Explanation
In a safari park wild animals live in large open areas and visitors drive through them by car. Rules: “You must keep the windows closed.” “You mustn’t get out of the car.” We ask what an animal is doing: “Is the elephant walking now?” — “Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t.” A leopard has spots: it lives in grassland, climbs trees and sees well. We do not go close to wild animals and we do not feed them.
Worked examples
In the safari park two lions are lying in the sun. We must keep our seat belts on and we mustn’t get out of the car. The leopard is sitting in a tree now.
— Is the elephant eating now? — No, it isn’t. It’s walking to the river. — Are the zebras running? — Yes, they are.
Class activity
“Safari rules”: in pairs write 3 must and 3 mustn’t rules, then play question–answer “Is the lion sleeping now?”
