Twelve Verb Tenses

http://utminers.utep.edu/micontreras/12%20verb%20tenses.htm

That was where we started today.

1. You charted the 12 verb tenses (really there were 16 with the be going to___ futures) 
2. You conjugated them with a chosen example verb.
3. You focused on the Present Simple and Past Simple.
4. You found two specific reasons to use the Past Simple, using the internet, books etc.
5. You found FIVE specific reasons to use the Present Simple,using the internet, books etc.
6. You checked your list against another groups or maybe I checked them for you.  Maybe you just checked against a different resource (book, person or website).
7. Without a resource you created a suitable example to elaborate on and illustrate each item from your list.

Then you went solo . You left your partners and claimed a verb tense of your own.

Then you went to the resources to prepare a presentation on your own.

Massi presented some of the Present Perfect Continuous and Khalid did some more.

Massi noted that we use the Present Perfect Continuous with for and since. Khalid talked about the differences in their uses...

...So tomorrow it's your turn.

• Know your verb tense

• Don't ask "Do you understand?"

Questions to investigate:
What's the difference between see and watch; see and look at; watch and look at?
How are see and notice related?
If you want to learn more about something are you feeling interesting or interested?
What kind of verbs are state verbs?
