Suggested Teaching Method.

These cards practice Present Simple questions, focusing on How. The cards can be used
to stimulate discussion, and personalize the target structure.

This is good practice for more complex Present Simple questions for routines. The
cards concentrate on the following specific uses of 'How':
How often do you...
How well do you...
How good are you at
How much time do you spend + ing...

Students should work in groups of two or three.

Give students one pack of shuffled cards per group.

A student takes a card and asks the question to another person in the group. Follow
up questions should be encouraged, allowing further practice of the present simple.

The teacher should monitor, making a note of any errors, but not joining in/correcting.
When the activity draws to a close, write some of the errors on the board, and
encourage group correction.
