SONG ACTIVITY: VERB TO BE ADELE

Hello everyone!
Heres my last song activity, which Ive prepared to practice personal pronouns and the verb to
be with basic students in a private regular school.
I decided to use the song Someone like you, by Adele, both because its popular and because it
offers lots of opportunities to practice the target language.
For those who are not from Brazil: the second part is in Portuguese because it aims at interpreting
the song. You can easily adapt it to your native language, though.
Hope you like it!

Listen to the song and fill in the blanks with a personal pronoun (I/you/he/she/it/we/they) and the
verb to be in the affirmative or negative form when necessary.
