Default Re: Present tense forms - easy explanations

I like to apply these two functions using schedules and roll calls. For present tense (statements of routine), schedules are a great fit. Students can discuss what they or famous people do at certain times of the day. For present continuous (the "now" tense), I like to use a roll call. Instead of calling at the names of your students, though, I call out the names of people who aren't there:
Teacher: Is Madonna here?
Student: No, she isn't. She is ______ing now.
