A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Place the waiting and missed connection before the train's arrival in the example.
- Complete A about deadlines, exam revision, tiredness and friendship, making the later past reference point clear in each answer.
- Reorder B's guest preparation, working before a break and tasks finished by noon questions, then compare timelines.
Support and extension
The cues target continuous revision and activity before tiredness; known remains simple. Duration alone does not always demand continuous aspect. Accept contractions and suitable emphasis choices in personal answers.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
