MODALS and EXPRESSIONS OF POSSIBILITY and CERTAINTY

NAMES OF SHOPS
Another way to revise these places in town - this time shops. I deliberately didn�t include apostrophy - so you get "greengrocer" instead of "greengrocer�s" (so warn your students in advance) as they don�t get through in this game format. Have fun :-)

FUTURE FORMS
Review these future expressions in a FUN way. The game was created to complement Macmillan�s Ready for Advanced unit 8 where students are supposed to master (apart from future tenses) various expressions such as modals, likely to, bound to, about to, due to, is to.. etc. Enojy as always!
