beings have 5 important sense. Then start giving examples with look (Without writing anything, just explain that the eye means look)
For example: The computer looks old You look beautiful today. Give them more examples and ask them for examples as well.
Dont forget to give them vocabulary (adjectives). In the same way explain the others. Then take them outside without notebook and

practice (until they can give examples by themselves) continue with ENOUGH + NOUNS (I want to buy a car but I dont have
enough money) make them realize the difference between using enough + adjectives and enough + nouns. Practice the same as before
first giving them examples then write on the board key words for them to give examples. Dont forget that after practicing in class you
must ask questions outside using both of them and then report in class. Extra Material Grammar Book pg.190
