This document outlines the agenda and content covered for a grammar class. It discusses the past progressive tense, including its form, use, and similarities and differences from the present continuous tense. Examples are provided to practice using when and while to describe interrupted or simultaneous actions. Students complete exercises identifying correct usage of when and while in sentences. The class reviews handouts on grammar forms and functions, and plays an editing game to practice verb forms. Homework is assigned.
