The Present Continuous

This resource has 22 Power Point slides containing varied activities, text and visual aids to practise the gerunds and the present continuous in Spanish. The activities are mostly grammar-based. Some can be used to practise speaking in short dialogues, and there is also a listening task with its transcription. Solutions to all activities are included.

The main outcome is to learn, or revise, the uses of the gerunds and the present continuous. This resource is, thus, ideal for Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 students.

The slides are carefully designed, user-friendly and visually attractive. The tasks are very interactive and many lend themselves well to pair work, both in person and online. The teacher may use the visual aids and text boxes in each slide to modify the tasks or add new ones as they see fit.
