Let’s practice some beginner vocabulary. What’s in the hotel room? Can you label the objects?
Present or Past Simple Practice
For Present Simple practice, add is, are, do, or does.
For Past Simple practice, add was, were, or did to the questions.
Grammar Tips!
Normal verbs in Present and Past Simple can only make affirmatives by themselves. They need help to form questions. To make questions and negatives, they need the auxiliary ‘do’ to do the heavy-lifting.
There is only ONE MAIN VERB. Read through the chart.
So the trick is to see if there is already a verb in the question. If there is a verb, it needs ‘did’. If there is no verb, we need to add one. In this exercise the only verb we can supply is TO BE, in Past Simple. It’s either ‘was’ or ‘were’.
Let’s practice!
Add the correct form of the verb, and then take turns asking and answering the questions.
1.) ___ the room have a bed?
2.) ___ the guest awake?
3.) ___ the sheets pink?
4.) ___ the monkey have a banana?
5.) ___ there a lamp by the bed?
6.) ___ a teddy bear sit on the floor?
7.) ____ the clouds grey?
8.) ___ a fish swim in a bowl?
