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.

  1. Contrast the week's presentation work in the example with a regular free-time habit.
  2. Complete A's spend, work, like and change questions, then write a full personal answer with one relevant detail.
  3. Reorder B's relaxation, course and transport questions, check capitals and question marks, then ask a partner and add a follow-up.

Support and extension

Use do/does + base verb for habits and states, and be + -ing for activity or change. Like in A3 describes a state; A4 targets a trend in progress.

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