Grammar II
Teaching Objectives
● To develop a better understanding of the use of past continuous tense
● To understand the use of ‘when’ and ‘while’
Teaching Procedures
STEP 1 Reviewing the structure of past continuous tense
Ask the students what we learned yesterday to review the structure of past continuous tense.
STEP 2 Finding sentences
Read the passage below; find how many sentences are written in this tense.
There was a robbery at 151 River Street yesterday afternoon. Someone broke into every flat in the building when all were out. The man in Flat 1 wasn’t home. He was washing his clothes at the laundry ( 洗衣店 ). The woman in Flat 2 wasn’t home either. She was visiting a friend in the hospital. The people in Flat 3 were gone. They were having a picnic at the beach. The man in Flat 4 was out. He was playing tennis in the park. The college students in Flat 5 were away. They were watching a football game. And the elderly lady in Flat 6 was out of town. She was visiting her grandchild. Yesterday certainly was an unfortunate day for the people at 151 River Street. They had no idea that while they were away, robbers broke into every apartment in the building. |
STEP 3 Eliciting the structures with ‘when’ or ‘while’
Raise some questions about this passage to elicit the structures with ‘when’ or ‘while’.
What was the man in Flat doing when the robbery happened?
While the college students in Flat 5 were watching a football game, what was the woman in Flat 2 doing?
When sb.+ did sth., sb. was/were doing sth. While sb.+ was/were doing sth., sb. was/were doing sth. While/ when sb. was/were doing something. Sb. did sth. |
Write the structure on the board.
It is still difficult for the students to understand the structure. So it is important to give them more examples to help them understand it.
Get them to read the sentences in Part B, Page 101.
STEP 4 Explaining when we should use ‘while’ or ‘when’
Give more examples and then explain when we should use ‘while’ or ‘when’.
Emily was doing her homework while Steven was doing his project. 两个长动作同时进行 The light went out while Emily and Steven were working. 一个短动作（主句）在一个长动作（从句）的过程中发生。 When the phone rang, I was reading in my room. 短动作（从句）发生时，一个长动作（主句）当时正在进行。 We can also use the following diagrams to help.
