I'll begin with showing key words about Gavin and Nicki's problems they had while accommodating in a hotel I'll mark the word "lift" and ask "What was wrong with the lift/elevator?" I'll point out the conversation on the left and ask "What did Gavin say?" (We'll walk.) I'll write it on WB I'll mark the word "door" and ask "What was the problem about the doors?" I'll point out the conversation on the right and ask "What did Nicki say?" (We're going to see a film.) I'll write it on WB
I'll ask some concept questions to clarify the meaning first: Do both of them talk about the future? (Yes) Did Gavin already plan it before? (no) Did Gavin decide at the moment? (yes) Did Nicki already plan it before? (Yes) Did Gavin decide at the moment? (No) I'll draw a timeline if neccesary. I'll ask the form of the language to the ss: Full form: We will walk. (I'll clear out the pron of we'll and make each ss repeat.) Negative: We won't walk. Full form: We will not walk. Question: Will they walk? Full form: We are going to... (pron of we're going...) Negative: We aren't going to... Full form: We are not going to... Question: Are they going to...?
