Describe

a picture 

Describing pictures challenge

Because what we see in the pictures is a fact we can also use the Present Simple, instead of the Present Continuous.

Describing pictures challenge

Describe what you see in the pictures in the Present Simple.

Think about the colours you see, what is the weather like, the people in the picture, where are they, maybe you know their names, what are they wearing, what is happening in the background, what are they doing, are they happy or angry or scared, is it day or night etc.

I understand the Present Simple.
