A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give students page 1 only and keep the explained models for checking.

  1. Point to the bold section of the library answer before learners decide whether to ask where or another question word.
  2. Ask pairs to distinguish journey duration from museum opening time and ticket price.
  3. Use the coat, chair-count and languages answers to review ownership, quantity and ability questions.

Support and extension

Let learners explain why an otherwise correct question fails if it asks for the wrong detail. Follow up with a brief oral exchange using the corrected forms.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
