A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the spare-room exchange and separate moved/thrown away from sorting all morning and possession.
- Complete the clearing-room items, then rewrite continuing writing, finished emails and the state know.
- Describe a project with an activity, completed result and state; ask How long? and How many? follow-ups.
Support and extension
Played/been playing and waited/been waiting can both fit with different emphasis. Completed quantities and state verbs provide firmer contrasts than duration alone.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
