This past obligation activity helps to teach students how to express obligation in the past with 'had to' and 'didn't have to'. Finally, students go around the class reading their sentences to other pairs who try to guess the place being described. Afterwards, pairs think of a place and write five rules for that place using modals of obligation. The first pair to do this correctly wins. Students then read the sentences and decide which rules are for a museum and which are rules for a swimming pool. Next, students refer to the sentences they just wrote down and complete rules with the modals of obligation: must, mustn't, have to, don't have to, should or shouldn't. The students then swap roles for Text B and the process is repeated. This continues until all the sentences in Text A have been dictated. The reader runs to Text A, reads the first sentence, remembers it, runs back and dictates it to the writer who writes the sentence on the back of their worksheet. One student is the reader and the other is the writer. In this fun modals of obligation running dictation activity, students practice completing and writing rules for various places. > ABOUT THIS SITE: Copyright Laurent Camus - Learn more / Help / Contact | Do not copy or translate - site protected by an international copyright | Cookies | Legal notices. | Get | Grammar | Guide | Harry Potter | Have | Homonyms | How words are built | Human body | I like, I dislike | Idioms | Imperative | Impersonal | Infinitive | Introducing someone | Inversion | Irregular verbs | Jobs | Journeys | Linking words | Literature | Make or do? | Making portraits, describing | Mars | Matilda | Methodology | Modals | Movements | Music | Nature | Negation | Newspaper | Nouns | Numbers | Online activities | Opinions | Opposite words | Particles | Passive voice | Past | Past habits | Phone calls | Placement tests | Plural | Poems | Politeness | Prepositions | Present | Present participle | Present perfect | Plu perfect| Pronouns | Pronunciation | Punctuation | Quantities | Question Tags | Questions | Relative sentences | Say, tell or speak? | School | Several tests | Slang words, colloquial words | Snow | Songs | Speaking | Sports | Subject-Verb agreement | Subjunctive | Subordinate clauses | Suggesting | Synonyms | Tales | The Internet | The house | The weather | There is/There are | This or That? | To have someone do something | Towns | Translations | USA | United Kingdom | Video | Waiting for approval | What time is it? | With a lesson | Writing a letter | Clothes | Colours/Colors | Comparisons | Compound words | Conditional and hypothesis | Conjunctions | Contractions | Countries and nationalities | Dates, days, months, seasons | Dictation | Direct/Indirect speech | Diseases | Exclamative sentences! | False friends | Family | Films | Find the correct tense | Find the missing letter | Find the word | Food | Frequent mistakes | Future | Games | Gender | General | Geography, history, politics, literature. | Banks, money | Beginners | Betty's adventures | Bilingual dialogues | Business | Buying in a shop | Capital letters | Cars | Celebrations: Thanksgiving, new year. | Adjectives | Adverbs | Agreement/Disagreement | Alphabet | Animals | Articles | Audio test | Be | BE, HAVE, DO, DID, WAS.
