present simple and prepositions of time

This module focuses on the present simple tense. Students 

often over-use the present continuous tense, and use it 

instead of the present simple. The present continuous tense 

is reviewed later in the course. This module also reviews 

prepositions of time.

A search for 

festivals in Japan

 or 

festivals in Guatemala

 will 

bring up sites with information about a variety of festivals in 

these countries. Get students to do this research as a follow-up 

to the lesson. They should share their findings with the class 

which will provide further practice of the present simple.
