🧭 Explorers: Question Command Centre
A fully interactive A2.2 Kids grammar-and-speaking lesson that builds cross-tense question formation. Learners warm up with four questions, then study a three-part Question Machine: the full set of question words (who, what, where, when, why, how, which, whose, plus how many/old), the helper word by tense (do/does for present, am/is/are for now, did for past, are + going to for plans, with the base-verb rule after did/does), and the Tense Dial that asks about one topic (football) in all four tenses. Ten question-themed words (question, answer, ask, interview, curious, wonder, reply, helper word, tense, topic) appear in a scrollable table and six get review flashcards. The reading shows Team Compass at the Command Centre asking each other across the tenses, with hover-tooltip vocabulary. Practice offers eight fill-in-the-blank items (question words and helper words) with live validation and hints; speaking is an interview-roulette task with five prompts and a model cross-tense dialogue; the writing task asks learners to write four family questions, one per tense, in 30-50 words; and an eight-question quiz mixes question formation with two reading-comprehension questions, with a progress bar, explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
