T helps the Ss to elicit the right target grammar with clues or giving options. If Ss guess correctly, T asks Ss why verb to be ''is'' is used in the former sentence and ''are'' is used in the latter sentence. T helps the students to elicit the target grammar

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

T shows Ss pictures of objects and asks the Ss to work in pairs and ask each other questions about the position of each item and to answer them using the propositions of place learnt today. T observes Ss performance and corrects if needed

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

T asks Ss to draw quickly the living rooms of their homes and then to ask each other questions using the vocab and grammar learnt today. While Ss perform the free activity T listens to Ss sentences and takes notes of their mistakes to discuss them later on in class as a whole. T doesn't give Ss the corrections, rather tries to elicit them using clues
