| Prompt (Q) | Positive (A+) | Negative (A−) | Expansion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask/answer about directions. | I go straight and turn left at the bank. | I don’t go by car; I go by tram. | Add frequency: “I usually go at 8.” |
| Make a plan using “going to”. | I’m going to visit the museum. | I’m not going to stay long. | Add detail: “maybe one hour.” |
Stick to present simple. Build Q → A+ / A−, add one detail (time/place).
