  1. Fill in the blanks: Give each student a worksheet with sentences in the simple present tense. Some sentences should have singular subjects, while others should have plural subjects. The students need to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb. For example:
  • She ____ (play) tennis every Sunday.
  • They ____ (eat) lunch at 12 o’clock.
  1. Role-play: Divide the students into pairs or small groups. Give each group a scenario, such as “At the supermarket” or “In the classroom.” Each student takes turns acting out a simple present tense sentence related to the scenario. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects. For example:
  • Student A: “I eat apples every day.”
  • Student B: “We study English on Mondays.”
  1. Picture description: Show the students a picture that depicts various activities or scenes. Ask them to describe what they see using simple present tense sentences. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects. For example, if the picture shows people playing sports:
  • “He plays basketball.”
  • “They run in the park.”
  1. Sentence transformation: Provide the students with a list of sentences in the simple present tense, some with singular subjects and others with plural subjects. Ask them to transform the sentences to the opposite form. For example:
  • “She reads books.” (singular) → “They read books.” (plural)
  • “They watch movies.” (plural) → “He watches movies.” (singular)
  1. Simon says: Play a game of “Simon says” using simple present tense sentences. Give instructions using both singular and plural subjects, and the students should only follow the instructions if you say “Simon says” before the sentence. For example:
  • “Simon says, ‘Jump up and down.’” (plural)
  • “Touch your nose.” (singular)

Remember to provide clear explanations and examples before starting each activity to ensure the students understand the concept of the simple present tense and the difference between singular and plural subjects.

Now I want to create 3 different versions of this. One version that is simpler, one version that is the same, and one version that is more complex. Format the output in 3 nice sections.

Simpler Version:

  1. Fill in the blanks: Give each student a worksheet with sentences in the simple present tense. Some sentences should have singular subjects, while others should have plural subjects. The students need to fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb. For example:
  • She ____ (play) tennis every Sunday.
  • They ____ (eat) lunch at 12 o’clock.

Give each group a scenario, such as “At the supermarket” or “In the classroom.” Each student takes turns acting out a simple present tense sentence related to the scenario. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects. For example:
  • Student A: “I eat apples every day.”
  • Student B: “We study English on Mondays.”

Same Version:

  1. Picture description: Show the students a picture that depicts various activities or scenes. Ask them to describe what they see using simple present tense sentences. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects. For example, if the picture shows people playing sports:
  • “He plays basketball.”
  • “They run in the park.”
  1. Sentence transformation: Provide the students with a list of sentences in the simple present tense, some with singular subjects and others with plural subjects. Ask them to transform the sentences to the opposite form. For example:
  • “She reads books.” (singular) → “They read books.” (plural)
  • “They watch movies.” (plural) → “He watches movies.” (singular)

More Complex Version:

  1. Story creation: Divide the students into small groups and give each group a set of picture cards. Each group needs to create a story using the pictures and simple present tense sentences. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects in their storytelling. Afterward, each group can present their story to the class.

  2. Verb agreement game: Write a list of verbs on the board, both regular and irregular. Divide the class into two teams. Give each team a sentence with a missing verb, and they need to choose the correct verb from the board to complete the sentence. For example:

  • Team A: “The cat ____ (sleep) on the sofa.”
  • Team B: “The dogs ____ (bark) loudly.”
  1. Interview activity: Pair up the students and have them interview each other using simple present tense questions. They should ask questions about daily routines, hobbies, and preferences. Encourage them to use both singular and plural subjects in their questions. For example:
  • Student A: “What time do you wake up in the morning?”
  • Student B: “Do you like playing sports?”

Remember to provide clear explanations and examples before starting each activity to ensure the students understand the concept of the simple present tense and the difference between singular and plural subjects.
