1. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to distinguish Present Simple from Present Continuous by time markers and verb forms with 85% accuracy in written exercises.

3. Students will be able to analyse a short text, find and correct tense errors, and justify the choice of the tense (extended level).

Step-by-step teacher actions and dialogue:

1. Display two projected photos: a girl playing the dombra at a concert with a “NOW” icon and the same girl playing chess with a clock icon “every weekend”.
2. Say: “Look at Aisha. She is playing the dombra right now, but she plays chess every weekend. What is the grammar difference? Predict: when do we use each form?”
3. Elicit students’ predictions, writing key words on the board (e.g., routine, now, every day, at the moment).
4. Announce the lesson goal: “Today you will learn to choose between Present Simple and Present Continuous when talking about hobbies and qualities.”
5. Ask a final prediction question: “Why do we need both tenses to describe our hobbies?”

Possible student responses: “The second one is every day”, “We use -ing for now”, “Both are about actions.”

• Look at the pictures and listen.
• Volunteer predictions: “The second is routine”, “Now we use -ing.”
• Write the lesson goal in copybooks.

• ✔ Contributes an idea or prediction.
• ✔ Identifies at least one time marker (every week, now).
• ✔ Uses “Present Simple” or “Present Continuous” (even approximately).
