Directions. Need help

Hi teachers,

We use these questions and answers to ask and answer about the name of an object or an animal in singular and plural.

Information to consider

The questions and answers are:

What is this this? It is a book.

What are these? They are books.

What is this? It is a cat.

What are these? They are cats.

My question is: what can I write instead of 'ask and answer' without changing the meaning of the directionts?

Because to say 'ask and answer' sounds too redundant, doesn't it?

Thanks in advance

Well, if your student can understand that terminology, yes. I doubt that the student who can comprehend 'exists at a definite position' needs to learn 'There's a book on the table', however.
