Expressões de causa, fim e consequência

Pretérito perfeito e Pretérito imperfeito

I made a video quiz to practice ten basic verbs through multiple choice questions. All the verbs are in the present continuous tense.



A Dog's Dinner (Basic Verbs Practice)

Students will practice the present Simple and Present Continuous through 10 gapfill questions.

Prince Harry Has His Popcorn Nicked by Toddler (Present Simple - Present Continuous Practice)

In this video exercise there are 11 multiple choice questions to revise the past tense forms of both irregular and regular verbs. 

Meant for Elementary (A1) learners, maybe up to Pre-intermediate level (B1).

Simon's Cat: Icecapade (Past Tense Practice with Regular and Irregular Verbs)

10 multiple choice questions with basic adjectives fo Beginner (pre-A1) and Elementary (A1) students.

Simon's Cat - Christmas Presence (Basic Adjectives)

Gru is taking the kids to a fun park. The kids want to win a fluffy unicorn. They have to shoot a spaceship to win it. However, the game is rigged. Luckily, Gru saves the day. 


There are 9 multiple choice questions (each with three answers) meant to test some basic vocabulary that's seen in the scene. 

The questions include present continuous and simple past questions and statements.

This task is recommended for elementary school students at Elementary level (A1), but I think with a little help from the teacher, maybe even beginners can cope with it.

Despicable Me: Fluffy toy scene

This video lesson focuses on revising VERB+infinitive and VERB+gerund combos. In each of the 11 questions, students have to make a choice between the infinitive and gerund to follow  certain verbs.

This grammar topic is most likely set to be covered at Pre-Intermediate (A2) and Intermediate (B1) level.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Flightless birds lead a mostly happy existence, except for Red (Jason Sudeikis), who just can't get past the daily annoyances of life. His temperament leads him to anger management class, where he meets fellow misfits Chuck (Josh Gad) and Bomb. Red becomes even more agitated when his feathered brethren welcome green pigs to their island paradise. As the swine begin to get under his skin, Red joins forces with Chuck and Bomb to investigate the real reason behind their mysterious arrival.

The accent is American English. The narration is normal-paced and well-articulated.

Angry Birds: The Slingshot Scene (Verb + Gerund / Verb + Infinitive Practice)

Students practice the form of the present continuous tense with 10 multiple choice questions in this video quiz.

Simon's Cat: Snow Business (Present Continuous form practice)

A 2-minute scene from Despicable Me, where it is discovered that the Great Pyramid of Giza had been stolen.

This video warmer is a memory game: students have to pay attention to small details and answer four questions. You can check the right answer by replaying the scene (click the Replay button before clicking Check).

This scene could also be an excellent introduction to the Past Perfect tense, since it features this sentence: 

"Outrage in Giza tonight as it was discovered that the Great Pyramid of Giza HAD BEEN STOLEN."

I can see this video warmer exercise as a fun lead-in to a class on famous historical/national landmarks, tourism, Egypt or crime and punishment.

Since the American family embody a well-known stereotype of tourists, you can also use this video lesson to elicit a discussion about how tourists should behave, catastrophy tourism, etc. First, you could have students collect all the stereotypical behaviors demonstrated by the family (e.g taking clichéd photos), then have them come up with other contemptible behaviors of tourists. Next, you can discuss the responsible and decent conduct that tourists may be expected to manifest.

The vocabulary heard in the newsflash toward the end of scene:

outrage 
- fury, a very strong reaction of anger or shock, e.g. "his voice trembled with outrage"

inflatable 
- capable of being filled with air, e.g. "an inflatable mattress"

replica
 - an exact copy or model of something, especially one on a smaller scale, e.g. "a replica of the Empire State Building"

landmark
-an object or building that a city or country is famous for

despicable 
- deserving hatred and contempt, synonyms: contemptible, abominable, heinous, e.g. "a despicable crime"

Despicable Me: The Pyramid Scene (Warmer)

There are 10 multiple choice questions to practice movement prepositions aimed at elementary level.

Despicable Me: Stealing the Shrink Gun (Movement prepositions practice)

I made 9 odd-one-out questions for Upper-Intermediate (B2) and Advanced (C1) students to revise some sophisticated action verbs.

Ice Age: Acorn Troubles (Advanced Verbs Odd-One-Out)

This task is to practice forming passive sentences in a variety of tenses (present simple, past simple, present perfect simple, present continuous), plus after prepositions (e.g. "without being noticed").

Prince Harry's Popcorn Nicked by Toddler (Passive Voice Practice)

Students will answer 10 "True or false?" questions to test their deep listening comprehension skills.

Below you'll also find some discussion questions about this prank.
