Sophie TS #14- Fahad

For my next tutoring session with Fahad I decided to focus on verb tenses, because I noticed in our text messages that that was one thing he could really improve on. I began by just going through the list of all 12 tenses in English, and briefly explained each one and gave an example. For the ones used most often in casual conversations or texting I tried to give a little more explanation and examples for. Then we went through our text conversations, and I had Fahad look for mistakes with verbs and prompted him to fix them. For the mistakes he missed the first time around, I went back and pointed them out and had him do the same thing with the others. Even though it wasn't the most structured exercise, I think we both really liked it because it was realistic and based off of actual conversation. After that I came up with a few sentences off the top of my head and asked Fahad to identify which verb tense I was using. Again, it was informal, but I think it worked for a quick review!
