A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give learners page 1 and keep the teacher key on page 2 separate. Personal answers in the key are examples, not required responses.

  1. Complete the routine questions about travel, study and eating, then the current-activity questions.
  2. Write answers matching usual habits, today, now and this week.
  3. Reorder the study-time, current-action and friend's-home questions.

Support and extension

Contrast a normal week with this week. Check third-person -s in answers about a friend, while continuous forms need be.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
