In fact, her neighbor, Mr. Smith, had told her about the bad weather approaching. Ask Ss: -Which verb(s) refer to one single action in the past, that was not repeated? -Which verb(s) refer to one single action which happened some time in the past before another past event? -Which verb(s) refer to a continuous/repeated action in the past before past? Elicit the meaning. Concept check the understanding. Ex.1 (Grammar) P. 46. Focus on form, board it. Focus on pronunciation:Ex. 1 (pronunciation), P. 47. Follow the instruction set out in the CB.
