Unit 6: Brief Overview The unit covers all form of the past tenses; past simple, past continuous, past perfect, past perfect continuous. The unit draws our attention to some common patterns in the formation of the various aspects, for example: All simple continuous aspects have some form of the verb ''to be'' plus the verb in \"ing\" which would change according to time to form the corresponding tense aspect. When the verb to be is in the present simple, the corresponding tense form is present continuous; when the verb to be is in past simple, the form will be past continuous and future will likely follow a similar pattern. The same with the perfect simple formations. All perfect simple sentences will have some form of the verb ''to have'' plus the past participle form of the verb. Where the verb to have is in the present simple, the sentence will be in the present perfect. Where the verb to have is in the past simple, the sentence will be in the past perfect. However, with perfect continuous aspects, there is always some form of \" to have? plus ?been\" plus the present participle form of the verb. Where the verb to have is in the present simple, it will be the present perfect continuous; Where the verb to have is the past simple, it will be the past perfect continuous; and the future perfect will surely follow a similar pattern. I was particularly caught by the activate stage teaching ideas: Past simple: Card games will be suitable to practice irregular verb forms. Matching activities would also do, e.g matching present with past (wear-wore) Discussion ? past holiday, major events. Interview role ? play. Past continuous: Detective games ? sample questions: where were you yesterday at 17:00? What were you doing? Using visual prompts, describe a story using a combination of past continuous and past simple. Past perfect: Story telling in conjunction with the other past forms. Give student a final situation and ask them to think of reasons why the situation happened. Pictures or other visual prompts could be used in this activity. Past perfect continues: Give students pictures showing different obvious results like a man leaving the super market, a man and women sitting near a lawn tennis court in their sports attires, an athlete looking tired running down a street, etc, and ask student to make up sentences explaining what they have been doing.
