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 weekend preferences and identify the activity forms after each preference verb.
  2. Complete A–C, checking dancing, swimming and shopping spellings and base verbs after doesn't.
  3. Write personal preferences and compare activities with a partner to find something in common.

Support and extension

Supply activity vocabulary. Extend with third-person forms; this lesson practises -ing, but suitable to-infinitive alternatives are not automatically incorrect.

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