🧩 Grammar A1-8: Basic word order

The material builds one picture and drills it hard: three numbered boxes (1 who · 2 does · 3 what), a table where the doing word is always in the middle column, tap-and-repeat cards where the doing word is the big word on every card, and a fourth box for when and where that always waits at the end. Questions are taught as a movement, not a rule: with am / is / are / can the first two boxes swap, and with other doing words the helper Do or Does simply jumps in front while everything else stays still. Practice runs across four sets — eight easy items, ten cards sorted into the who box and the doing box, six on question order, and eight longer sentences with time words — plus six errors to repair. Every answer explains itself in words simpler than the grammar being taught. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the standing-in-the-boxes board move, help for a stuck learner and the follow-up topics.
