Zero Article- Key Word Activities
Do the activity/ies below that your teacher tells you to with words on the cards:
-

tell a story of someone’s (imaginary) strange day

-

tell someone’s (imaginary) interesting life story

-

find things in common (experiences you have both had, opinions you share, etc)

-

pick a word for your partner to make a personal sentence from, ask questions about
what they say, then guess if the sentence was true or not

All the words can take zero article, but any correct sentence with those words is okay.
