A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.

  1. Read the Saturday model and notice went, bought and did you choose.
  2. Ask about yesterday, then choose one memorable day and sequence its events.
  3. Tell a four-event story while the listener asks two detail questions.

Support and extension

Supply useful irregular past forms. Extend with What happened next?; imagined stories can replace private experiences.

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