It’s Lesson 7.
The expressions we’re dealing with in this lesson are…
They look tough.

Yeah, but the first part “with tools" is the same as the “with vehicles" in Lesson 4, so it’s easy, right?

The expression “(Person) gives (Person) ~" can be introduced without any problem, but when the textbook introduces “(Person) gives ~" with the implied “(I)" omitted… everyone gets confused.

Make sure to emphasize that “I" is implied.
