Dear Emaratia,

I don яПНt understand your question exactly.

However:

First, with the verb, яПНto GOяПН.

Present Simple:

"Every day, I go to school".

"Every day, you go to school".

"Every day, he goes to school".

"Every day, she goes to school".

"Every day, it goes to school".

"Every day, we go to school".

"Every day, they go to school".

Present Progressive (or Present Continuous):

"Now, I am going to school".

"Now, you are going to school".

"Now, he is going to school".

"Now, she is going to school".

"Now, it is going to school".

"Now, they are going to school".

Past Simple:

"Yesterday, I went to school".

"Yesterday, you went to school".

"Yesterday, he went to school".

"Yesterday, she went to school".

"Yesterday, it went to school".

"Yesterday, we went to school".

"Yesterday, they went to school".

Present Perfect:

"I have gone to school".

"You have gone to school".

"He has gone to school".

"She has gone to school".

"It has gone to school".

"We have gone to school".

"They have gone to school".

Second, with the verb, яПНto BEяПН.

Present Simple:

"Every day, I am friendly".

"Every day, you are friendly".

"Every day, he is friendly".

"Every day, she is friendly".

"Every day, it is friendly".

"Every day, we are friendly".

"Every day, they are friendly".

Present Progressive (or Present Continuous):

"Now, I am being friendly".

"Now, you are being friendly".

"Now, he is being friendly".

"Now, she is being friendly".

"Now, it is being friendly".

"Now, we are being friendly".

"Now, they are being friendly".

Past Simple:

"Yesterday, I was friendly".

"Yesterday, you were friendly".

"Yesterday, he was friendly".

"Yesterday, she was friendly".

"Yesterday, it was friendly".

for whiteboard consolidation, i would say idthe....... wrote them nicely.

Every day, i think that you meant daily activities / habit

there are so many worksheets or handouts from simple present section.

you gotta prepare the picture or you can draw the activities like get up, wash face, have breakfast, go to school, get in the bus, study at school, etc.

now (i guess on going activities)

you may prepare a nice lesson plan for this. the keyword is "at the present/moment"

make it different from everyday activities

Sarah is eating now

yesterday (adv of time is important)

if you teach on december 23

tell your students that the action was on december 22

Sarah ate meat ball yesterday.

SMILE!

big cheers
