A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Its personal answers are examples, not required responses.

  1. Read the park example and compare Is there…? with a plural answer.
  2. Complete A for the clock, pictures, chairs and other objects; use personal counts or negatives.
  3. Order B's cafe, plants and windows questions, then ask a partner.

Support and extension

Offer Is/Are there frames. Extend with What is there in your bag?; the answer can use there is or there are as appropriate.

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