advance how many mistakes there are in each sentence. With their
help, correct them. There are some examples of possible sentences
in the box, in order of difficulty, together with the corrected
versions. Or, better, use (anonymous!) examples taken from their
own written work.

Note: It is important to stress the fact that the sentences initially
presented are unacceptable, and to make corrections on the board
so that the students are left with the image of the correct sentences
at the end of the activity.
