Two forms of the present tense
(To be viewed as slide show)
Week 6 IT 17Two forms of the present tense
• This teacher led activity introduces the present continuous (is riding) with ‘people words’
(rider).
• The child’s task is to write:
1. the name of the person who performs the action
2. the present continuous form of each given verb.
• The difficulty for the children is that there are two forms of present in English. The present continuous is used when people are doing something “now” (e.g. ‘She is riding now’). The simple present is used when people do something regularly, often, usually (e.g. ‘She rides every day’).
• The next slide is the answer sheet for each child to complete as they watch the IT presentation. These should be printed and distributed to the children before you start.
• A pencil appears on the initial slides. This is the cue for the children to write their answers.
• A prompt of ‘Why?’ appears. This is the cue for discussion about the correct and incorrect answers. They then receive feedback on the screen.
