Making Plans with a Friend (Intermediate)

Practice on Your Own

  • Practice saying the words in the target language for today, yesterday, day before yesterday, three days ago (two days before yesterday), tomorrow, day after tomorrow, three days from now (two days after tomorrow), etc.
  • Make a list of all the above phrases and also write how to say times.
  • Imagine you are planning something with your friend or a group of friends for tomorrow/the day after tomorrow/this weekend/the near future or whenever you want. Create a dialogue where you talk to your friend. You ask what your friend is planning to do and you tell what you would like to do with your friend. Talk about the day and time you would like to do certain things.

Practice in Conversation Session

  • Be prepared to tell your conversation partner how to say today, yesterday, tomorrow, etc. in the target language.
    • You can ask your conversation partner if you have any questions or confusions. Your conversation partner will correct your pronunciation and any mistakes.
  • Be prepared to do a role play where your conversation partner will play the role of your friend. You initiate a discussion about plans.
  • Switch roles. Now your conversation partner will initiate the discussion and ask you about your plans, and you will answer accordingly.
