Key points

  • On Teacher’s Day, pupils can prepare a surprise for their teacher.
  • Party things: balloons, ribbons, scissors, glue, a poster, flowers, a card.
  • Useful phrases: Don’t forget! Don’t worry!
  • In the simple past, we ask questions with Did and make negatives with didn’t.
  • After did and didn’t, the verb is in the base form.
