Show a picture with multiple simultaneous actions (e.g., a busy park). Ask students simple questions: “What do you see?”, “What is happening in the picture?”

Tell a short story using the image. Example: “Yesterday at 5 p.m., the children were playing football. The old man was feeding birds...” Students listen and follow.

After the storytelling, the teacher elicits key sentences from the students and highlights the grammatical structure

I will clarify the meaning of the past continuous by drawing a timeline and asking CCQs such as: “Is it in the past?” (Yes) “Was the action finished?” (No) “Can I use a time like ‘at 6 p.m.’?” (Yes). Then I will elicit the form from students (was/were + verb-ing) using example sentences.Subject-verb agreement and the -ing form will be highlighted.Difficult forms will be drilled if needed (e.g., “was watching,” “were playing”).

The students will do exercise A on page 132 in the grammar bank in 3 minutes. Students will be given 3 minutes to check their answers in their groups . Then the answers will be checked in the whole class.

Students will be given this Task: Describe a film scene or personal memory using past continuous. And share in in the group
