Learners discover the value of the present in English while in preparation for the first session, the pupils prepare a set of sentences at home : these sentences include verbs in the Present Tense, then in class they sort and categorise these verbs in such a way as to recognise the value associated to the Present Tense in this language. Then, they discover the functioning of the Present Tense in English : ………………

Finally, in order to identify the value of the Present Tense in context, the teacher mimes and names an action which characterises a job and the student evaluates the validity of the statement by raising a yellow or green card. A subsequent activity to be done individually aims to get students to identify the contradictions expressed in the two forms of the Present and also works on negation). In a final intensive oral exercise which is done in pairs students produce the statements with the different forms : in this game the partner must guess the name of the animal from the two sentences given.
