S/N	STEPS	TEACHER’S ACTIVITY	LEARNERS ACTIVITY

Wh- questions start with where, when, why, what Examples a. Where are they? b. What do you want? 2. Echo questions are sentences that are declarative but with a rising intonation. Examples a. You will go with me? b. They will come here? 3. Tag questions Examples a. You will go, won’t you? b. You can type, can’t you?	Learners observe, learn and participate
2	EXPLICIT INSTRUCTION/TEACHER MODELLING	The teacher further outlines the rules to observe when forming tag questions Rules to observe when forming tag questions 1. If the statement is positive, the tag is negative Examples a. I saw you, didn’t I? b. They will go, won’t they? 2. If the statement is negative, the tag is positive. Examples a. They couldn’t defeat us, could they? b. There wasn’t any delay, was there? 3. If the statement is in the present tense, the tag is also in the present. Examples a. He is early this morning, isn’t he? b. He lives at the end of the road, doesn’t he? 4. If the statement is in the past tense, the tag is also in the past tense Examples a. They were not serious, were they? b. You knew that before, didn’t you? 5. In the tag, subject and auxiliary(helping) verb are inverted Examples a. You are a liar, aren’t you? b. It could be done, couldn’t it? 6. If the subject is a noun, change it to a pronoun in the tag. Examples a. Kabirat has just left, hasn’t she? b. My Lokose drinks too much, doesn’t he? 7. If the verb has no auxiliary, use an appropriate do verb e.g do, did, does Examples a. I love my wife, don’t I? b. They went out just now, didn’t they?	Learners observe, learn and participate
