Cut the exercise into pieces, divide the students into pairs or groups, and give each pair / group a complete set of all the sentences to match. Distribute one card per student.

The students should walk around the room and find the answer to their sentences. Combinations must be grammatically correct and logical. Remind the students that they should pay attention to punctuation. Once they have found their matches, ask each pair to read their sentence and identify both the timeframe and the tense(s) used. If necessary, emphasize any tricky grammar structures. Step VI Homework Go over the grammar points in this module. Sum up the phrases used to give advice.
