The use of WHILE and WHEN as connectors

Hi guys! I hope you all are doing great. Today's topic will be about the use of WHILE AND WHEN AS CONNECTORS in the Present and the Past. This time, we are going to go beyond the simple use of these tenses separately. We will practice expressing two actions happening at the same time, which will be very helpful as you need to describe situations and actions that occur simultaneously.

Let's start, as usual, with an introductory video that will help us understand quite easily how to use these two connectors in English. Here we go.

Video Time

English of BAMF's YouTube channel.

Remember that you can use these videos like textbooks.

Working on the Present Continuous Tense: STARTERS

Hi, guys! How is everything doing? I hope, GOOD. Today's layout is focused on the Present Continuous Tense. This time, we will be practicing PC through an amusing story. CLASSMATES deal with what happens in a class where kids are laughing over something quite unusual, which is disturbing on a typical day. Let's find out what it is.

To go to the story, we need to click on the following key. Then, I will play the story for you. Pay attention and read carefully. If you find any new words that are unfamiliar to you in the text, take note of them and ask your teacher. Time is running, guys, let's commence. 

If you have finished the worksheet linked to the story, you can keep it saved for further use. Remember that you could read this story several times to learn its vocabulary and grammar. Besides, you could practice pronunciation by reading aloud. Last, you can share it with your classmates and friends. Spreading knowledge is and will always be the very best present of any day. See you in class, guys.

High fives, monsters!
