Introduction: Begin the lesson by asking students to think about how they use language to communicate. Ask them to consider how they use different tenses to convey different meanings. Explain that today’s lesson will focus on grammatical tenses and how they are used in English.

Lesson Outline: 1. Review the three main tenses: past, present, and future. 2. Discuss the different forms of each tense (simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous). 3. Provide examples of each tense and form. 4. Discuss the importance of using the correct tense in writing and speaking. 5. Practice using different tenses in sentences and paragraphs.

Questioning: Throughout the lesson, ask students questions to check their understanding and encourage participation. Some sample questions include: - What is the difference between the simple past and the past continuous? - How do you form the present perfect tense? - Why is it important to use the correct tense in writing?

Assessment: To assess students’ understanding of grammatical tenses, provide a worksheet with sentences that require them to identify the correct tense. You can also ask them to write a short paragraph using different tenses.

Differentiation: To differentiate the lesson for different learning styles and abilities, provide visual aids such as diagrams or charts to help students understand the different tenses. You can also provide additional resources for students who need extra support, such as video tutorials or simplified explanations.

Plenary: End the lesson by asking students to reflect on what they have learned about grammatical tenses. Ask them to share one thing they found interesting or useful from the lesson. You can also provide a summary of the key points covered in the lesson.
