LANGUAGE NOTE In present simple questions, we use do for first and second persons: Do you collect comics? Where do they live?
But we use does for he/she/it: Where does he live? NOT Where do he live?
In question forms, we do not add -s to the main verb in the he/she/it form: Does he live in London? NOT
Does he lives in London?
Exercise 2
• Remind students to check the subject of the question carefully before they complete the question.
• Once students have finished, ask individual students to read out their completed sentences to check answers.

Exercise 3
• Students ask and answer in pairs. In a stronger class, tell them that they can invent information for the answers if they like, as long as the questions and answers are formed correctly.

• Play the CD. Students listen and check their answers.
• If you want to extend the activity, ask students to repeat the questions and answers in pairs.
