Hi Mister Micawber,

Thank you for you answer.

What about yes and no questions? Should I change, 'to describe actions' into 'to confirm actions' and 'to negate actions'?

Thank in advance.

TS

Mister Micawber · Answer

I realize that 'describe' doesn't quite work, but I think 'confirm' or 'negate' are less appropriate. If I were doing it, I would avoid that kind of relationship between sentence and picture entirely:

Look at the drawings and complete the sentences in present progressive. Use the verbs given below the drawings.

Tenacious Learner · Answer

Thank you Mister Micawber.

What about these ones?

a) To complete these affirmative sentences in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

b) To complete these negative sentences in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

c) To complete these questions and answers for actions in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

d) To complete the yes questions of these numbered questions in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

e) To complete the no questions of these numbered questions in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

Information to consider:

*For letter 'c' I have to say 'for actions' because they are exclusively for that that purpose.

The pages that contains the directions have 6 drawings with different actions, but the same ones are for affirmative, negative, questions, etc.

Mister Micawber · Answer

Yes, good, but do you need 'for these numbered questions'? I'd just do this:

d) To complete the 'yes' questions in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

e) To complete the 'no' questions in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings.

Tenacious Learner · Answer

Mister MicawberYes, good, but do you need 'for these numbered questions'?

Well, I'm saying it just because the 'yes' and 'no' questions come from the previous written questions by the students. But maybe just saying what you wrote for 'd' and 'e' is enought, isn't it?

TS

One more and last to go about this matter.

Would these directions be also aprropriate?

To complete these affirmative sentences in present progressive, use the verbs given below the drawings. For the negative sentences guess the most appropriate verb according to the context.

Example:

1.- Robert ____ _____________ __________ Kate now. (Robert is thinking about Kate now.)

Robert ________ ___________ the newspaper. (Robert isn't reading the newspaper.)

Information to consider: the students have already done the verd 'is reading' in affirmative with the same complement 'the newspaper'.

Mister Micawber · Answer

Yes, that all sounds fine to me.

(Gone for the weekend)
