A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and keep the page 2 answer key separate. Its question forms are targets; personal answers are models, not required wording.
- Mark the starting point and three-year duration in the neighbour example.
- Complete A's home, English-study, childhood interest and friendship questions, choosing for or since from the cues.
- Reorder B's phone ownership, residence and course-change questions; interview a partner and add a detail about change or continuity.
Support and extension
Accept have lived or have been living in Part A, question 1 with a suitable answer. Known stays simple; for introduces duration and since introduces a starting point, including a past-tense clause.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
