This resource is designed to enable students to use their knowledge of holiday vocabulary and related grammatical structures to piece together five correct sentences in each section. The completed sentences will give them some models, often using tenses other than the present, to use in their own independent writing. The sentences are quite complex, and this may be an activity to complete in pairs. Students work from left to right, picking one word/phrase from each column each time to complete the sentence. Suggested answers included.
