ESO2 THE JETSONS (PART 2)

It's kind of funny to see how most of you enjoyed The Jetsons, specially when some of you complained because they "looked old" - which I suppose meant they couldn't be good.

Well, I'm happy to see that at least we have The Jetsons in common.

As most of you wanted to see the second part, here it goes.

ESO2 OPTATIVA PRESENT SIMPLE VS. PRESENT CONTINUOUS

As you have seen this morning, there is a presentation to revise the present simple and another one to revise the present continuous. If you use them separately it's quite easy to know how to use them, but what happens when we mix them? How do you know which one to use?

Get in pairs and prepare a presentation to teach in class the difference between the present simple and the present continuous. I'm sure you will find some examples in www.slideshare.com.

Oh, come on! Don't complain! I know it's difficult, but try to be original.
