Before the lesson, prepare the Sentence Builder cards. You will need the following cards:
pronouns, to be verbs, verbs (for example: eat, sleep, play) and the verb ending "-ing."
Pass out the cards, one per pupil.
Have pupils stand in a line to create sentences. Say a sentence and have the pupils who hold the
correct cards stand at the front of the class. For example: (You) (are) (eat)(ing).
Say a new sentence by changing either the pronoun or the verb form at a time. Play a few times
to have pupils practice building sentences, especially focusing on combining the correct pronoun
and form of the verb in a Present Progressive sentence.
