Evaluate students’ understanding of the present continuous tense structure through their correct application in sentence creation, recognition of time markers in context, and their capability to explain the relationship between the tense and the indicated time frames. Assess students’ proficiency in filling the blanks accurately with present continuous tense, their attention to selecting appropriate temporal adverbials, and their overall comprehension of the exercises through error analysis and corrective feedback.
Purpose These activities help students learn about animal actions using present continuous tense. First, they see examples and figure out the grammar rules. Then, they practise with exercises and finish with a clear summary of sentence types. This way, they get better at using present continuous tense correctly.
