Direct attention to the Grammar box.
Call on individual students to read the questions and
answers to the class. Make sure they pronounce the
contractions correctly.
Write the following on the board:
1. is she? Shes my sister.
2. is her name? Her name is Jane.
3. are they? Theyre 16 and 17.
Point to each blank and ask What, Who, or Howold?
(1. Who, 2. What, 3. How old)
Point out that the question words and verbs, Howold is
and Howold are, cannot be contracted.
Language and culture
In English-speaking cultures, it can be rude to ask adults
their age directly.
The question How old is she? may be answered She is
twenty years old, She is twenty, or Twenty; all are correct
answers.
In rapid speech (but not in writing), the adjective old and
the verb be are often contracted when used with nouns
and proper nouns in the question How old is . . . ?; for
example, How olds your sister? In writing, use the full form.
