🥤 Grammar A1-24: would like / I’d like
The polite half of the A1 syllabus, written for learners of about seven to ten and set in a school-fair café and a birthday party. It teaches would like as the polite twin of want, then the shape that decides everything: a thing comes straight after (I’d like a cake) but a doing word brings to with it (I’d like to swim) — the opposite of can, which the material sets side by side so the two never blur. The short form I’d gets a section of its own, including the trap of writing I like when you mean I’d like. Would you like…? is taught as an offer, with a café dialogue you can tap word by word and the two-word answers that go with it. Practice is spread across four multiple-choice sets, a ten-card sorting task and six sentences to repair, and every single answer explains itself in language simpler than the grammar being taught. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the two-roads board move, what to do with a stuck learner and the follow-up topics.
Lesson Plan
- want and would like side by side: the same cake, politer words

Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- would like is the polite way to say want, and it never changes: I / you / he / she / we / they would like
- would like never takes an s: She would like a cake, not She would likes a cake
- Short form: I would like = I’d like (also you’d, he’d, she’d, we’d, they’d)
- A thing comes straight after: I’d like a cake
- A doing word takes to: I’d like to swim — unlike can, which takes the verb alone
- Offers: Would you like…? — answered Yes, please. / No, thank you.
