Lesson Outline

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

• Greet the class and introduce the topic of the day: Past Continuous.
• Ask students if they know what the past continuous is and where it is used.
• Briefly explain that the past continuous tense describes actions that were ongoing in the past.

2. Explanation of Past Continuous (10 minutes)

• Forming Past Continuous:
  Explain the structure:
  • Subject + was/were + verb+ing
    • Example: "I was playing", "They were studying".
• Usage:
  • To describe events happening at a specific moment in the past:
    • Example: "At 3 PM yesterday, I was doing my homework."
  • To show that a longer action was interrupted by a shorter action:
    • Example: "I was watching TV when the phone rang."

3. Guided Practice (5 minutes)

• Write several sentences on the board in the simple past and ask students to convert them to the past continuous.
  • Example: "I played soccer." → "I was playing soccer."
• Request volunteers to share their answers and correct them as necessary.

4. Group Activity (5 minutes)

• Divide the class into small groups.
• Give each group a set of example sentences on cards that are either in past continuous or simple past.
• Ask them to identify which sentences are past continuous and to explain why.

5. Review and Recap (3 minutes)

• Quickly review the key points of the lesson.
• Reinforce the correct structure and use of the past continuous tense.

6. Homework Assignment (2 minutes)
