III. Procedures

A. Pre-assessment activity

Activity: Tense Timeline

Draw a timeline on the whiteboard with three sections: Past, Present, Future.

Ask students to come up and place various action cards on the timeline to indicate when each action
happens (e.g., "I eat breakfast," "I will go to the park," "I watched a movie").

Discuss as a class where each action should be placed, introducing the concept of simple tenses.

B. Motivation

Activity: Tense Charades

Divide the class into two teams.

Write down actions (verbs) on separate pieces of paper related to the simple tenses.

One student from each team acts out the action without speaking, and their team must guess the
correct tense (past, present, or future).

Rotate players until all students have had a chance to act.

C. Presentation

Explain each of the simple tenses:

Simple Present: Used for habitual actions or general truths.

Simple Past: Used for actions that happened in the past.

Simple Future: Used for actions that will happen in the future.

Provide examples for each tense and write them on the board.
Discuss the formation of verbs in each tense (e.g., adding "s" in the third person singular in the simple
present).

D. Generalization

Discuss common time expressions for each tense (e.g., "yesterday" for simple past, "tomorrow" for
simple future).

Have students come up with more examples for each tense.

E. Application

Provide worksheets with sentences that require students to choose the correct tense.

In pairs or small groups, have students create sentences using each of the simple tenses.

Encourage students to share their sentences with the class.

IV. Evaluation

Conduct a written quiz with sentences that require students to identify and use the appropriate simple
tense.

Evaluate students' participation in the discussion and group activities.

V. Assignment

simple tenses.

Reading Assignment: Assign a passage from the textbook or online resource for further practice on
simple tenses.
