Teacher Guide
Write out the most commonly used question words and discuss what information they are looking for. For example, a question with 'Who...?' will be answered with a person. A question with 'Where....?' will be answered with a place. And so on.
Use often in the lessons 'Are you...?', 'Do you....?' and 'Have you got....?' and guide the students with how to answer with complete sentences 'I am...', 'I do....' and 'I have got...', so they become familiar with the pairings of questions and answers about themselves.
Teach them the phrase 'I would like...' and in the question form 'Would you like...?'.
For each question on the worksheet read it out loud slowly and clearly. Emphasise the important question word and underline it. Then read out each answer and have the students choose which sounds most natural to them. Show them why one is correct and then have them read the question and answer out loud again.
