PRESENT SIMPLE vs. PRESENT CONTINUOUS WRITING TASK AND PPT

What's the difference between the Present Simple and Present Continuous and how to use them? That's the big issue we are going through these last lessons:
As we said in class we use the present simple tense when we want to talk about fixed habits or routines – things that don’t change. However, we use the present continuous to talk about actions which are happening at the present moment.

Compare these two statements:
I play tennis / I am playing tennis.

I play tennis tells us that playing tennis is something the speaker always does. It is part of a routine or habit. We can call this a permanent situation.  I am playing tennis tells us that the speaker is playing tennis right now. We call this a temporary situation.

For next writing task you must write a description of these four people on the slides above. On the left you can see what their profession is and on the right what they are doing in this moment. Pretty like the four stories we have done in class.

COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES

Comparatives and Superlatives are special forms of adjectives. They are used to compare two or more things. Generally, comparatives are formed using -er and superlatives are formed using -est. This page will explain the rules for forming regular comparatives and superlatives, and also show some basic ways of using them.

In this unit 6 we are practising comparatives and superlatives. We have gone through a wide variety of structures that focus on the use of comparisons.For the homework sent in class go through some of the exercises you will find in this lot of photocopies you can download at a click.
