A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Personal answers in the key are examples, not required responses.
- Complete the question verbs about studying, going, setting, saving and using things.
- Answer each why question with a purpose, using to plus the base verb.
- Reorder the bag, umbrella and shopping-list questions.
Support and extension
The purpose forms belong in the answers, not necessarily the gaps. Distinguish going to a destination from doing something to achieve a purpose.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
