A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Allow 25-30 minutes for the student pages and hold back the teacher key.

  1. Give learners time to read the damage-assessment context before deciding who performed the action.
  2. Review No sooner and Not until together, asking learners to reconstruct neutral versions after marking.
  3. Use the lawyer's recommendation and the customer-complaint preference to compare formal that-clauses with hypothetical past forms.

Support and extension

Select errors that recur in the learner's own writing for follow-up. The paper supplies evidence about sampled targets, not a validated C1 cut score.

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