Learning Objectives

Indicator: B5.1.8.1.1 - Use the various forms of “do”, “be”, “have”, appropriately in questions and responses

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Form Yes/No questions correctly using the various forms of “do”, “be”, and “have”.
Give short answers to Yes/No questions using the same auxiliary verb found in the question (e.g. “Yes, I do.” / “No, she doesn’t.”).
Ask a partner a series of questions using at least two different forms of “do”, “be”, or “have” and respond correctly to their partner’s questions.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

- Revise Wh and Yes/No questions by having learners respond to several of such questions.
- Use the various forms of "do" to construct sentences as learners listen to you. e. g. Do you like lots of pepper? Does he teach here? Did we sleep there?
- Answer each question yourself.
- Ask the questions again and have learners give the answer.
- In pairs, learners ask questions for their partners to answer.
- Repeat the procedure to introduce the various forms of "be" (is, am, are etc.) and "have" (has, have, had). The document prints a further bullet under this indicator with no text beside it; it is dropped here.
