A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give learners pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until they have compared answers.

  1. Read the bike descriptions and compare a blue bike with the bike is blue.
  2. Complete A–C, checking adjective position, a/an by sound and unchanged adjectives with plural nouns.
  3. Write three descriptions and use an object-guessing exchange in pairs.

Support and extension

Offer adjective/noun pairs. Extend by contrasting an old house with the house is old, where no article belongs before the adjective.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
