Notes for teachers

Use this test after introducing demonstratives with real classroom objects, pointing to things near and far. It targets typical A1 errors such as 'this cups', 'these is' and 'that are', and short answers like 'Yes, this is' instead of 'Yes, it is'. For follow-up, ask pairs to label objects around the room and ask each other 'What is this?' and 'What are those?'.
