Watch your particles!

Albert had great hair, but Ted Power is a great name, don't you think?
And he seems to be a great man too. (I hope it doesn't take getting hit by a car like Ted was for me to sort out my language teaching ideas and make some of them available on the web.)

One part of Ted's site I really like and would like to share with you works like this:

"Watch Your Particles!" is a set of worksheets designed to practise WORD + PARTICLE combinations in conversation and writing. The task has been divided into seven sections. Each section contains from 26 to 33 conversation questions. The questions, which are suitable for work in pairs or small groups, each contain a WORD + PARTICLE combination and should be answered fairly quickly. Students connected to the Internet can then complete a Multiple Choice Test (running on the Internet TESL Journal site) on the same range of WORD + PARTICLE combinations they have practised in conversation. A Gap Fill text, designed to test learning within a memorable context, then requires learners to produce the correct WORD + PARTICLEs.

So get yourself a partner and start answering some of these conversation questions! And keep track of any new expressions!
