I'm currently creating 20 brand new 90 minute lessons, and sweeping the internet for ideas and resources.
One site I like is https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/
Care to suggest others? |

Although some of these conversation question lists can be decent to get some ideas the lists have many repeated questions (either in the same wording or worded differently). And the odd time they have random questions that have nothing to do with the topic or even some spelling mistakes. If someone could just do some proofreading and/or delete the repeated questions, making the list shorter it would be better.
e.g.
Do you have a curfew?
How did you get your name?
For whom are you named?
Who are you named after?
How big is your family?
How many (first) cousins do you have?
How many aunts and uncles do you have?
How many brothers and sisters do you have?
How many children do you have?
How many members do you have in your family altogether?
How many people are in your (immediate) family?
How many people are in your family? |

Great point here. However, I said I use it when I write material as the questions are a great way to get ideas.
Also, you can always use the questions with grammar issues as a teaching point. "Class, how should this question really be asked?"
