Teacher Guide
Use this page to review previous topics: introduction questions, adjectives, simple present verbs, pronouns, the verb 'to be', the present continuous tense, 'was/were', prepositions and telling the time. It's a good chance to do an art and craft activity, or draw a picture together then label the page with the key vocabulary already covered.
