Begin the lesson by showing a picture of a city intersection with traffic lights. 2. Ask students to describe what they see in the picture and elicit relevant vocabulary related to traffic lights, cars, and intersections. 3. Generate a brief discussion by asking questions like: “What do you think is happening in the picture?” or “Have you ever had an encounter with a car while crossing the road?” Introduction to the past continuous tense: 1) Write the sentence “While the lights were changing to red, a car suddenly appeared” on the board. 2) Ask students if they can identify the action that was happening and the event that interrupted it. 3) Explain that the sentence uses the past continuous tense to describe an ongoing action in the past and an interruption by another event. 4) Provide more examples on the board, such as “I was studying when my friend called” or “She was cooking dinner when the power went out,” to illustrate the concept further. 5) Discuss the formation of the past continuous tense using the verb “to be” as the auxiliary verb and the main verb in its “-ing” form. Guided practice : 1. Distribute handouts with exercises focusing on the past continuous tense. 2. Ask students to complete the sentences using the correct form of the verb in the past continuous tense. 3. Monitor students’ progress and provide assistance as needed. 4. Review the answers together as a class, discussing any common errors or misconceptions. Speaking activity : 1) Divide students into pairs or small groups. 2) Provide them with a scenario sheet or cards describing different situations. 3) In their groups, students take turns describing what they were doing when a specific event occurred.
