A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use page 1 and keep page 2 for checking. Review third-person endings and do / does negatives.
- Model heating ice and it melting. Compare an if-clause with the supplied when-clause.
- Complete the gaps, checking melts, reaches, barks, rings and does not / do not patterns. Locate the subject of each clause separately.
- Compare with the key and explain whether a chosen sentence describes a general process or a personal habit.
Support and extension
Support by splitting each sentence into condition and result. Extend with a harmless routine; the medicine example is not a recommendation, and simplified general statements are not guarantees in every circumstance.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
