The final tense subsection deals with present simple and present continuous verbs. Students may not grasp the difference between these two tenses immediately so by drawing their attention to when each tense is used, the unique purpose of each will become clear. There are 75 worksheets to help your students practice using both tenses. When completing this worksheet students have to carefully choose which tense to use when completing the first thirty sentences. The second section is a matching exercise where students match questions with appropriate responses. If you think this would be too overwhelming for your elementary or pre-intermediate students, consider choosing some of these sentences to use in a worksheet of your own or just view some other worksheets that you and your students might like better. If you already have worksheets on this topic, please take a moment to submit them so that other busy teachers can learn from you.
