ESL English Lesson: Autumn
David Robinson


In America autumn is known as Fall. The word ‘Fall’, which means ‘fall of the leaf’, or ‘fall of the year’, is actually an old 16th century English word. It was used in North America by English emigrants. While Fall became a commonly used word in the USA, in England it became obsolete.

Students quiz each other in pairs: 1) What happens on the 23rd September? 2) What is autumn? 3) What is the American word for autumn? 4) What is a pumpkin? 5) What is a squirrel and a dormouse?
