Grammar + Speaking

🔥 Warm-Up
Вспоминаем уроки 1 и 2!
Отвечай полными предложениями! Подумай — это привычка или прямо сейчас? 🤔
⚡ Present Simple
✅ Habits & facts
📌 always, usually, every day
She works every day.
🎬 Present Continuous
✅ Happening right NOW
📌 now, right now, at the moment

📘 Theory
Контраст — главное в этом уроке!
⚡ Simple — FORMULA
I work
She works
I don't / She doesn't + verb
Do I / Does she + verb?
🎬 Continuous — FORMULA
I am working
She is working
I'm not / She isn't + verb-ing
Am I / Is she + verb-ing?

Слова-маркеры — твои подсказки!
⚡ Present Simple:
always
usually

sometimes
never
every day
on Mondays
in the morning
🎬 Present Continuous:

🃏 Activity 1: Two Truths!
Say 2 true sentences about yourself:

👉 One with Present Simple (habit or fact)
👉 One with Present Continuous (happening now or this week)

Your partner says which is which! ⚡ or 🎬?
2 правдивых предложения о себе — одно Simple, одно Continuous. Партнёр угадывает!
🔄 Activity 2: What's the Difference?
Explain the difference between these pairs in your own words:

⚡ "I live in Moscow."  vs  🎬 "I'm living in Moscow."
⚡ "She drinks coffee."  vs  🎬 "She's drinking coffee."
⚡ "He works from home."  vs  🎬 "He's working from home."
Объясни разницу между парами предложений своими словами!
📖 Activity 3: Story Time
Look at this scene and talk for 60 seconds:

🏡 It's 8pm. The family is at home.
👨 Dad — sofa, newspaper    👩 Mum — kitchen, cooking
👦 Son — room, video games    🐕 Dog — garden

Use BOTH tenses! Example: "The dad usually reads in the evening. Right now he is reading a newspaper."
Опиши сцену — используй оба времени! Simple для привычек, Continuous для того что сейчас.
