Hello my dear students, today we are going to play a game called "bingo", this game consist that in pairs will have a card that have irregular verbs (infinite and past). When a word is taken from the bag, the student must cover on their word card if they have one.
This activity serves to reinforce and review irregular verbs in English, Which will be a topic of assessment for the exams.
Hello my dears students, today we are going to learn about verb to be in past
The past tense of the verb ‘to be’ is ‘was’ for singular subjects (I, he, she, it) and ‘were’ for plural subjects (you, we, they). These forms describe actions or states in the past.
For first person singular and third person singular, use the word was. In all other cases, use were.
For example:
She was a student.
They were doctors.
Asking question with the verb “to be” in past
In order to ask a question, was/were needs to be at the beginning of the sentence:
Was she a student?
Were they doctors?
Using the negative form of “to be” in past simple
In negative sentences, add the adverb not and put it before the word was/were.
Remember that most of the time the contraction (shortened form) is used in negative sentences: wasn’t = was not/weren’t = were not.
Hello my dears students, today we are going to learn about present continuous
The present continuous tense expresses actions happening right now, temporary situations, or future plans, formed by subject + be (am/is/are) + verb-ing. It is used for immediate actions ("She is reading"), ongoing trends ("People are changing"), and fixed arrangements ("We're meeting tomorrow").
Key Grammar Rules & Structures
Positive: Subject + am/is/are + verb-ing (e.g., I am working).
Negative: Subject + am/is/are + not + verb-ing (e.g., She is not eating).
Question: Am/Is/Are + subject + verb-ing? (e.g., Are they coming?).
Spelling Rules for -ing:
Most verbs: Add -ing (e.g., work
working).
Verbs ending in -e: Drop -e, add -ing (e.g., write
writing).
Verbs ending consonant-vowel-consonant: Double final consonant, add -ing (e.g., sit
sitting)
Usage Scenarios
Actions happening now: "I'm watching TV".
Temporary situations/trends: "I'm staying with a friend this week".
Definite future plans: "We're flying to Paris on Monday".
Repetitive actions (with "always/constantly"): "They are always complaining".
Common Mistakes & Notes
Stative Verbs: Generally, state verbs (e.g., know, understand, love, believe, need) are not used in continuous forms (e.g., say "I know," not "I am knowing").
Contractions: In conversation, contractions are common (e.g., I'm, you're, he's, she's, we're, they're)
