Concepts

present participles, participles

Additional Tags

progressive, progressive verb form, present participle, Present Progressive, imperfect progressive, preterite progressive, Spanish, stem changing verb, science

Pros

  • Links to an online interactive practice exercise called Practiquemos! that is useful for any Spanish verb tense
  • Includes several methods for teaching the progressive: direct instruction to read, summarized reference page, and a presentation

Cons

  • This will probably be too much information for beginning Spanish speakers to digest all at once; consider breaking it up to help pupils succeed
  • You will likely need to supplement each concept with additional in-class practice and instruction since this is more of an overview than a sequenced plan
