Step 1 • First, write down the sentence on the board: Ex: The presidentphoned the Queen Verb. Subject Object

Step 2 • Then, erase the subject president and substitute someone for it. Ex: Someone phoned the Queen.  Who phoned the Queen?

Next, write the question and the answer on the board. Ex: Someone phoned the Queen.  Who phoned the Queen? (The president phoned the Queen.)

Then we rub out the Queen, substituting someone. Ex:The president phoned the Queen.  The president phoned someone. (The president phoned who/whom.)  Who/whomdid the president phone?

Then we elicit the question and its answer and write them on the board. Ex: Someone phoned the Queen. Who phoned the Queen? --- The president. Ex: The president phoned someone. Who did the president phone? --- The Queen.
