Let us take a look at some words that start with the word fire-.
We want to develop our vocabulary in this exercise. It is important to build up your vocabulary so that you learn to use the right word in the right place.
Once you have matched the words below with the correct picture, you will be asked to use the words in sentences.
You will therefore need to understand what each word means. If you are unsure about a word, look it up in the dictionary before you write your sentence.
Write a sentence using each word correctly.

In this activity, we focus on developing the learner’s vocabulary. The first part of this activity deals with words or phrases that begin with the word fire-. The learners must match the correct word to the correct picture. They are then asked to use these words in sentences to indicate the correct meaning of the word. Remind the learners that their sentences must start with capital letters and end with full stops. If you have access to dictionaries, these should be made available to the learners to look up the words that they are unsure of.
