Hi guys, im currently undertaking a TEFL test and am a little bit confused with regards to one part of the test and was wondering if anyone has already done it and could clarify something i am unsure on?

For Section 1 of the test i am required to give 2 examples of exercises that students could do to practise each tense (e.g present perfect, past continuous etc)

The thing is it states that each example must be unique, but there are 14 questions, each requiring 2 examples.

Does this mean that i couldnt do this for example:
-future perfect i could get students to write down a list of things that will happen by 9pm
-and for future continuous getting students to write down a list of activities that they are currently undertaking?

If the above isnt allowed that means i would have to think of 28 seperate and unique exercises which seems ludicrous.

I have emailed the company but had no response so far, im guessing because its Sunday.

Sorry for the long and boring post, and thanks immensely to any help that anyone can offer.

Shouldn't the second one be present continuous?

This sounds like quite a straight forward question. Get your hands on some text books, go to Kyobo if you haven't got any where you work, and look on the context pages for the different tenses. Then find 14 different types of activity and copy them down. As they are all practising different tenses it shouldn't be too diffiicult to find fourteen different activity types. Does the question specify that the activities have to be productive? If not any listening or reading activity introducing the same structure could be cited as an example.

You have to come up with questions in which the appropriate response would be those particular tenses.

ie:

And for future continuous, you should ask something like:

What will you be doing at 9:00 pm?

I haven't taken this particular course, but that is what I would do.


1. What do you usually do in the afternoon? (simple present)

2. What are you doing now? (present continuous)

3. What did you do yesterday afternoon? (simple past)

4. Have you ever eaten spaghetti? (present perfect)

5. What were you doing at 3:00 yesterday? (past continuous)

6. etc.

Those are just questions though, they're not different activity types. isn't that what he has to provide?
