This lesson plan on the present continuous tense should be used to teach elementary-level students a basic understanding of how to use verbs in the present simple form. This lesson will require students to speak, read, listen and spell in English but not at a particularly advanced level. In any case, it is suitable for group or individual classes. It is a very fun lesson that can be used for concept checking and test review.
