A question before practising

Keep the outside rays fixed and move an inside ray. Compare the two adjacent angles with their sum, then put the moving ray at the bisector.

Organise the key idea

Add adjacent angles only when the stated ray lies inside the whole angle. A bisector gives equal halves; complements total 90° and supplements total 180°.
