Practising present tenses
•     Do the first item as an example.
•     Ss complete the task individually and then
compare answers with a partner.
•     Check answers with the class.
Answer Key
1    A: are you smelling (action)
B: smells (state)
2     A: am seeing (action)
B: see (state)
3     A: are looking (action)
B: looks (state)
4     A: are thinking (action)
B: think (state)
5     A: is (state)
B: is being (action)
Actions are things that are happening at the
moment of speaking and are described using
the present continuous tense (this tense can
also be used for fixed arrangements e.g. 2A: I
am seeing my niece tonight).
States describe how something/someone is at
the moment of speaking (e.g. 1B: It smells
wonderful) or what something/someone is
usually like (e.g. 5A: He is usually so cheerful)
and are described using the present simple
tense.
