A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the station-desk exchange and compare where platform six is with a direct question.
- Complete the travel information gaps and transform train, ticket, bus and payment questions.
- Write three visitor questions, including one yes/no form, and role-play visitor and staff.
Support and extension
Accept whether for if. Could you tell me does not automatically trigger past backshift; the complete polite question still ends with a question mark.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
