EFL Grammar Freer Practice - Present Simple and Past Simple Passive
I've made a variety of EFL grammar practice you can use in your class. Most of the practices comes from my own experience when teaching English in one of the private course in Gresik. But, some of them is credited to widely available sites, such as: teach-this.com. From such site, I can find other variations of similar practices, this time is about present and past simple passive sentences. I think we need to be more flexible and willing to be creative since as a teacher we'll find a lot of unexpected situations and students with difference characters. I hope you can find them useful.
Each practice will be explained based on the following information, such as: the target language or vocabulary, objectives, number of participants, materials, instructions and rules.
