Guided Text Practice
7 min
Questions to the class:
Ask students to read the short text: “By 6 p.m., the bus will have arrived at the terminal. At 6 p.m., the drivers will be checking the vehicles for the next journey.”.
Ask: “Which action will be completed by 6 p.m.?”.
Ask: “What will the drivers be doing at 6 p.m.?”.
Ask students to identify the time expressions that support their answers.
Answers:
The bus will have arrived at the terminal.
The drivers will be checking the vehicles.
“By 6 p.m.” signals completion before that time; “at 6 p.m.” identifies an action in progress at that time.
