A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Print the student page; reserve page 2 for checking alternatives.
- Demonstrate how I live becomes a question with you, then an answer with I.
- Let learners attempt the waiting and knowing items independently before comparing the auxiliary and verb form.
- During feedback, ask why January needs since while twenty minutes needs for; discuss the alternatives for work.
Support and extension
Finish with two true questions about the class. Do not mark a natural live/work alternative wrong merely because it differs from the first model.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
