Grammar CSI · the hunt list

文法鑑識・尋寶清單

Dom's detective activity, with the evidence list and the week each structure came from. Teams score one point per find and two if they can say why the speaker chose it. Send them back to the week if they are stuck.
Dom 的偵探活動,附上證據清單與每個結構出自第幾週。找到一個得一分,能說出「說話的人為什麼這樣選」得兩分。卡住的時候,請他們回去看那一週。

  1. □ 現在進行式(W5) □ 過去簡單式(W6) □ 過去進行式(W7)
  2. □ 現在完成式(W8) □ 過去完成式(W26) □ 未來式三種之一(W28)
  3. □ 情態動詞(W29) □ 比較級或最高級(W30)
  4. □ 條件句(W31) □ 被動語態(W32) □ 關係子句(W33)
  5. Frame: At ______ minutes, ______ says " ______ ." That is ______ , and it is used because ______ .

Why did they choose that structure?

為什麼選這個結構?

The two-point half of the game, and the part that turns labelling into understanding. Every structure is a decision about what the speaker wants to put first, hide, or soften.
遊戲裡兩分的那一半,也是把「貼標籤」變成「懂」的關鍵。每一個結構都是一個決定:說話的人想把什麼放前面、藏起來,或講得軟一點。

  1. 被動語態 → 不想說是誰做的,或那不重要(W32)
  2. 情態動詞 → 想給建議但不想命令,或不確定(W29)
  3. 過去完成式 → 要往回跳,說明更早發生的事(W26)
  4. 條件句 → 談還沒發生、或不可能發生的事(W31)
  5. 關係子句 → 把兩句話併成一句,讓語氣更成熟(W33)

Steal five lines

偷五句話

The most practical thing in the whole week. Not grammar labels — five lines short enough to remember and general enough to reuse next Monday.
整週最實用的一件事。不是文法標籤,而是五句夠短、夠通用、下禮拜一就能用出來的話。

  1. Good ones sound like: "Hang on a second." / "That's not what I meant." / "I'll take care of it."
  2. Bad ones sound like: 只有在那部片裡才說得通的台詞
  3. Line 1: ______ When I would use it: ______
  4. Line 2: ______ Line 3: ______ Line 4: ______ Line 5: ______

Exit ticket · one piece of evidence

出場券・一份證據

One line from the film, labelled, with the reason. The reason is what is being marked.
寫一句電影台詞、貼上標籤、附上理由。評分看的是理由。

  1. Line: " ______ "
  2. Structure: ______  Why: ______

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed. This is the year's grammar review disguised as a hunt, so bring the checklist and let the film do the teaching. Dom's own note is the framing to keep: real English comes first, the label comes second.
不必備課。這是偽裝成尋寶的年度文法總複習,帶著清單進教室,讓電影去教。Dom 自己寫的定位要守住:先有真實的英文,文法標籤是後來才貼上去的。

Optional video / media plug-in影片與媒體(選用)

Optional: replay short dialogue scenes and pause to label structures.
