Lesson idea
We learn how our amazing skeleton supports and protects us, and we study compound nouns, auxiliary verbs and tag questions.
Lesson vocabulary: framework: a structure supporting something · function: a job something is designed to do · internal: on the inside · perform: to carry out or do · produce: to make · protect: to keep safe · release: to set free · bone marrow: the soft part inside some bones
Key points
- Auxiliary verbs help the main verb to show tense and to form questions.
- When a statement is positive, the tag question is negative. When it is negative, the tag is positive.
- Two words joined with a new meaning are called compound nouns: lifetime.
