    Development:

    Can is a modal verb.


    Can is used to express ability or to say that something is possible.
    Can is the same for all subjects. We don't add an 'S' in the third person (like other verbs)
    The verb that comes after Can is in the infinitive without to:

     I can speak Spanish. (= it is possible for me to speak Spanish = I have the ability
    to speak Spanish)
     He can swim well.
     We can see our neighbour in the garden.
     They can play the guitar.

    Present Continuous

    (also called Present Progressive)

    We often use the Present Continuous tense in English. It is very different from the Present
    Simple tense, both in structure and in use.
    Level I – Lesson Plan

    How do we make the Present Continuous tense?

    The structure of the Present Continuous tense is:

    The
    auxiliary verb (be) is conjugated in the Present Simple: am, are, is

    The main verb is invariable in present participle form: -ing

    For negative sentences we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.

    For question sentences, we exchange the subject and the auxiliary verb.

    Look at these example sentences with the Present Continuous tense:

    How
    do we use the Present Continuous tense?

    We use the Present Continuous to talk about:


    Level I – Lesson Plan

     action happening now


     action in the future

    Present Continuous for action happening now

    a) for action happening exactly now

    I am eating my lunch.

    past present future

    The action is happening now.

    Look at these images. Right now you are looking at this screen and at the same time...

    the pages are turning the candle is burning the numbers are spinning

    b) for action happening around now

    The action may not be happening exactly now, but it is happening just before and just
    after now, and it is not permanent or habitual.
    Level I – Lesson Plan

    John is looking for a new job.

    past present future

    The action is happening "around" now.

    Look at these examples:

     Muriel is learning to drive.


     I am living with my sister until I find an apartment.

    Present Continuous for the future

    We can also use the Present Continuous tense to talk about the future - if we add a future
    word!! We must add (or understand from the context) a future word. "Future words"
    include, for example, tomorrow, next year, in June, at Christmas etc. We only use the
    Present Continuous tense to talk about the future when we have planned to do something
    before we speak. We have already made a decision and a plan before speaking.

    I am taking my exam next month.

    past present future


    Level I – Lesson Plan

    !!!

    A firm plan or programme exists now. The action is in the future.

    Look at these examples:

     We're eating at Joe's Cafe tonight. We've already booked the table..
     They can play tennis with you tomorrow. They're not working.
     When are you starting your new job?

    In these examples, a firm plan or programme exists before speaking. The decision and
    plan were made before speaking.

    How do we spell the Present Continuous tense?

    We make the Present Continuous tense by adding -ing to the base verb. Normally it's
    simple: we just add -ing. But sometimes we have to change the word a little. Perhaps we
    double the last letter, or we drop a letter. Here are the rules to help you know how to spell
    the Present Continuous tense.

    Basic rule Just add -ing to the base verb:

    work → working

    play → playing

    assist → assisting
    Level I – Lesson Plan

    see → seeing

    be → being

    If the base verb ends in consonant + stressed vowel + consonant, double the
    Exception letter:

    s t o p

    consonant stressed consonant

    vowel

    vowels = a, e, i, o, u

    stop → stopping

    run → running

    begin → beginning
    Level I – Lesson Plan

    Note that this exception does not apply when the last syllable of the base verb
    not stressed:

    open → opening

    Exception If the base verb ends in ie, change the ie to y:

    lie → lying

    die → dying

    Exception If the base verb ends in vowel + consonant + e, omit the e:

    come → coming

    mistake → mistaking

    Note that continuous tenses are also called progressive tenses. So the Present
    Continuous tense is sometimes called the Present Progressive tense.
