Paired Conjunctions

This is an activity developed to practice the use of paired conjunctions. The procedure would be the following: students first get a general idea of the movie plot, so that later they can use this information to complete the activity by simply focusing on grammar use. I chose this movie because we were talking about everyday annoyances.
