METHODOLOGY

After giving the recap of past simple students will be explained with the topic of past continuous with few examples. Late they will
do paae no. 35 of the book.

Activity:

 Explain to students that verb tenses can do more than tell when an action happened; they can
 also help you to understand the order in which the action happened.
 Write on the board: We wrote the answer while our teacher was asking the questions.
 The two verbs in this sentence are in two different tenses, the simple past (wrote) and the past
continuous(was asking)
 The fact that both tenses are past tenses tells us that the action has already taken place.
 We can also see that one action was completed (in the simple past) while the other action was
going on ( the past continuous)

One more example: because John finished first, he was watching television while everyone else was
doing chores.
