Does anyone know of some concept checking questions to use when teaching the past continuous.I'm trying to distinguish between this tense and the past simple.
I.e... At 9am I was reading a newspaper.
At 9am I read a newspaper.
These are the ones i came up with so far....
1) Is the sentence in the past, present or future? - Past
2) Am i reading a newspaper now? - No
Any advice or examples woudl really help......
Many thanks! |
