📰 Builders: Already & Yet
A fully interactive B1.1 teens grammar lesson that continues the JAY module by contrasting already and yet with the present perfect. Students begin with four warm-up questions about chores and surprises, then study the language in three clear blocks: already (done sooner than expected, placed in the middle after have/has, with an 'already signals' panel), yet (up to now, used in questions and negatives, placed at the end), and Position control (a rules table that fixes the golden rule — already in the middle, yet at the end). Ten chore-and-expectation words (already, yet, chore, tidy, finish, expect, task, still, sooner, done) appear in a scrollable table with B1 definitions and examples, and six are revised as flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Saturday checklist (about 160 words) in which Priya checks jobs before film night: Marco has already set up the chairs, Aylin has already made the posters, but nobody has tested the speakers yet — with seven key words highlighted on hover. Practice includes eight contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions testing already/yet position, negatives, questions and participles, with live validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five brag-and-confess prompts and a model six-line checklist dialogue; a guided 40-70 word writing task combining one already-brag and one yet-confession, with a live word counter and auto-save; and a full eight-question multiple-choice quiz with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
