- Yesterday started ______.
- First, I ______.
- Then I ______.

Tell the story and respond
Tell the story without reading full sentences. Your partner asks one Did you…? question and one What happened…? question.
Story language: yesterday · last night · first · then · after that · finally · in the end
Final practice: Tell a clear story about yesterday
Task: Tell a connected six-sentence story with at least three past verbs and three sequence markers. Answer one did question and one open follow-up from your partner.
Success: The listener can follow the story shape, past forms remain clear, and the learner answers both follow-ups without teacher-supplied sentences.
