This worksheet reviews possessive pronouns, the possessive 's' as well as basic personal questions.

Description
Is there intelligent alien life out there in space? If so, why haven't we found anything yet?

Whatever the reason, it makes a great topic for reading and discussion. Your students will learn expressions including:

  • a deafening silence
  • a near certainty
  • to draw a blank
  • to teem with life
and more.

With a lead-in, collocation exercises, gap-fill reading and discussion questions, there's lots for your students to sink their teeth into!

This worksheet is written for upper-intermediate and advanced level students.
