Share it and build the first one together. Choose who and the verb, then ask the room "to, of or that?" before anyone clicks, then "vote or voting?". A wrong pick turns red and the line under the sentence names the rule. Everyone types the finished sentence in the chat, then a true one about themselves.  ·  ✏️ On paper: circle one in each column, then write your sentence.
