A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners the first page and reserve the model-and-grammar page.
- Start by contrasting the five-year residence detail with repeated Rome visits, choosing duration or frequency appropriately.
- Have pairs discuss how a passive library answer differs from the storm subject-question item.
- Use the conditional Japan example and the teacher's request to review questions with more than a simple auxiliary.
Support and extension
Ask for a second natural phrasing where possible. The task checks focused question construction, not whether learners can invent an unrelated grammatically correct question.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
