PROCEDURES
After one minute, T says, Now, can you tell me the other verbs?
T writes all the verbs down on the board.
4. Formal explanation (6 minutes)
T says, Ok. Is there anyone who already ate dinner? Please raise
your hands.
One or two Ss may raise their hands.
T asks, When did you start your dinner and when did you finish?
Ss will give two times. T draws a line and writes down these two
times on the timeline on the board. Then T select a point between
these two times, and asks, What did you do in this time?
Ss will answer, I was eating my dinner.
Then T says, Good. And what time is it now?
Ss will give the time.
Then T asks, Ok, and when did our class begin?
Ss will answer, 5:30.
T asks, Ok. What did we do at 6 oclock?
Ss answer, We were studying.
Then T asks, Now can anyone find the similarity of these verbs?
Can you find the verb form of these verbs?
Ss may be able to say, Be+ doing or was/ were+ doing.
T asks, Great! We call this form was/ were + doing is past
progressive. Today we are going to learn past progressive in simple
sentences.
Then T gives the handouts.
T reads the table to the Ss and explains the table to the Ss.
Then T asks, If I want to ask you the verb of this sentence, how can
I ask? T underlines the verb form of the first sentence was
making.
Ss will answer, What were you doing at 6 oclock?
T then asks, Good! If I want to ask her this question, how can I
ask?
Ss will answer, What was she doing 6 oclock?
T says, Great! And then if I want to ask them this question, how can
I ask?
Ss will answer, What were they doing 6 oclock?
T says, Good! So if we want to ask the event of that time, we need
to use Wh-words+ were/was + S +do-ing+ time? T writes this form
down on the board.
Ss answer.
T says, Have is a stative verb, so we cannot use it as progressive
verb. We need to remember progressive verbs always have
duration. Progressive verbs always have actions.
Then T gives the handouts (CherylPavlik & SusanBlandKesner, March
24, 2005, p76) to Ss, and compares the simple past and past
progressive.
T asks Ss to look the handout, and T reads the information and
examples in the handouts.
