In our Grade 6 class, we explored the sentence pattern "What do you do after school?"—a common structure used to inquire about someone's activities following the school day. This pattern follows the structure:
WH + auxiliary verb (do/does) + subject + base verb + complement?
For example: WH: What; Auxiliary verb: do; Subject: you; Base verb: do; Complement: after school
By incorporating these methods, students can gain a better understanding of sentence structures and improve their ability to express themselves in English.
