Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Form the correct present-simple verb ending for a given subject, including the third-person -s

  • Rewrite a present-simple sentence in the present continuous tense using the correct auxiliary and -ing verb

  • Identify whether a given sentence uses present simple or present continuous tense

Teaching tips

  • Assign the two present-simple sheets first since they isolate the -s ending before the pronoun-and-verb sheet asks students to supply both parts independently

  • Use the tense-identification page as a quick recognition check before the present-continuous rewriting page, which requires production rather than recognition

  • Pair the frequency-adverb page with a short note on adverb placement, since items place the adverb both mid-sentence and at the start. Pair the sentence practice with a verb tense chart that students can consult as they work.

Skills covered

  • Present-simple verb conjugation — students supply the correct third-person and other subject forms across two fill-in-the-blank pages.

  • Present-continuous sentence construction — students rewrite present-simple prompts as full continuous-tense sentences with the correct auxiliary and -ing verb.

  • Tense recognition — students read finished sentences and identify whether the verb is in the present simple or present continuous.
