Ok, we have just learned the present continuous. Let's talk about the meaning of the present continuous. ( Pointing the other character on the picture.) Is the dog  holding the balloons?  Does  the dog always hold the balloon? Is this in the past, present or future?

The dog is holding the balloons now. This is happening now. The dog always doesn't holds the ballons.

- Explain the difference between present simple and present continuous.

-Form

A very common way of the present continuous is changing the form of  a verb by adding '-ing' to it.

be (am/is/are) + -ing
I'm +-ing	She's/He's/It's+-ing	We're/You're/They're +-ing
I'm eating.	She's painting a picture.	You're sleeping on the sofa.
I'm talking.	It's drinking water.	They're listening to music.

Verb + -ing	Verb +one more cosonant + -ing	Verb + e + -ing
walk - walking	hit - hitting	drive - driving
sleep - sleeping	swim - swimming	write - writing
drink - drinking	hop - hopping	dance- dancing
work - working	run - running	make - making

In the case of some verbs, we have to double the letter before the final letter is a single vowel.

Keep in mind that the letters w, x and y are never double.

For verbs that end in 'e' , we have to drop the final 'e' before adding to the verb.

- After explanation, T call the students forth and then let Ss fill in the blanks.

Ok, listen and repeat.
