Schedule for Teaching Tenses
Day Seven - part Eight: Practice All the Tenses
- Go over the formulas for all the verb tenses [simple, continuous, perfect, perfect continuous]
- Next show students how the continuous, perfect, & perfect continuous tenses can be boiled down into just three basic formulas:
- the continuous/progressive = "be" + verb + ing
- the perfect = "have" + past participle[p.p.]
- the perfect continuous/progressive = "have" + been + verb + ing
- Begin a story in the past and ask students to work with a partner to continue the story through the past, into the present, and finishing in the future. Decide how many times you want them to use in their story.
