Lesson 47
Lesson 47Step 1 Revision
Revise the forms of the Simple Past Tense learnt so far（did, went, had） by asking individual Ss What time did you have breakfast/lunch/dinner yesterday? What time did you go to school/ home/to bed? Help the Ss to answer. Note these answers on the Bb and ask about them: What time did he/she…?
Practise the question forms, then get the Ss to ask and answer in pairs.
Step 2 Presentation
Show a picture of someone swimming and say What did LiLei do yesterday? He went swimming. Repeat for Jim（did his homework）and Wei Hua（went shopping）. Ask randomly What did Li Lei/Jim/Wei Hua do yesterday? Help the Ss to answer.
Present Did Li Lei play football yesterday? No, he didn't. Did he go fishing? Yes, he did. Ask similar questions to elicit No, he/she didn't. Yes, he/she did. Pay attention to the pronunciation of didn't/'didn't/.
Ask individual Ss Did you play basketball（etc）yesterday? to practise No, I didn't. Yes, I did. Note that for all persons the past form of the action verb remains the same.
Step 3 Practice
Ask a student to come to the front. The class must ask as many questions as possible to find out what the student did yesterday.
Give some examples: Did you eat bread yesterday? Did you buy any fruit yesterday? Help the student to answer Yes, I did. No, I didn't. Say I can't remember! if necessary.
Then Ss ask and answer in pairs about themselves.
