Naty and I met in front of Strozier because the weather was beautiful today. Since we barely scratched the surface last time, I made a worksheet to help her understand how prepositions change the meaning of many verbs. I included terms like "give up, give out, give away, get to, get out, get away, etc." For each term, I wrote an example sentence and then the definition. (ex. Give up: "You've worked so hard for this... don't give up now!" = to quit; stop trying) We read the sentence together and if she was still confused about the definition I explained it in more detail. Then Naty came up with her own sentence for each one.
Next, we worked on the past simple and past progressive until it was time to walk to the cinema. I drew a chart with verbs in the left column, a blank middle column for the past simple, and a blank right column for the past continuous. For each verb, we came up with & wrote down a sentence for both tenses. The difficulty for her is when the tenses are combined in one sentence, so I gave her a couple formulas like "walk... when... see," for which she had to create a sentence using both past simple and past continuous. Something like "I was walking (PC) when I saw (PS) the accident." I was happy to see her improve the more we practiced.
