Grammar worksheets for the structure you’re teaching this week
Name the structure, set the level, and get practice sentences that drill it — gap-fill, cloze on a continuous passage, or multiple choice — with the answer key. In English, Spanish, French or German.
Practice for the exact thing, not the general area
The problem with grammar worksheets you find is that they cover a topic rather than a difficulty. A sheet on the past tenses gives you eight sentences on the past simple when what your class actually can’t do is choose between the past simple and the present perfect.
Generated practice can be that specific. Ask for twenty sentences contrasting preterite and imperfect, or eight items on Konjunktiv II for polite requests, and you get twenty sentences on exactly that.
What people ask it for
| Language | The structures that generate the most requests |
|---|---|
| English | Present perfect against past simple, conditionals, reported speech, passive voice, articles, phrasal verbs |
| Spanish | Preterite against imperfect, subjunctive triggers, ser against estar, por against para, object pronouns |
| French | Passé composé against imparfait, subjonctif, agreement of the past participle, y and en, relative pronouns |
| German | Perfekt against Präteritum, Konjunktiv II, the four cases, adjective endings, word order in subordinate clauses |
Three formats for the same structure
Which one you want depends on where the class is with it.
Gap-fill sentences — for first practice
Discrete items, one target per sentence, no distracting context. Students see the pattern clearly and you see quickly who has it.
Cloze on a passage — for consolidation
The same structure inside continuous text, where students have to read for meaning to choose correctly. Much harder, and closer to real use.
Multiple choice — for contrast and testing
Where two forms compete, forcing a choice between them is the point. Good distractors are the whole value here.
Questions people ask
Can I set how many sentences?
Yes. Ten is enough to check whether it landed; twenty-five is a homework sheet.
Will it use my vocabulary?
Give it your target words and the practice sentences will be built around them — grammar drill and vocabulary revision in one sheet.
Does the level change the grammar it uses elsewhere?
Yes, and that matters more than it sounds. A conditionals worksheet set at B1 keeps the surrounding vocabulary and clause structure at B1, so the only hard thing on the page is the thing you’re teaching.
Does it explain the rule as well?
It generates practice, not a grammar reference. If you want an explanation on the sheet, write it yourself at the top — you’ll phrase it the way you already phrase it in class, which is better than a generic version.
Drill the thing they keep getting wrong
Name the structure and the level, and see twenty sentences on exactly that.
