Show the Ss the slide show of the story of what I did yesterday. Have the Ss come to the WB to underline the grammar being used. Instruct: Which verb is being used a lot/ many times in this text? Please come to the board and underline the verb being used.

-When Ss have underlined all the past simple of be on the WB, turn off the projector and hand out the HO of the text. -Draw up a timeline to demonstrate that be in the past simple is used to describe things that started and finished in the past. Elicit from the Ss the sentences which use the past simple of be and write these under the timeline. Once all the past simple has been written up try and elicit from the Ss what the present simple of each of the sentences would be. (See white board plan for timeline) Concept Check Questions: Am I at home now? No Am I tired now? No (maybe) -Once the timeline has been established, write up the rules for positive and negative uses of be in past simple (see whiteboard plan)
