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.
- Read the match model and identify did/didn't with a base verb.
- Discuss yesterday and a changed plan, adding reasons and alternative actions.
- Tell two true statements and one invented statement; ask questions before guessing.
Support and extension
Provide did you…? frames. Extend with Why not?; check didn't go rather than didn't went.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
