[A standard focus on form sheet. Perhaps a little bit pedantic, but
the assumption is that if I was going to do a boring focus on form
lesson, than the least I could do was make it more interactive instead
of just giving the students the structure. Technically the object
becomes the subject in a passive sentence, but I'm misusing the terms
slightly in order to avoid confusing the students.
