Notes for teachers

Use this test after teaching numbers, dates and clock times, or as a diagnostic at the start of a beginner course. It targets common errors such as 'fourty', 'Wensday', cardinal instead of ordinal numbers in dates, confusing 'past' and 'to', and mixing up in/on/at. As a follow-up, ask learners to say their own birthday aloud and describe their daily routine with times.
