A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Prepare only the two student pages for the test and retain the answer commentary.

  1. Give an independent attempt, preserving the contrast between a selected answer and a written response.
  2. Use the present-continuous opening and the paired short answer to see whether learners can produce the auxiliary and -ing form themselves.
  3. Return to articles, dates or object pronouns where the key and learner evidence indicate a gap.

Support and extension

Compare error families with earlier work rather than declare improvement from a small numerical change. The beginner label organises grammar scope, not certified learner level.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
