A fully-adaptable PowerPoint on the present continuous tense. Suitable for high-ability KS3, mid-to high ability KS4, and intermediate ESOL. Suitable for home-learning.
The PowerPoint introduces the student to six different ways of using the present continuous tense: basic sentence; actions happening now; actions happening in the near future; planned future actions; questions; repeated events
Includes:
*a brief recap of pronoun/verb (‘to be’) agreement and the forming of gerunds
*an explanation of each use of the present continuous, with an example
*challenge exercise one which all students should complete to show they
understand how to form the present continuous
*challenge exercises two-six which students can work through, or choose from to show different uses of the present continuous tense
*sample answers after each exercise
Teachers can choose to teach all or some of the functions of the present continuous tense , dipping in or out, or selecting as necessary.
Could be used as a series of starter activities or as a longer grammar lesson. Could also be set remotely for home-learning as an independent study exercise
The PowerPoint is not definitive, but offers a clear approach to understanding the different uses of the present continuous.
