A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or invented answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the kayaking model and compare Have you ever? with last summer.
- Ask the experience and recent-change questions, adding when, who and how follow-ups.
- Find an unusual experience your partner has had, ask three past-detail questions and report it to another pair.
Support and extension
If experiences overlap, invent one together. Use past simple for finished times such as last year; keep experience introductions separate from dated details.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
