Ill, bad, they are in pain. What parts hurts in this image? The stomach So what does he has? A stomachache If ____ says "I've got a stomachache" whose stomachache is in bad health? What is pain? A feeling Is it a good or bad feeling? Bad What does killing does to something? Ends it, finishes it. So a painkiller ends the pain. If its plural, tow or more what changes? "hurt" instead of "hurts" After each item of target language provide an oral model and a choral drill, focus on individual drilling only in difficult words and when some students struggle Try to elicit one extra example for each sentence, if not possible provide one.

Controlled practice (8-10 minutes) • Provide students with practice of the TL, so they can understand better form and meaning
