Present Continuous Tense Notes and Example Sentences When we express ourselves in everyday life, we often talk about situations that are already happening. We often use present continuous tense to tell others about our own lives and to inform people about what is happening around us. Therefore, it is really important to know about the use of present continuous tense. Example Sentences She is talking to you and you are not listening to her. This is really shame. You are not doing that, right? They are not coming, sorry. It is not helping to me, please stop it. I am

Need some fun ideas for teaching adjectives to your Kindergarten, 1st, or 2nd grade students? Keep reading for some engaging activities! Activity #1: Have students use adjectives to describe a real object. When I first begin teaching about adjectives, I like to point out that kids already know a lot of describing words! I have them practice describing an interesting object (preferably, something related to a science or social studies unit). Sometimes I give them a checklist for help (like this one from my Kindergarten Grammar Alive pack): Partners or small groups can share their describing words with the class, and we make a big chart of adjectives that we add onto during future lessons. Activity #2: Have younger students explore opposite adjectives and what they mean. With my Kindergarteners, I don’t go too far in-depth with teaching about adjectives. But I do teach them about describing words that are opposites! We think of real-life examples of things that can be described as hot or cold, large or small, etc. I also read aloud this “opposites” book to them to reinforce the opposites vocabulary: Activity #3: Have students sort adjectives vs. non-adjectives. Once students are beginning to understand the concept of adjectives, I have them practice differentiating between words that are adjectives and words that are not adjectives. A simple word sort is a great way to practice this: (An adjectives vs. non-adjectives sort is included in my First Grade Grammar Alive resource.) Activity #4: Work with adjective shades of meaning. Once students understand adjectives, we begin to explore shades of meaning. In this ice pops activity, students put together puzzles by looking for adjectives that mean something similar: This ice pops adjectives activity comes from my Second Grade Grammar Alive resource! Activity #5: Have students add adjectives to their writing! One of the main reasons we teach students about adjectives is so that they can use them to add details to their writing! Once students understand what adjectives are and can come up with some examples, I model how to use describing words in writing. If we’re writing narratives, I model how to add adjectives to describe… A character The setting An important object in the story If we’re writing informational / nonfiction pieces, I model how to add adjectives to describe… An animal or plant’s appearance Ingredients or materials needed for a how-to piece If we’re writing opinion pieces, I model how to add adjectives to… Convey an opinion Describe a food, toy, restaurant, movie, etc. that I’m writing about Once I’ve modeled, I ask the kids to take a piece of writing that’s finished or nearly finished. With a partner, they try to add at least 2 adjectives. Then, in future writing lessons where we talk about adding more details, I remind them that they can use adjectives to add more detail to their writing.
