Welcome! July 8 Review and Expansion (R & E)

It's nice to meet you!

Tonight, we met.

Some of us played a game.  We wrote two true and one fiction statement about ourselves and guessed which one wasn't true.

We did a quick needs assessment for writing and grammar.

We talked about when to say "have" or "having."  Never use "having" when have means possession. You can use to be + "having" for eating or experiencing.  She's having a baby means she's pregnant.
Expansion:  Using present or present progressive.  Video Example--Using present and present continuous dialog examples
Detailed explanation with examples
Quiz (Note:  We usually use simple present with always and never, but not with strong negative emotion.  Using present continuous with always and never gives it extra emphasis.)

At your requests, we talked about using present progressive for the future.
Plans: What is Jen doing this week?


At your request, we talked about to, two, and too.
