/>BRING/TAKE<br />■HOW TO TEACH...1<br />-It's important to have them get used to using them.

And "tell" is normally used to recognize or differentiate from one to another.<br /><br />CAN'T TELL...You know they are different, but don't know how different.<br /><br />DON'T KNOW...You don't really know that they are different.  You think they might be the same.<br /><br />EX.<br />　I can tell how old he is because of the things that he talks about.<br />　I want you to tell us how you can tell the difference between cabbage and lettuce.<br />　I can't tell the difference between KATSUYA and TAKUYA.(You know they are different, but don't know how different.)<br />　I don't know the difference between KATSUYA and TAKUYA.(You don't really know that they are different.  You think they might be the same.)<br />　Some Japanese don't know the difference between "house" and "home", and some Americans can't tell the difference between "house" and "home".<br /><br />How you teach:<br />1.

Make sure you tell them you will go though "Figure out" more in detail later.<br /><br />FIGURE OUT...Understand after giving some thoughts(少し考えて解る)<br />TELL...Recognize just by looking at it(見れば判る)<br /><br />　XX. I gave copies of summary that I had made in advance, so I thought the students could figure out what was going to be on the test.<br /><br />2.After you go through the following examples, have them make questions "How can(do) you tell the difference between...and...?" and have them ask each other.<br /><br />　A.

I want to be able to do them both.<br />I'm practicing Kendo and English.  I want to be able to handle them both.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />■ASK<br />ASK FOR *NOUN*(SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT)...～を(くれるように)頼む<br />ASK TO *VERB*...～をするように頼む<br /><br />The first thing that you should teach is that the verb "ASK" means not only to question somebody, but to make a request of or for something.<br /><br />And then, tell them that "ASK FOR" comes with a NOUN*(something that you want), and "ASK TO" comes with a VERB(something that you want him/her to get done)<br /><br />After that, you have them translate Japanese sentences to English.<br />　I asked the employee for Adidas when I was at the shoe store.<br />　I asked my mother for money the day before I had a field trip.<br />　I asked my friend to help me do my homework when my part-time job was busy.<br />　When I went to the post office, I asked the clerk to send this package(parcel) to my Auntie in Kaogoshima.<br />　When I was a highschool student, I used to ask my father for money.<br /><br />After they've gotten the idea of it, have your them write a few questions and ask each other, such as:<br />　Q. What would you ask for if you could have anything you wanted for your birthday?<br />　A. If I could have anything I wanted for my birthday, I would ask for a new computer.<br /><br />　Q.
