Patterns Worksheets
Patterns in English are interesting to master and are a much more approachable way of teaching grammar. Although I love grammar, most people have an almost allergic reaction to it.
Most of my worksheets, and their style, are best found in the books. I’ve also made one-point cards as examples of common patterns.

Adverbs
“I don’t really like” is a bit different from “I really don’t like” so take care when presenting this often confused pair of expressions.
(Fun fact: The “like / don’t like” sheet is the only one I actually appear in. And I have a really bad sunburn too!)
Prepositions of place

Causative Voice
Active & Passive voice
Defining
Sometimes I need students in technical English classes to make clear definitions of particular terms.
These three worksheets look at different patterns for writing definitions using verbs, nouns, or adjectives.
