The Medicine Label

The little label on a medicine bottle is full of orders: how many, how often, with food or not. Read Ana's label, then say what she has to do.

For the teacher · In class

project the label and ask — How many tablets? When? Can she drive? Answers go in the chat; the have-to sentences are said out loud.

★ Read the label

Read Ana's label. Lunaril is not a real medicine: we invented it for practice.

★★ Say the orders

The label gives orders. Say the whole sentence with have to, out loud, then tap to check.

  1. Take 2 tablets
  2. twice a day
  3. with food
  4. DO NOT DRIVE

Remember How Strong Is It? from Class 8: have to is the top of the ladder. A label is not advice — it is an order. And can't means: not allowed.

★★★ Check yourself

Read the label again and type the answers.
