Days of the week- Make me say Yes

Days of the week- Make me say Yes
Present Simple- Yes & No questions/Days of the week communicative practice

Ask your partner Yes/ No questions such as those on the next page about one day of the
week. You get one point if they say “Yes”, but no points if they say “No”, “I don’t know”, etc.

Change partners. Do the same, but this time you get no points if your partner can say
“Yes, but I do that every day”, so you need to think more carefully about what they do that
is different on different days.

Do the same, but this time only asking about other people that your partner knows (so no
“you” questions).

Do the same, but this time with one point for “No” answers and no points for “Yes”, “I don’t
know”, etc. You also don’t get a point if your partner can say “No, I don’t, but I never do
that”.

Do the same, but this time with one point for “I don’t know” answers and no points for
other answers.
