- Turn grammar into personal talk. After presenting the target grammar, ask students to write three true sentences about their own life (e.g., I’ve never been to…, I’ve just…). Then they read them to a partner, who guesses which one is false. It takes five minutes and gives the grammar real meaning.
- Use Everyday English as a role-play, not just a listening. After listening to the model dialogue, ask pairs to change one detail (place, problem, person) and perform a new version. Give them a one-minute rehearsal and ask a few pairs to present to the class.
