A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Keep the key separate. Model one nearby object and several distant objects, making the speaker's position clear.

  1. Complete Part 1, checking number before deciding distance.
  2. Compare answers and explain the location clues. Where the speaker's position is unclear, discuss more than one possible choice.
  3. Complete Part 2 and read the finished questions and statements aloud. As an optional extension, point to classroom objects and make new examples.

Support and extension

For support, display a two-by-two grid for singular/plural and near/far. Accept other grammatical answers when the context allows, as the key advises: a man near the door or a bag by a window is not automatically near or far from the speaker.

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