Daily Routines
Simple Present Formation
Here is a picture with some daily routines so that you can practice making sentences with different pronouns.
You can also use negative forms.
Listening Activity: Listen to the following video in which you will see real people talking about their daily routines and take some notes on the expressions used to talk about everyday life activities.
Present Continuous TO BE + V- ING
The same way as with Batman and Robin. The verb to be and the "ing" ending always go together in the present continuous.
Never skip the verb to be nor the "ing" in this kind of sentences, otherwise you break up the Dynamic Duo.
Example:
Correct: They are waiting for Superman.
Incorrect: A: They waiting for Superman.
B: They are wait for Superman.
In option A you are skipping the verb tobe (Represented by Batman) and in Option B, you are skipping the "ing" ending( Represented by Robin)Paragraph.
