Practice

15 minutes

Watch for:
- Review = diagnostico, nao prova. O objetivo e IDENTIFICAR gaps, nao dar nota.
- MC <6/8 → dedicar tempo extra a pratica antes de seguir para L14.
- Possessive 's vs 'is': 'He's = He IS' vs 'Maria's = de Maria'. Se aluno confundir, reforcar com contexto.
- Speaking (Ex4): se o aluno mostrar foto no celular, excelente — pratica com contexto real.
- Irregular plurals (bonus oral apos Ex2): women, children, men, people — so esses 4 nesta fase.
- Rafael + Priya: perfis com vocab de familia + adjetivos + possessivos. Explorar "his/her" (his son, her husband).

Target: They're in my ___. / They're on the ___.

Expected answer: In my bag.

Tip: Recycle 'keys' (L08) + plural ('they're not it's' — chave singular vs keys plural). Recycle prepositions in/on/under from earlier.

3. How old is your best friend?

Follow-up: Older or younger than you?

Target: She's ___ years old. He's ___.
