Before the lesson
Allow 25-30 minutes for the student pages and hold back the teacher key.
- Give learners time to read the damage-assessment context before deciding who performed the action.
- Review No sooner and Not until together, asking learners to reconstruct neutral versions after marking.
- 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.
