This resource pack introduces children to the present progressive tense — used to show that something is happening right now. The PowerPoint explains how to build these sentences using is, are or am with a verb ending in ing and clearly shows the difference between the present progressive and the simple present tense. Pupils are guided step-by-step through sentence transformations and common errors with plenty of examples and talk opportunities built in. The tasks provide scaffolded practice, starting with table-based sentence building and moving on to rewriting full sentences. These activities help children build confidence using the tense in their own writing.
