T asks students concept checking questions such as “My weekend, Is it in the present or past? Is there an action?”. She writes on the board “I ____ at home. Mustafa and Filiz ____ there. Selin _____ there.” and elicits the form. “She asks “Do I use was/were with singulars or plurals?” To elicit the question form, T shows the pictures again and elicits the question form. She writes “____ Selin at home? Where ___ she?” on the board. Teacher drills the sentences chorally and individually.
