Hey everyone, John from Cool English with a new grammar activity this week. A comprehensive explainer, review, and test for the Past Continuous Tense. I use it as an introduction for Basic groups or a review for Intermediate to Advanced groups.
Learn – diagrams explaining the structure, usage, and examples.
Multiple Choice – high-quality pictures with fill-in-the-blank phrases and multiple-choice options to click.
Open Questions – conversation questions designed to force students to use the past continuous tense.
Form the Phrase – give students a mixed-up phrase that they must put in the correct order and either in the positive, negative, or interrogative form.
3 Options – students are given either the question, affirmative or negative form of a phrase, and must create the other two.
Short Story – a short cloze activity where students put the verbs into either the simple past or past continuous form.
Video Clips – short clips from TV shows or movies of people using the past continuous. Students need to repeat the phrases or questions in the videos.
Test – a ten-question auto-correcting test with multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.
I hope you enjoy this week’s new activity, and please check back next week for more new things on coolenglish.net.
John
