I elicit grammatical names of a sentence components on the board, using realia (auxiliary cable) to help ss what role "don't" plays in negative and interrogative sentences in present simple. (auxiliary elicitation: does it play the audio? does it help us to actually hear sounds? auxiliary verbs help us to make routines actions _ or ?) table is on the board

Clarification (5-7 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

CCQs: do we use don't after the verb?/ is do not = don't/ do we use don't for she/he/it subjects?
