A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Reserve 25-30 minutes and keep the answer material separate from the two student pages.
- Let learners work through Had I been informed and Not until without first supplying the uninverted versions.
- Use the reporting-passive item to ask what happened before the trial, then compare the participle clause's understood subject.
- After marking, have the learner restate the missing-signature emphasis in a neutral sentence and explain the difference.
