The second presentation is about the auxiliary verbs to be and to have, and how they are used with participles to form compound tenses (present and past progressive, and present and past perfect). The third presentation is about the uses of the auxiliary to do. (negatives of simple tenses, question formation, contradiction and emphasis.) The worksheets are at two different levels (3 versions of each). They are both about verb identification. The task is to write out the verb and give its tense. The easy set are all lines from well known nursery rhymes, with the verb in either the present simple or the past simple. The second set is much more difficult, and contains a mix of tenses, and includes compound verbs where the two elements are separated by adverbs or negatives. The answer sheet gives brief explanations in cases where there is potential difficulty.
