Step 2 Presentation
1. Presentation of the simple present tense.
T: In English, the verb “be” is also called the linking verb. It has three different forms: “am”,“is” and “are”in the simple present tense. We use one of them according to the different forms of subjects. We can use “be” to talk about the fact and the present state. For example, I am from Wuxi. Her hair is long. We are happy. Different subjects have different forms of the verb “be”.
2. Present the three forms of the verb “be”: am, is, are. (1) Present when to use “am”, and how to use “am”. (2) Present when to use “is”, and how to use “is”. (3) Present when to use “are”, and how to use “are”.
3. Make a conclusion about the proper usage of the three forms of “be”. 4. Play a game.
Present different subject forms in a short time, and ask students to tell am/is/are as quickly as possible. (you, he, my brothers, his friend, our parents, Lucy’s cat, I, her teachers) 5. Present the usage of the negative forms with the verb “be” in the simple present tense. 6. Present the usage of the question forms with the verb “be” in the simple present tense. 【设计意图：逐个单独呈现知识点并加以强调，再以朗朗上口的口诀形式使学生迅速掌握并记忆，最后以小练习巩固成果。】
