师：And boys and girls, let's look at these sentences. First one, let's read them together. Hmm, "what are they doing", ready go.
生：what are they doing, what is Tim doing, what is he doing, what is she doing, they are watching TV, he is playing with toys, he is sleeping, he is reading a book.
师：Tell me, what tense are they about?
生：现在进行时，就指的是现在在发生的事情。
师：Oh, good. Okay, you know these sentences about present continuous tense, yes or no? Hmm, I think from our story time you know a little about this tense. But in this class, in this lesson, let's learn more. Okay, hmm, so I have three questions. First one, think of it. What is present continuous tense? And then, when to use it? In what situation can we use this tense? Okay, and how to use it? What about the sentence structure? This time I want you to discuss with your partner, to talk about these questions. Okay, go.
（学生讨论）
师：Okay, now tell me. First one, what is present continuous tense? You know, you try.
生：it's the things are happening now.
师：Yes, I will give some choices first. One, a: to describe habits, repeated action or events; b: to talk about things that are happening now. A or B?
生：B.
师：Yes, because you can see "to talk about things that are happening now". Yes, right. That is present continuous tense. Yes, when we talk about what is happening now we can use this tense. And when can we use it? If we see some keywords. You try.
生：it is now.
师：uh, yes, I miss right. If we see this word "now", we can use this tense in most of time. Right, you try. When, when we say "now", "look", "listen" and "at the moment", we can use this tense. Do you think so?
生：Wow, very nice.
师：Good. Okay, so when we look at, see these words, we can use this tense. This one "listen", yes. And this one "now", this one "be quiet", yes, "be quiet". Anyone and "at this... at this moment" and...
生：at blah blah o'clock.
师：Yes, at blah blah o'clock, at one o'clock. Yes, good. I think so. Very good. And good try. So when we see these words, "look", "now", "be quiet", maybe "at bla bla o'clock", right, we can use this tense. And how to use it? I think maybe there is a little difficult. Let's see. Wow, look at the sentence together. Well, look at the red words. So, what can you find?
生：呃，我发现这些句子它们都有be动词，以及它们的动词也会加上"ing"。
师：Good. Okay, you have noticed they have the same structure. You try.
生：they all use subject as verb to say that something is happening now.
师：Wonderful. Very good. If you want to describe this one, you can say "somebody blah blah blah". But in these sentences, we can find one sentence structure that is "be doing". Right? Okay, very good. "be doing". So boys and girls, show me your hands. "be doing" together. "be doing" together. "be doing" together. "be doing" together. "be doing" together. Yes, because we use them together, we must use them together. They are good friends, right? Okay, very good. And what about this one? If you want to ask "what is somebody doing", what are the sentence structures? The first line is "what", what second? Yeah, for "be" this one "somebody doing". So that is the sentence structure, "what be somebody doing". Very good. If you want to ask, we may use this sentence "what is" or "what be somebody doing". And how can we answer?
生：somebody be doing.
师：Yes, very good. "somebody be doing" or "verb + ing". Good. Okay, very nice. I think these are about the present continuous. I think you know a lot. First one, we know what it is. Right? And in what situation can we use it? When can we use it? Yes or no? And what about the sentence structure? Right. Okay, good. And let's learn more. Let's see. Look at these words. They are very important in this tense, yes or no? Right. So let's read them together. "watching", ready go.
生：watching, playing, swimming, reading, having, taking, chatting, taking, taking, chatting, chatting.
师：Good. Okay, and we call them present participles. Right? And do you know the original form? For example, "watching" - "watch", this one "play" - "playing", "play". And "sleeping" - "read" - "reading", "having" - "have". How to spell?
生：H - a - V - E.
师：Yes, good. "taking" - "take". How to spell?
生：T - a - K - E.
师：Good. "chatting" - "chat". Okay, so could you find some change rules about these words? I think in grade five unit four "hobbies" you learn something about that. Yes? Okay, because you have learned "like doing something", maybe they have the same rules, yes or no? Right. So can you tell me, what about the change rule? You try.
生：um, generally we use "ing" on the verb, but in some special cases, like "have", "take" or "dance", we should cut off the "e" and add "ing". And for some, like "chat", "swim", we should write the last consonant again and plus "ing".
