Take a look at these examples

​

Analyze them and try to discover the rule.​

​

This is the rule​

​Subject + to be + verbing + object

We use present simple to talk about actions that are happening right now.

​

For example: You are reding this sentence.​

In the next slide you are going to write 3 sentences about these people.

​

Example: A woman is eating an apple​

​

​Look at this picture

​

Negative Sentences

Negative sentences are very similar to affirmative

In order to create a negative sentence you need to add "not" to the verb to be.

​

​She is not playing video games - She isn´t playing video games.

They are not working today - They aren´t working. ​

Open Ended

Write about three things that you are NOT doing right now. For example:

1. I am not teaching my class. :(

2. I am not working today.

3. I am not practicing English today.

Questions

We change the order of the sentence

Remember, for questions we change the order of the sentence.

​You are practicing English - Are you practicing English?​

The first one is an affirmative sentence and the second one is a question.

​

She is speaking English - Is she speaking English?

They are listening to music - Are they listening to music?​
