- Here is a step-by-step guide to using this lesson plan in the classroom/laboratory. We have suggested these steps as a possible plan of action. You may customize the lesson plan according to your preferences and requirements. Use the following resources to introduce these key terms to your students.
- Use a video lecture that introduces each of the verb tenses through simple timelines and demonstrates their usage.
Here is a video lecture, ‘Using Timelines to Teach Verb Tenses’ by Dr. Dianne Tyers, Advance Consulting for Education (ACE), that introduces the verb tenses in English language.
Use the simple timelines described in the video lecture to understand how each of the tenses-past, present and future- can be used.
The lecture also elaborates on the different sub-types of tenses-simple, continuous (progressive), and perfect- and their usage in English language.
