Be used to and get used to sentence completion games

 

Be used to and get used to sentence completion bluffing game

Choose one of the sentences for your partner to complete, listen to their sentence, ask for more details, then guess if the sentence is true or not.

 

Be used to and get used to things in common sentence completion game

Try to make sentences using the sentence stems which true for you and your partner(s).

 

Be used to and get used to sentence completion guessing game

Fill in at least half of the sentences. Choose one that you have completed and read out just the part which you have written (not the sentence stem which was already there), and see if your partner can guess which sentence you have completed with that information.

Useful language for playing the guessing game

“No, that’s not true because…”

“No, that’s not possible because…”

“That is also true, but it isn’t the sentence I wrote. Try again.” 

Ask about any sentences which you couldn’t use, couldn’t understand the differences between, etc, then play another one of the games above.
