This document provides a summary of a lesson on direct and indirect tenses. It includes: 1) An activity where students take a personal information quiz in groups and identify the tenses used in the questions, such as present perfect, past simple, and future prediction. 2) A matching exercise for students to match types of English language learners to their most probable learning objectives, such as university-bound students mastering subjects to take a masters degree in the USA. 3) Homework assigned from the workbook on grammar exercises and identifying common grammar errors made by native English speakers.
