Exercises about/on Adjectives

[learning54]

Hello teachers,

a) Exercises about Adjectives
b) Exercises on Adjectives

Are both possible and correct?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean? Is this phrase meant as a label? Are you talking about exercises that are designed to practise something related to adjectives?

 

[learning54]

Yes. As a label and on the following slides there are exercises design to practise something related to adjectives.
There could be a bunch of possibilities: about/on subject pronouns, prepositions, etc.

Yes, as a label and on the following slides there are exercises designed to practise something related to adjectives.

How about "Adjectives - Exercises"?

How about "Adjectives - Exercises"?

Thanks for the correction.
It will certainly work, but then there are other slides that say, for example, "Exercises on/about Countable Nouns: Singular and Plural

 

[teechar]

Thanks for the correction.

You're welcome. In future, just click Thank/Like. That would be sufficient.

To Though this one will work, but then there are other slides that say, for example, "Exercises on/about Countable Nouns: Singular and Plural".

Try "Countable Nouns (Singular/Plural) - Exercises".
The point is we try to minimize the number of words in headings/labels (and that especially applies to slides).

Right! That's a great idea to minimise the number of words. I really like yours!

If you have more such headings/labels that you need help with, post them below.

Again with some more questions about exercises that are designed to practise something related, in this case, to vocabulary, yes/no questions, and subject pronouns.

I have: "Vocabulary Exercises: Part A"
What about ... "Vocabulary (Part A) - Exercises" or is it better the former?

Are these instructions properly written?
Yes/No-Questions (Yes-Answers) - Exercises

Which option is better, if any?
a) Subject Pronouns - Illustrations
b) Subject Pronouns Illustrated

I have: "Vocabulary Exercises: Part A"
What about ... "Vocabulary (Part A) - Exercises" or is it better the former better?

Those mean different things.
The first means you have exercises on vocabulary, and you are presenting here part A of those exercises.
The second means you have several parts on vocabulary, and you are presenting here the exercises on part A.

Are these instructions properly written?
Yes/No-Questions (Yes-Answers) - Exercises

Can you give us an example of such a question?

Which option is better, if any?
a) Subject Pronouns - Illustrations
b) Subject Pronouns Illustrated

What do you mean by illustrated? If you just mean examples, then say "Subject Pronouns - Examples".

 

[learning54]

Those mean different things.
The first means you have exercises on vocabulary, and you are presenting here part A of those exercises.
The second means you have several parts on vocabulary, and you are presenting here the exercises on part A.

According to the exercises that I have, the one that fits is the second one.

Can you give us an example of such a question?

Previously, students have learnt about wh-questions that ask for the name of a thing or an animal, and their corresponding yes/no-answers.

Exercise:
There's a picture of a cat and the exercise is as follow.

____ ____ ____ ____? Yes, ____ ____.

The solution:
Is this a cat? Yes, it is.

What do you mean by illustrated? If you just mean examples, then say "Subject Pronouns - Examples".

What I mean is that there are pictures of people with balloons saying "I, you he, she, it, we, you, and they", not just the list of subject pronouns.

I guess “Subject Pronouns - Examples” is enough and using “Illustrations/Illustrated” isn’t really important to be mention and doesn't add important information.
