How much does it cost to + (verb)(कितना लगेगा ......)

Step 1: Start with Real-Life Context

  • Show pictures or real objects (bus, train, coffee, mobile recharge, haircut, etc.).
  • Ask students: "Do you pay for these things? How do you ask about the price?"
  • Write "How much does it cost to ___?" on the board.

Step 2: Introduce the Structure

Formula:
🔹 How much does it cost to + (verb)?
🔹 It costs + (amount).

Examples:

  • How much does it cost to buy a coffee? → It costs ₹50.
  • How much does it cost to travel by train to Delhi? → It costs ₹500.
  • How much does it cost to repair a phone? → It costs ₹1,000.

📝 Drill Exercise:

  • Give students half sentences and let them complete them.
    Example:
    • How much does it cost to ______? (Students fill in: eat at a restaurant, ride a taxi, etc.)

Step 3: Role-Playing Activity (Interactive Practice)

Pair Work:

  • Student A: Asks a question.
  • Student B: Responds with an estimated price.
  • Swap roles.

💬 Example Dialogue:
🧑‍🎓 A: How much does it cost to watch a movie?
👩‍🎓 B: It costs around ₹300.

🧑‍🎓 A: How much does it cost to stay in a hotel for one night?
👩‍🎓 B: It costs ₹2,000 per night.


Step 4: Group Activity (Price Guessing Game)

Game Rules:

  1. One student picks a card with an activity (e.g., "travel to Goa by flight").
  2. Others guess the cost using "How much does it cost to + verb?"
  3. The student with the closest guess wins a point.

Step 5: Real-Life Application

  • Survey Task: Ask students to research and note the cost of daily activities in their city (e.g., haircut, pizza, metro ride).
  • Class Discussion: Share findings using the sentence structure.

Step 6: Error Correction & Reinforcement

  • Listen & Correct: Read incorrect sentences and let students find mistakes.
  • Exit Ticket: Before leaving, each student must ask one correct question using the pattern.
