Teacher Guide
This continues the theme of the previous worksheets: building sentences that use the present continuous form of simple verbs. Revise matching the form of the verb 'to be' to the pronoun according to the table provided. Give plenty of examples and encourage the students to form their own similar examples.
Remind the students that we use the present continuous form to describe actions that are happening right now, in this moment.
Teach that verbs that end in 'e' will lose the 'e' when the 'ing' is added.
After completing the sentences, have the students read the sentences out loud. They can they describe the pictures using the same sentence structure.
