Design, in full detail, a grammar lesson of approximately one hour that focuses on one particular grammatical structure and gives attention to both form, meaning, and use.

You need to design a detailed one-hour grammar lesson focusing on a specific grammatical structure.
The lesson must address form, meaning, and use of the grammatical structure.
It should be designed for a specific teaching context (e.g., Singaporean classroom or another familiar context).
You must justify your approach with theoretical support from course readings and external sources.

Pick a specific grammatical structure (e.g., past perfect, relative clauses, conditionals, modal verbs).
Ensure it’s appropriate for your target students in terms of difficulty and relevance.

Write a short description including:

Context: ESL/EFL setting.
Institution: School/institute name (real or hypothetical).
Course/Level: e.g., Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.
Students: Age, proficiency level, first language background, learning goals.
Overall Course Goals: e.g., Improving conversational fluency, preparing for an exam.

Write clear learning objectives (e.g., “Students will accurately use WH-questions in conversations”).
List materials (e.g., worksheets, multimedia resources).
Design activities in a structured sequence:
- Introduction: Explain the grammar topic with examples.
- Explicit/Implicit Focus on Form: Deductive or inductive teaching.
- Communicative Task: An activity where students use the grammar structure in conversation.
- Feedback and Wrap-Up.

Identify the teaching method used (e.g., Communicative Language Teaching, Task-Based Learning).
Explain how the grammar is presented (focus on form, focus on meaning, focus on formS).
Provide academic citations (course readings, external sources) to support your methodology.
Discuss how the lesson is communicative and provides real-life application of the grammar.
