A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Review I / you / we / they versus he / she / it. Keep the key separate and model work / works and go / goes.

  1. Complete Part 1 using the subject to choose the verb form.
  2. Compare answers and review spelling in watches, finishes, cries and plays.
  3. Complete Part 2 and read the sentences aloud. Optionally change a subject and adjust its verb, then write a personal routine.

Support and extension

For support, sort subjects into two groups before filling gaps. Contrast consonant + y in cries with vowel + y in plays. Check plural subjects such as buses carefully. An extension can compare two people's routines; personal sentences have no fixed answer.

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