TP6 GRAMMAR
FACE2FACE STARTER level

Description

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the third person singular -s/-es endings in the present simple tense. The lesson starts with a matching task from the previous lesson. The task helps students to notice the target language to be taught in the lesson. Later on, the teacher will use a guided discovery task to clarify the form of the TL. Following this, the students will be given a controlled and a semi-controlled writing activity to further practice the TL by describing a typical day of Mr. Bean's life. The context of the lesson is 'daily routines'.
