- Adjective endings also depend on whether they follow the definite article, the indefinite article or no article.

- A well-developed response has at least three verb clauses.
- Extend your answers by using a different tense, a different subject, or opinions and reasons.
Keywords
Adjective agreement - when the ending of an adjective matches the noun it describes in gender, case and number
Common misconception
Like in a role-play, I should keep my answers short and concise in a conversation.
Conversation answers should be developed and extended with at least three verb clauses.
Teacher tip
Brainstorming questions before tackling a conversation on a given theme is a step often missed out by students. If they do this regularly in class, it will also help them to anticipate possible questions in the speaking exam.
