This is a complete lesson (PowerPoint Presentation) teaching the difference between when to use the quantifiers ‘much’, ‘many’ and ‘lots of’/ ‘a lot of’. The PowerPoint also covers the difference between countable and uncountable nouns. We use ‘much’ and ‘many’ to ask questions (e.g. How many apples is there? How much milk is there? and to make negative statements (e.g. There aren’t many apples. There isn’t much milk.) whereas we use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements (e.g. There are lots of apples. There is lots of milk.). We use ‘much’ to ask questions and make negative statements about uncountable nouns. We use ‘many’ to ask questions and make negative statements about countable nouns. We use ‘lots of’ or ‘a lot of’ to make positive statements about both countable and uncountable nouns. Countable nouns are nouns that we make plural and that we can count where as uncountable nouns are nouns that we don’t make plural and which we measure instead of count.

A full lesson presentation teaching what the past simple tense is, why we use it and how to write in the past simple tense. The past simple tense is used to talk about things that have already happened. It is used especially for describing things that we know when happened. All clauses (and so sentences) must have a verb. Verbs tell us the tense of a clause. We distinguish between regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs are verbs which follow a rule to change to past simple (we add the suffix -ed to these words). Irregular verbs do not follow a rule to change to their past tense form.

A full lesson presentation teaching how to follow the subject-verb agreement rule to write in the present simple tense correctly. The present simple tense is used to talk about our habits and routines and to make statements about general truths. When we use the present simple tense, we need to make sure our subjects and verbs agree with each other. The subject of a sentence is the one that does the verb. If the subject is singular, we add an ‘s’ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense. If the subject is plural, we do not add an ‘s’ to the end of the verb when using the present simple tense. The lesson presentation (PowerPoint) includes: √ Learning objective √ Three success criteria √ Starter activity √ Review of relevant prior learning (identify the subjects & verbs activity) √ Teaching input information slides with examples √ Quick review/ mini plenary activity √ Whole class consolidation activities (whiteboard work) √ Group/ paired consolidation activities √ Differentiated independent task (three levels) √ Extension activity √ Apply the learning with reading and writing activities √ All answer slides √ Plenary activity LO: To ensure the subject and verb agree in sentences in the present simple tense Success Criteria: I know that we use the present simple tense to talk about general truths and to describe habits and routines. I understand that when we use the present simple tense, we must ensure our subjects and verbs agree with each other. I can construct sentences in the present simple tense which follow the subject-verb agreement rule correctly.
