Objectives & Sequence: This lesson is intended to be used as a preview of Grammar 7-2.
Students work with a partner. Each partner opens the corresponding page.
Students are presented with questions that ask the duration of unfinished situations or actions. Students ask and answer the questions and ensure that their partner's answers follow the correct structure (as provided under each question).
