Summary
We’re looking at the past progressive tense and the simple past tense.
- Students receive two groups of example sentences. They ponder why they were placed into those two categories.
- We add three *ungrouped* examples. Now students decide which groups those examples belong in.
- 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.
