How to run Stage 2
5 min: Replace names with subject pronouns while keeping the reference clear.
Track who each word means
Engduo Audio: Listen for meaning first. Audio never starts automatically.
Track who she, her, we, and our refer to.
Track the people and the owner of each noun.
Listen to both models. Draw a line from each pronoun or possessive adjective to the correct person or group. Explain one answer using the noun that follows the possessive adjective.
How to run Stage 3
5 min: Match each subject pronoun to its possessive adjective.
Replace repetition and remove ambiguity

How to run Stage 4
6 min: Play both audio models and track every reference.
Introduce three people and their connections
Introduce three real or imagined people. Use at least four subject pronouns and four possessive adjectives. Your partner asks one question when a reference is unclear.
