Present Indefinite tense

Step 1: Start with a Real-Life Connection (Warm-up Activity)

• Ask students about their daily routine:
  • "What do you do every morning?"
  • "What do you eat for breakfast?"
  • "Where do you live?"
• Write their responses on the board and underline verbs to introduce the tense.

Example:

• I wake up at 7 AM.
• She eats bread for breakfast.
• We go to school every day.

Step 2: Explain the Concept with Simple Rules

Structure:
✅ Interrogative Sentences → Do/Does + Subject + V1 + Object?

✅ Affirmative Sentences → Subject + V1 + (s/es) + Object

✅ Negative Sentences → Subject + Do/Does + Not + V1 + Object

Examples:

• He plays football. (Affirmative)
• He does not play football. (Negative)
• Does he play football? (Interrogative)

💡 Interactive Approach:

• Ask students to form sentences about their habits.
• Example:
  • Teacher: "What does your mother cook for dinner?"
  • Student: "She cooks rice."
  • Teacher: "Turn it into a negative sentence."
  • Student: "She does not cook rice."
  • Teacher: "Make it a question."
  • Student: "Does she cook rice?"

Step 3: Use Role Play & Group Activities

🎭 Activity 1: Interview Game

• Pair up students. One acts as a reporter, the other as a celebrity/student/teacher.
• They ask and answer questions using the Present Indefinite Tense.

💬 Example:

• Reporter: "What do you do on Sundays?"
• Student: "I visit my grandparents."
• Reporter: "Where does your father work?"
• Student: "He works in a bank."

🎲 Activity 2: "Guess the Habit" Game

• One student describes a habit using the present tense.
• The others guess who they are talking about.

💡 Example:

• Student: "She teaches English and corrects grammar."
• Class: "Is it our English teacher?"

Step 4: Reinforce with a Fun Challenge

✅ Rapid-Fire Round: The teacher says a verb, and students quickly make a sentence.
✅ Correct the Mistake: Write wrong sentences on the board and ask students to correct them.
✅ Spoken Drill: Ask students to describe their routine in one minute using present tense.
