Teaching Tips:
- Clearly show the difference between subject pronouns (I, you, he, she…) and possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her…).
- Always model the language first and have students repeat chorally.
- Encourage students to speak about real things (their own bag, phone, family, etc.) — this makes the lesson much more meaningful.
- Keep corrections gentle — this is one of the most commonly misused grammar points by beginners.
- Use lots of pointing and real classroom objects during the warm-up and speaking activities.
