerund or infinitive because of their "verb" meaning.

Three Gerund Rules

1. Subject = Gerund

When you need an action as a subject, use a gerund. Infinitives are possible, but they are very formal and not very common in this position.

2. Preposition + Gerund

After a preposition, use a gerund. This is true for prepositions that are part of phrasal verbs, too.

I thought about calling my grandma, but I was too tired.

Are you planning on going to the party? (See the Notes section below to find out why planning is not a gerund.)

3. Verb + Gerund

A gerund or an infinitive can be used after a main verb. It depends on the verb, and there isn't an easy rule for this case. Memorizing the most common verbs that take a gerund, such as advise, avoid, enjoy, finish, practice, quit, and suggest, is helpful.

*Don't forget that some verbs take either a gerund or an infinitive with no change in meaning! Some common verbs include like, love, and hate.

Three Infinitive Rules

1. Adjective + Infinitive

After an adjective, it is common to use an infinitive verb. A gerund is possible in some cases, but an infinitive is usually the better choice.

2. Noun + Infinitive

If the main verb has an object that is a noun or a pronoun, it is almost always followed by an infinitive verb instead of a gerund.

*Note: This rules is very helpful, because it is stronger than the "verb + gerund" rule. For example, the verb advise normally takes a gerund ( She advised studying for the test), but a noun/pronoun object will override this rule ( She advised her students to study for the test).

3. Verb + Infinitive

A gerund or an infinitive can be used after a main verb. It depends on the verb, and there isn't an easy rule for this case. Memorizing the most common verbs that take a infinitive, such as ask, choose, decide, get, need, plan, promise, and want, is helpful.

*Try typing in "gerunds and infinitives verb list" into a search engine to see lists of common verbs that take a gerund or an infinitive.

Notes

Students often get confused by the other functions of -ing words in English. It's worth pointing out that Be + -ing verb can also be a progressive verb form, and that -ing adjectives are possible after the Be verb or before a noun.

I am studying for my test. (present progressive verb; not a gerund)

That game was exciting. (adjective; not a gerund)

That was an exciting game. (adjective; not a gerund)

Practice

Try our Being Brave: Gerunds & Infinitives lesson in the Grammar Stories section of our Grammar School! Students can see gerunds and infinitives in context and practice through a variety of tasks, including a short reading, discussion questions, a writing activity, and two grammar exercises.
