Present Simple or Continuous Jeopardy – Level 2
Present Simple or Continuous Jeopardy Level 2 takes the same two tenses further. Thirty-five questions are split into five categories, and the price of a square says how hard the question behind it is: 100 is a warm-up, 700 makes the class think.
- Use of the tenses – a timetable, a temporary situation, a law of nature: why is this tense here?
- Time expressions – the tense is given; choose the expression that can stand next to it
- State verbs – have, look, think, smell and be, which change meaning in the continuous
- Simple or continuous – put the verb into the gap in the right form
- Adverbs of frequency – where in the sentence do always, often and never go?
Level 1 is about the plain contrast between a habit and what is happening at the moment; this board is about everything the contrast does not cover. It suits a class that already gets the basic choice right and keeps stumbling on “I am thinking” and “he is being polite”.
