Then calls randomly students to write their answers on the board. -T uses the model sentence for the clarification of form. whereas; 1. tell where the hearer is the direct object subject + verb (past simple) + pronoun + to/ that clause 2. say where the hearer is not the direct object subject + verb (past simple) + to/ that clause 3. rule number 2 but including the hearer subject + verb (past simple) + to direct object + to/ that clause
