Grammar-Controlled Practice (3-5 minutes) • To see if students can use the elicited structure effectively or not.

Write a paragraph with some gaps on the WB and stick colour cards on which "some" and "any" are written. Ask the students to come to the board and fill in the gaps. When they finish, check the answers together.

Ask students to add "some" and "any" to the conversation in exercise 2. When they finish, let one pair to read it aloud. Play the recording for the feedback later and drill.

Grammar-Controlled Practice (6-7 minutes) • To give students a context and some information to check if they can apply what they have learnt to the ask and answer questions.

Ask students to sit face to face. Give each group a student A and a student B paper.
