ESL: Practice Using Present Progressive Tense

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Small, cartoonish pictures of people expressing emotions and actions (blowing his nose, holding her head and frowning, dancing, smiling) provide the basis for writers to describe the feelings and experiences taking place. Help your ESL writers practice using the present progressive tense. Title is "That's Too Bad," but several pictures are of smiling people.
