I like this expression since it can be used in so
many ways.
Ex. I wonder who called last night.
I wonder what John bought.
I wonder where they are going.
I wonder when he can come.
I wonder how she is.
I wonder why they’re late.
I wonder if they are brothers.
A good way to practice using “I wonder.” is to
have the students make up sentences for the following: I wonder
who, what, where, when, why, how, if….
Let them try using all the tenses.
I wonder who cooks dinner
cooked dinner
is cooking dinner
will cook dinner.
There is also another use of “wonder”, meaning,
“it’s not a surprise that…”
No wonder they got fired, they were
always late.
No wonder she’s exhausted, she worked all day.
No wonder he’s angry, he lost his keys.
No wonder she’s so fat, she eats too much.
Again the students can make up their own
sentences. The teacher can help them out by preparing
situations for them to complete.
No wonder she’s happy…………….
No wonder he’s hungry……………
No wonder Tim’s worried…………
No wonder John’s an excellent student…….
No wonder Mary is sad…………
No wonder she’s cold…………..
No wonder teachers get so tired, they
always have a lot to do!
A Nice Thought
“It’s no wonder truth is stranger
than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”
Mark Twain
