This activity contains 48 sentences / questions using TO BE in the present simple tense. Each sentence and question is incorrect.
Students need to write the same sentence (or question) correctly.

Note: Sometimes there may be more than one way to correct each sentence or question:
e.g. “Is the chairs comfortable?” could have two possible correct answers:

1. Is the chair comfortable? OR 2. Are the chairs comfortable?

There are versions of this activity that have the correct answers that the students can use to check their own work.

Remind them that if they have an answer that may be different to one that appears on the answer sheet, that there can sometimes be more than one way to correct the sentence so those responses can be checked with a teacher or fellow student.

✅ PRINTABLE (PDF) VERSION ✅
There are two versions of this error analysis activity:

Error Analysis Board Game
This is a simple type of board game where all 48 sentences appear in individual rectangles on the page. At the top left there is a slightly darker rectangle that says START. The final rectangle (also slightly darker) at the bottom of the page says FINISH. GREAT WORK! Arrows show the direction the students need to take from one rectangle to the next.

There are different ways this game can be played. A die (dice) can be used to see how much a student advances around the board. They need to correct the sentence/question that they land on.

Option 1: The students get a point for each sentence/questions they change correctly.
Option 2: Should they change the sentence correctly, they can roll the die (dice) again to continue. If they don’t answer correctly, they return to the START rectangle. I found this fun with adult students.

This game can be played in pairs, as a small group, or individually. When there is more than one person playing, they can take turns after making each correction.

Error Analysis Worksheets
Instead of a board game layout, the sentences (and questions) are listed with numbers next to them.
At the top of each worksheet it says:
– Each sentence and question is incorrect.
– Write the same sentence (or question) correctly.
– Sometimes there is more than one possible answer.

The 48 sentences/questions are divided into two worksheets containing 24 sentences each. Both are numbered 1-24 so that they can be used in any order or the teacher can choose just one of them to use if they like.

The daily routines that appear on the main chart are: I get up, I take a shower, I get dressed, I have breakfast, I go to work, I start work at 9, I have lunch, I finish work, I arrive home, I have dinner, I watch TV, I go to bed.

There is also a bubble in the corner which says: Describe your daily routine

Each of the English routines above is demonstrated with a cartoon representing that action. You will notice that they refer to the daily activities of an adult.

BONUS: Each daily routine is on its own A4 size page (see how they are grouped in the content section below). We have also included the following bonus routines for students going to school: I go to school, I have classes (two versions, same text, different images), I finish school. We have also included the alternative ways of saying some of the expressions due to regional differences e.g. not only do we have a flash card saying ‘I have breakfast’ there is also one that says ‘I eat breakfast’. You can see the alternatives in the content section below.

These wall charts are perfect for decorating the ESL / EFL classroom. You may also want to laminate each cartoon chart and use them as large flashcards. Some teachers also photocopy these and make a booklet for students.

Permission to use these charts is only for individual classroom use.

We also have a version of Daily Routines in Spanish.
