I am Gerdien Havinga

Today:

- Grammar: present simple

- Language portfolio

Goals:

- I get to have an understanding of your level/motivation

English

- Centraal examen: reading & listening, B1

Why English?

Introductions: 2 truths 1 lie

Tell me/the classroom:

- name, age, previous study/school, work experience

- 2 truths and 1 lie

- the classroom votes which one is the lie

When are these things happening?

1. Write down the verb(s) from every sentence.

2. What do they have in common?

1. I always walk to school

2. I usually eat in front of the TV

3. I don’t like films about pirates

4. She doesn’t know him

5. The train leaves every half an hour.

6. I live in Zwolle

1. I am walking to school right now

2. Are you eating in front of the TV?

3. No, I am eating at the table

4. The train is leaving the platform right now, so you’ve missed it.

Vreemde vraag dus waarschijnlijk uitleg nodig. De dingen die in de zinnen gebeuren, wanneer spelen de zich af?

Studenten vergelijken werkwoorden en zien dat structuren overeenkomen. aansturen op zelf de conclusie trekken dat je voor habits/facts pr simple gebruikt en voor iets dat nu gebeurt pr. cont.

1. altijd zo (present simple)

2. Op dit moment(present continuous)

When are these things happening?

Present simple

When to use

- When talking about facts 

- When talking about habits

How to make

- Hele werkwoord zonder “to” (walk/live/arrive): I live here

- He/she/it + s (walks/lives/arrives): She lives here

- negative: don’t + hele werkwoord: I don’t live here

He/she/it negative: doesn’t + hele werkwoord: He doesn’t live here

- Question: do or does at beginning of sentence + hele werkwoord

 Do you live in Zwolle?

Does she live in Zwolle?

Practise here!

When are these things happening?

Present continuous

When to use:

 -When something is happing right now

How to make 

 - vorm van to be + werkwoord dat eindigd op –ing

 I am walking – He is walking – you are walking – they are walking - we are walking

- Negative: not between to be and -ing: I am not walking

Question: To be at the front of sentence: Is he walking?

Practise

Wanneer spelen deze dingen zich af?

1. altijd zo (present simple)

2. Op dit moment( present continuous)

When are these things happening?

Think of questions for these answers

Q: ...................................

A: I play football

Q: .....................................

A: I am brushing my teeth

Deze vragen checken het begrip. vraag 1 en 2 lijken op elkaar, maar moeten respectievelijk met de present simple en de continuous worden gemaakt en verschillen dus wel degelijk van betekenis

Q: ...................................
A: I play football

Q: .....................................
A: I am brushing my teeth
