Listed below are links to interactive quizzes, exercises, worksheets, printables, and lesson plans in verbs from the best ESL and EFL resources on the Internet. Clicking the blue links will take you to the specific page where these resources are located, while clicking the website name will take you to the home page. Take time to browse these excellent websites; they are consistently good and fast loading. Besides the activities and exercises listed below, these sites generously offer, free of charge, a tremendous range of valuable resources for ESL and EFL teachers and students. (Since gerunds and infinitives are used as nouns, we have included them in the Nouns section of this website. Our experience is that students get confused when gerunds and infinitives are discussed under Verbs.)

In answering the interactive exercises, you should follow carefully the prompts and directions. You should read each sentence or part aloud before clicking the answer you think is right. After the correct answer is displayed, think it over as to why it is the correct answer. (Please take note that the correct answer may depend on whether the exercise comes from an American English or a British English website.) After doing so, read the complete sentence again aloud with the correct answer.

To train yourself to think in English, try to recite the sentences with the correct answers from memory and at your full speaking volume. Or you can ask a friend to read out loud the sentences with the correct answers and you repeat them without looking at the computer screen.
