Screen share slide with the structures that I will be using for Clarification. These sentences are in the context of a dialogue. The context will be, imagine that exactly the day I am having dinner with my family my boss wants to talk to me. Form will be highlighted in a different colour.

It is a little introduction to form but I do not get into detail at this point. A: Is 7 good for you ? Or will you and your family be eating dinner? B: 7 is perfect, we will have finished dinner by then. **** A: Is 7 good for you ? Or will you and your family be eating dinner? B: 9 pm will be better. We will be having dinner at 7 pm
