Simple Present Practice
Following the comprehensive review of forms, uses, and third-person singular spelling, it’s now opportune to delve into practical application with the simple present practice. This lesson plan encompasses a range of exercises designed to reinforce spelling rules, and affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the simple present tense.
This simple present practice lesson plan starts with the application of the rules for the third-person singular.
In the following exercise, students are encouraged to skillfully compose the correct form of various verbs in the third person singular.
1. Write the third person singular in the present simple for the following verbs in the right place.
The next exercise invites students to put the verbs in brackets in the correct present simple tense form:
2. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs.
- Mary… (swim) at the pool every weekend.
- The sun… (rise) in the east every morning.
- The students… (study) for exams in the library.
- The dog… (bark) when someone knocks on the door.
- Alex… (write) a journal every night.
- The bus… (arrive) at the station on time.
- My parents… (visit) their friends every Sunday.
- The clock… (tick) loudly in the silent room.
- The chef… (prepare) delicious meals for the restaurant.
- I… (take) a walk in the park after dinner.
For honing skills in the negative forms of the present simple, two exercises are provided. The initial exercise is receptive, enabling students to select from the options: do, does, don’t, or doesn’t. In the second exercise, students are prompted to transform verbs in brackets into their respective negative forms.
3. Choose the correct option.
- She don’t / doesn’t like spicy food.
- We don’t / doesn’t watch horror movies.
- The cat don’t / doesn’t sleep on the sofa.
- I don’t / doesn’t wear glasses.
- They don’t / doesn’t speak French.
- My grandparents don’t / doesn’t use smartphones.
- The train don’t / doesn’t arrive on time.
- My sister don’t / doesn’t play the piano.
- The flowers don’t / doesn’t need much water.
- He don’t / doesn’t enjoy shopping.
4. Fill in the gaps with the negative forms of the present simple of the verbs in brackets.
- My brother… (not / enjoy) spicy food.
- The cat… (not / sleep) on the bed.
- We.. (not / visit) museums on weekends.
- John… (not / forget) his keys at home.
- Sarah… (not / play) video games.
- The baby… (not / cry) during the night.
- They… (not / believe) in ghosts.
- The dog… (not / bark) at strangers.
- My friends… (not / appreciate) loud music.
- The teacher… (not / assign) homework on Fridays.
After ample practice with negative forms, it’s time to engage students in honing their skills with interrogative forms. This involves two exercises: the first prompts students to arrange sentences into the correct interrogative form, while the second exercise combines practice in both interrogative and negative sentences in the simple present.
5. Use the interrogative form of the present simple.
- … … … (the students / understand) the lesson?
- … … … (you / enjoy) watching horror movies?
- … … … (the boys / play) football after school?
- … … … (the baby / sleep) through the night?
- … … … (your parents / travel) often?
- … … … (the team / win) most of their games?
- … … … (Jane / speak) Spanish fluently?
- … … … (your brother / use) public transportation?
- … … … (the teacher / assign) homework regularly?
- … … … (the neighbors / complain) about the noise?
6. Rewrite the sentences both in the negative and interrogative forms.
- Negative: …
- Interrogative: …
Having practiced the affirmative, interrogative, and negative forms of the simple present, the teacher can now present a challenge to students: identifying and correcting mistakes in sentences. This activity not only sharpens problem-solving skills but also fosters critical thinking among students.
7. Correct the mistakes in these sentences:
- Do they visits the museum?
- Jane play the guitar well.
- Do Sarah speak Spanish fluently?
- Does it rains often in this city?
- The students doesn’t understands the lesson?
- My friends knows the answer.
- Do the dog barks loudly at night?
- She cook dinner every night?
- I makes mistakes sometimes.
- Does the baby cries a lot?
Production Activity:
The central objective of the production stage activity is to enhance fluency. A degree of tolerance towards students’ errors is permissible, and corrections may be deferred to prioritize a smooth flow of language expression.
This activity involves students being given a table depicting various activities performed by different individuals. Initially, they collaborate in pairs, posing questions to each other about the Sunday activities of these individuals. Subsequently, they are encouraged to write short paragraphs using the simple present tense to describe these people’s routines.
Here are some tips to monitor this activity:
- The primary focus of this activity is fluency:
- Begin with positive reinforcement.
- Highlight aspects where students successfully used “does” and “do” correctly in questions and statements.
- Address any common errors in the use of “does” and “do.”
- Correct any misunderstandings in the ticked activities based on the provided table.
- Praise creativity in paragraph formation.
- Encourage students to use a variety of verbs and expressions.
- Identify common challenges students faced during the activity.
- Provide additional examples or explanations to clarify specific points.
- Encourage listening during peer presentations.
- Prompt questions from the class about the activities mentioned in each paragraph.
- Use positive language to reinforce efforts.
- Create an atmosphere where students feel comfortable and motivated to participate.
- Offer guidance on how to improve further.
- Suggest additional practice or related activities for reinforcement.
In conclusion, this comprehensive lesson plan on the simple present tense incorporates a thorough review and a diverse range of exercises covering forms, uses, and spelling.
