Text-Based Presentation of Language #2 - Elementary level

Text-Based Presentation of Language #2
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson students will learn about the past form of be "was" and "were" in both singular and plural form. They will also learn the negative form "wasn't" and "weren't" along with the proper use of "there" (he was there, she was there, etc). I will clarify the meaning, pronunciation and form so that students will have a better understanding on how to use the past tense and learn and apply them during activities.
