# Day 186 · What happened in one use?

**Purpose:** connect a small check question with actual actor/action/result or an honest unperformed plan. [C11](../contexts/C11.html)/[C12](../contexts/C12.html), [H06](../home/H06.html)/[X06](../projects/X06.html).

1. Begin with available own work or a new start. Ask, “What would you like to find out when somebody begins?” Save the question before the model.
2. Agree one locally suitable action, operator and stopping point. A private self-use or exact adult-directed action is enough; no peer audience or repeated-try quota.
3. Use one route and keep the actual event if it occurs. A helper's faithful report is attributed; a drawing of an event is a proposal unless an actual event is recorded.
4. After capture, read [C11](../contexts/C11.html)'s one-event account beside [C12](../contexts/C12.html)'s explicitly unperformed check. Ask what each actually supplies.
5. Keep preference separately from function. “I like the wide space” can stand without proving that everybody can start there.
6. Record the question, actor, what was actually seen/reported and what remains unknown. If no check occurs, retain the useful plan with no after-result invented.

**Routes:** use an own ready sheet for one ordinary wanted mark and tell what happened; direct a willing helper's exact suitable start action and retain their report; draw an intended check and leave the after space empty. Each supports honest evaluation without a promised success.

**Notice/next teaching:** one observed event, attributed report or unperformed plan. Teach the missing distinction with an unrelated start-sheet account; absence of a result line alone means unknown, not definitely no action.
