wharf (n) valley (n)            prison (n)-prisoner (n)
carve (v) situate (v)- situation (n)= locate (v)-location (n)

Students scan the text and do the exercises 1 and 2/ pages 117-118.

1. Present progressive tenses (Students review how to use this tense: you ‘ve learnt 2 usages)

Formation:   (+) S + am/ is/ are + V-ing...
        (?)  __________________?
                    (-)  __________________
Signs: now, ____________, ______________.
Students look at these examples in order to recognize how to use this tense:
Ex 1. What are you doing now?-I’m listening to music. (the 1st  usage/ cách dùng thứ 1)
     2.  I’m playing chess with my close friend tonight. (the 2nd usage/ cách dùng thứ 2)
Students give  examples.
Present progressive with “always”(the 3rd usage/ cách dùng thứ 3 của thì httd với trạng từ “always”) :

(+) S + am/ is/ are + always + V-ing...

Cách dùng (thứ 3): Chúng ta dùng thì hiện tại tiếp diễn với “always” khi phàn nàn, hoặc biểu lộ sự bực mình hay tức giận. Những từ cùng nghĩa như: forever, constantly cũng được dùng trong những trường hợp này.
Ex 1.    Mary is always leaving her dirty socks on the floor for me to pick up!
Ex2.    I am always/forerver/constantly picking up Mary's dirtv socks!
Students do exercise  3/ page 120.

2. Past progressive tense (Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn)
+ Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn diễn tả một hành động đang diễn ra tại một thời điểm cụ thể trong quả khứ.
*  Formation:

(+) S + was/ were + V-ing...
     (?) Was/ Were + S + V-ing...?
Yes, S + was/ were./ No, S + wasn’t/ weren’t.
(-)  S + was/ were + not + V-ing...

* Signs:
- Adverb of time(trạng từ chỉ thời gian): at this time/ at that time/ at 8 o’clock... + ago/ yesterday/ last..
Ex 1. At this time yesterday, I was reading a comic.
Ex2. We were watching TV at 8 last night.
-Conjunctions (liên từ): when (khi) and  while (trong khi)
“When + S + V-ed/V2 (qkđ)..., S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)... “
OR “S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)... when + S + V-ed/V2 (qkđ)..., (Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn còn diễn tả một hành động đang diễn ra tại một thời điếm cụ thể trong quá khứ thì có một hành động khác xảy đến hoặc làm gián đoạn).
“S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)...+ while + S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)...”
OR “While + S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)...,  S +was/ were + V-ing (qktd)...” ( Thì quá khứ tiếp diễn còn diễn tả hai hành động song song cùng diễn ra một lúc tại một thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ).
Ex 1. When Tom arrived, we were having dinner.
Ex 2.  While I was having a bath, the telephone rang.
Ex 3.  While I was studying my lesson,  my younger sister was practising her piano lesson.
