Present Continuous and the Phone Thief
Practise the present continuous with this engaging, story-based A2 worksheet. Students start by describing what people are doing in a picture, before completing present continuous questions using verbs in brackets. They then review contractions and practise forming affirmative and negative sentences. A humorous dialogue between a shop worker and a police officer gives students the chance to complete a story using the present continuous in context. Finally, picture-based pairwork activities encourage students to create and answer their own questions, followed by a creative writing task in which they finish the story using the target grammar. Ideal for combining grammar practice, speaking, and writing in one lesson.
