Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the supermarket model and compare singular and plural short answers.
- Ask about home and the room, including things that are absent.
- Design a cafe with five agreed details and describe it to another pair.
Support and extension
Offer singular/plural noun cards. Extend with How many?; learners may imagine a home rather than disclose personal details.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
