Summary

We’re looking at the past progressive tense and the simple past tense.

  1. Students receive two groups of example sentences. They ponder why they were placed into those two categories.
  2. We add three *ungrouped* examples. Now students decide which groups those examples belong in.
  3. We reveal the correct groupings then discuss the differences between the two groups. Group A features the past progressive tense and Group B features simple past tense. We close with a practice worksheet.
