Present Perfect Continuous Tense – Free ESL Lesson Plan

This PowerPoint can be used to teach or revise the present simple or present continuous, and is specifically focused on when we use these two tenses. It is absolutely necessary that the teacher verbally explains the content of each slide and clarifies any doubts. The last slide includes two links for further practice. 

Present Simple VS Present Continuous

On this powerpoint presentation, the students had been already introduced the past simple and how to tell a date.  Therefore, these slides are useful in the way that the teacher can encourage learners to provide the use of prepositions of time and place such as in, on and at when referring to a point, period or year in time. This presentation can also help Ss to improve their fluency and pronunciation.
