The present tense shows the action
happening at the present time. The
present tense is formed by using is, am, or

Play "Days Rope Jump"

You'll need a length of rope, long enough to

lay along the length of your classroom. Lay
the rope on the floor and stand facing the
rope, so it is horizontal to you. Get all the
students to stand on the rope, facing you.
Now demonstrate: jump one step back and
shout "yesterday". Jump one step forward onto
the rope and shout "today". Then jump one step
forward, in front of the rope and shout
"tomorrow". Then get everyone jumping,
backwards and forwards as everybody shouts
together "yesterday – today – tomorrow – today
– yesterday – today – tomorrow – today – etc.".
Keep going, getting faster and faster until it gets
too quick to keep up.
Next, you are going to do the same thing,
but the teacher is going to say the days
randomly. Everyone has to listen carefully
and jump into the correct position according
to the day the teacher shouts:
 yesterday = behind the rope
 today = on the rope
 tomorrow = in front of the rope
As you do this, try and trick people by
saying the same day twice and go at
different speeds. As students make
mistakes they have to sit out of the game
until there is only one left, who is the
winner. It’s a really fun game and you can
play this a few times.
Past tense is used to show an action that
happened in the past. Usually, the past
tense is formed by adding -d or –ed to the
base form of the verb. “Was and were” are
the past tenses of the verbs “is and are”

First, ask students what day it is today and write that

day in the middle of the timeline. Next, review the
past tense and write some past tense words
(yesterday, last week, last year, etc) on the left side of
the timeline.
Then ask students what day it is tomorrow and write
that day on the right side of the timeline. Elicit some
more times in the future (next week, next Tuesday,
next year, etc.) and write them on the timeline, too.
Using this simple timeline, you can

now and can explain to students that in this

events that will happen in the future.
The future tense is formed by using shall or
will plus the base form of the verb.

Future tense shows an action that will
happen at some future time.
You will use will/shall when an action is
promised/ arranged/planned and will take
place in the future. Regardless of the
subject, whether it is in singular or plural
form, the modals will/shall will be followed by
the base form of the verb.
Note: The traditional rule is that shall is used
with first person pronoun ( i.e. I and We )
while Will is used with the second person
and third person forms ( i.e. You, He, She, It,
They ) to form the future tense.
