A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1; use the suggested answers on page 2 after they have written and compared their own responses.
- Sort invitation patterns from accepting and declining responses; check How about plus -ing.
- Write the lunch, study, birthday, cinema and response sentences.
- Pair an invitation with a reply and ask for the time or place before confirming a plan.
Support and extension
Offer activity and time choices. Extend with a genuine alternative after declining. Learners may use fictional commitments; Maybe another time should not be treated as a firm promise.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
