This document provides a lesson on using present continuous tense to describe what is happening in a park. It includes vocabulary related to sports, examples of affirmative, negative and interrogative present continuous forms, and sentences describing activities different family members are doing in the park, such as Carla skating, Tomas riding his bicycle, and Grandma Lauren preparing food. Students then practice using present continuous by identifying if descriptions of a park match what someone named Andrew said was happening there.
