Despicable Me 2: Simple Past - Was / Were


Here is another great activity provided by Pedro Urbano, one of this blog's readers. His activities are wonderful and this one is no exception. Thanks, Pedro, once again.


I've been teaching English for nine years working with teens, adults, and seniors. Creating songs activities and especially movie worksheets are my features. Today, I'm part of ICBEU teacher team - Manaus (a dream of 13 years that came true), working with teens and adults.




Before you watch:

Look at these questions. Choose the best answer:

Hello Claudio!
This really think of me on how movies really affect our learning mostly on grammars. Iv'e seen many movies and sometimes I do enable the subtitle to understand more while watching on it. The Segments you share is really good and great. Learning in any segment is difinitely simple as like that. Do you use also any tools to improve in learning grammars?

Hey Tiffany,
Sure I use other tools, songs, games, podcasts. Movie segments is just one of them.
