Editor's Notes
- This presentation will cover a review of some of the past tenses – simple past, past progressive, and past perfect. The presentation can be used separately or alongside the Student’s Book. It is intended to offer additional content support to the content and activities provided in the Student’s Book. These slides will occupy 10–20 minutes of class time depending on how fast you move through the slides.
- Grammar noticing: Get the students to look at the slide as a whole class. Look at what the speakers are saying and ask the questions in the box. This will help activate your students’ awareness about the grammar form. Answers: 1 simple past 2 simple past 3 Speaker B should use the past progressive in the sentence My boyfriend, John, was working here, too, at that time. (This is because John’s situation of employment started before the woman’s arrival in the past and continued until at least her arrival. It is unclear whether John continued to work there after her arrival or not.)
- Grammar noticing: Students work in pairs or small groups to identify the tenses used in the examples. They should recognize these tenses from previous study, so this activity is just to check that students can confidently name the tenses. They don’t need to discuss why different tenses are being used at this stage.
- Grammar noticing: Students should continue to review examples of the simple past, past progressive, and past perfect by spending a couple of minutes reading these sentences to themselves and identifying each tense used.
- Grammar noticing: Students should work in pairs or small groups to discuss the question in order to recognize the main differences between the three past tenses reviewed and find out about the form and function of the past tenses. The key behind the past tenses is identifying when the actions took place, as highlighted in the TIP boxes. Further information about form and function will be given in the next slides.
- Grammar presentation – Form: Students should spend a few minutes reading the information in the table. These sentences provide examples of the grammar forms being used. Remind the students that the simple past requires did in the question form. Students could practice making one affirmative sentence, one negative sentence, and one question to add to the examples in the table.
- Grammar presentation – Function: This slide should confirm the main rules for using the simple past, past progressive, and past perfect. The emphasis is on deciding when the event occurred. If one event occurred before another, then it is a signal that different tenses need to be used. Answers: 1 past perfect 2 past progressive 3 simple past
- Grammar practice: Students should work in pairs or small groups to decide which past verb forms are correct and try to explain why it is used. Answers: was, moved, started, arrived, was, had watched, arrived, was watching
- Grammar practice: Students work in pairs or small groups to ask each other questions about what they were doing at different times in the past. Students respond using the different tenses from this presentation. Monitor their conversations for the correct use of the past tenses. Ask different students to share with the class something interesting they learned about their partners.
- Grammar wrap-up: Students consolidate their understanding of the differences in past tense usage by matching the sentence halves to complete the rules. Answers: 1 c 2 a 3 b
