How to practice adjectives, past and present tense.

Zia

Hi everyone!
Here's a quick way you can practice your past and present tenses plus your adjectives!
Talk about celebrities. 
You can talk about their looks, their movies, their spouses (partners). Talk about what they are doing now versus what they did in the past. 

For example;
Did you hear about Andy MacDowell? She was in Four Weddings and a Funeral. She has wavy black hair, and pale skin. I think she is American. She is now retired and living the single life in South Carolina now that she is an empty-nester (a parent who doesn't have kids living with them anymore). She used to be famous but now her daughter is famous.

See that I used past and present tenses ("is", "was") as well as present continuous ("is living") as well as adjectives to describe her hair and skin ("wavy", "pale").




Happy gossiping! :-)

Here is a class to take if you want to practice your past and present and present continuous tenses more fully:
