11-4 Speaking Pairs #1

Objectives & Sequence: This lesson is intended to be used as a review of Grammar 11-1.

Students work in pairs. On each page, there is a table with two columns. One column has direct questions, and the other column has the partner's answers.

On Student One's turn, he or she should read the direct question to themselves and say the indirect version of the question to Student Two. Indirect questions should begin with, "Could you please tell me...?"

Student Two listens to Student One's question and checks whether it is correct or incorrect, according to the answers on his or her page.

Students should alternate taking turns.

Change the following questions to Indirect Questions, using, "Could you tell me...?"
