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.

  1. Read the drinks exchange and notice doesn't drink rather than doesn't drinks.
  2. Ask about personal habits and another person's habits, adding what they do instead.
  3. Find two differences and report them using a positive and a negative statement.

Support and extension

Supply do/does short answers. Extend with Me neither; keep the verb in its base form after doesn't.

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