How to use this reference

Start with the instrumental family, then compare progressive, post and post progressive approaches. Read the direct definition, hear the roles of the instruments, try the worksheet and use the duration planner to build an experiment. Treat classification as a question supported by evidence, rather than as a contest over labels.
