A handy revision/classroom tool for remembering 1. different types of complex structures and 2. which complex structures to use in writing. Personally, I use these by: Printing off a draft version and handing to each student. Students write an example of the complex structure they are going to use in their writing e.g. ‘Tener que + infinitive’ Then, underneath, students write an example of this e.g. ‘Tengo que ir al médico’. They do this 6 times. I then print and laminate these (A5 or smaller), hand them back to the individual student and they keep this in their top pocket!
