We shall discuss here only simple present, past, and future sentence.
How to teach present tense:
Present indefinite tense: A sentence is presented in simple present tense when it is used to describe an action that's happening at present and does not indicate when the action is expected to end. Simple present tense is used when:
·         The action that is taking place in general.
·         The action is not only occurring now; it repeats after regular intervals of time.
·         To indicate facts those are generally true.
·         The action for relating habits and routines that happen all the time, be it in the future, past or present.
Structure:
Verb "+s/es" form is used;
·         If subject is 3rd person singular. The verb is used in its original form;
·         If subject is 1st and/or 2nd person singular.
·         If subject is 1st and/or 2nd person plural.
·         If subject is 3rd person plural.
Some Examples:
·         The sun sets in the west.
·         All the cars stop at this crossing.
·         Michael teaches social studies in a school.
·         That notice reads, “No parking”.
·         Rajdhani leaves at seven in the morning.
·         The teacher said if she works hard she will pass.
·         There goes the taxi.
·         Do you play tennis?
·         He does not go to the temple.
·         Does he write novels?
Activities:
Present Simple tense activities are listed below:

Make me say “Yes, I do”
Students ask the teacher and then each other “Do you…?” questions and get one point for each positive answer but no points for “No, I don’t”. You may also want to allow questions with the Present Simple of “to be”. This is more fun if students work out that they can get points for asking really obvious questions like “Do you eat every day?” and “Do you sleep at night?” You can also get students to ask about their partners’ family members etc. to bring in 3rd person S.

Present Simple things in common
Students ask Present Simple questions to find things that are true for both/ all the people in their group such as “What’s your favourite fruit?” and “Do you watch TV every day?”, counting the things in common that they find. The team who have the most (maybe ten or eleven) things in common report back to the class with sentences like “We (both) eat toast for breakfast”, with the other groups allowed to object to grammar mistakes, things that aren’t actually true, two statements which are basically the same, or the group not reaching the number of statements that they claimed. If another team successfully objects, the same whole class feedback continues in the order of how many things in common each group claims that they found, e.g. with a group who found nine things next. This continues until one group manages to get through their list of things in common without other teams successfully objecting, in which case they win the game.
An alternate class feedback stage is for groups to get one point for each thing that they have in common but no other groups share.
Similar games can be played with students finding things that are different between them (much easier) or filling in a group of comparing and contrasting sentence stems like “Two of us…”, “None of us…”, “Only one of us…” and “One person …er than the others”.
Present Simple chicken
One student chooses an expression from the board or a worksheet and attempts to make true statements using it, e.g. “You brush your teeth twice a day”, “You drink coffee twice a day” and “You get the bus twice a day” for “twice a day”, or “You live in Tokyo”, “You live with your parents” and “You live in a house” for “live”. They get one point for each correct sentence but lose all their points for that round if they make a mistake, meaning they have to choose carefully when to give up and keep their points (like “sticking” in blackjack). Once anyone has attempted to use a word or expression, it can’t be used by anyone else.
You can also play a simpler version of this game where they don’t lose points but simply have to stop when they make a mistake.
Routines cultural differences bluff
If the students come from different places to each other and/ or the teacher, they can write a mix of true and false sentences about meals, sleeping habits etc. in those places. The false sentences can be completely made up, can be about different countries from that being described (e.g. “German people often have a siesta”), or just have different frequency expressions and/ or times to the real information (e.g. “British people almost never drink coffee”). Perhaps after asking questions to get more details, students guess which are true and which aren’t.
Present Simple bluff
One student makes a true or false statement about their routines or those of people they know such as family members and people in their neighbourhood. Perhaps after answering questions like “How often…?” and “Why do/ does…?”, the other people guess if the statement was true or not. They can continue to lie (hopefully convincingly) during the questioning stage.
Present Simple Q&A bluff below is a variation on this game.
Routines questionnaires
Students write questionnaires to find out how ecologically friendly, healthy, hardworking, stressed, kind, careful with money, tidy etc. their classmates are, with questions like “How often do you throw rubbish on the floor?” and “Do you have a bin in your bedroom?” They can also write (secret) scoring schemes to find out which of the people who answer the questionnaire have the best and worst results, passing their finished questionnaires back to the teams who wrote them to be “marked”. To help set the activity up, you could give them a similar questionnaire to answer, perhaps also getting them to guess the topic and/ or scoring system of the questionnaire. You could also give them some ideas for question stems and words to use.

Past indefinite tense:

It is used to express an action that happened or completed in past, usually a very little time before speaking, or action which is just completed. Time of action is not specified in terms of long time ago or short ago but it make a sense that the action has done a little time ago. For example, a person says, “I watched a movie”, it means the speaker of this sentence watched a movie a little time ago or little time ago in the same day.
Structure:
Second form of verb is used here.
In negative or interrogatives sentences use did+1st form
Sub+ 2nd form+ obj.
Did+ sub+1st form+obj.
Sub+did not+1st form+obj
Examples:
·         Katie worked in that office for almost four years.
·         He passed away in 1999.
·         We went for the movie yesterday.
·         Three years ago, I studied at the Canada University.
Activities:
There are some activities, video and worksheet mentioned here in these link related to past tense.
Charade Series
In an activity similar to charades, have your students describe the steps in a process after their classmate acts it out. Have one student pantomime an activity like brushing his teeth or writing and mailing a letter. Once the charade is over, have your students describe each step in the process using the simple past.
Dear Diary
Writing about their day is a good way for your students to practice the written form of the simple past. Have students write about what they did yesterday paying particular attention to transitions of time (next, then, after that, finally, etc.)
Accurate Endings
Don’t skip pronunciation when you are working on the simple past. Though regular verbs will take the –ed ending to show they occurred in the past, -ed will not be pronounced the same for every word. Brainstorm a list of regular verbs and then have your students sort them into two groups. The past pronunciation of one group sounds like [d] and the other like [t]. Challenge your students to articulate the rule which determines which pronunciation to use.
Preparations
Have groups of students talk about a significant accomplishment in their lives. After sharing the accomplishment, ask each person to describe what she did leading up to the event. For example, if she graduated college, she studied, took the appropriate classes and filled out her school’s paperwork.
Double Duty Review
How much do your students remember from class yesterday? Find out by asking them to tell you what you did in class yesterday using the simple past. If the majority of your class travelled overseas to study English, have them share what they did before they came to the U.S.
Good and Bad Days
As a class, brainstorm what makes a day great, and then make another list for what makes a day bad. Have pairs of students ask each other questions and give answers about a day in the past. For example, one student might ask, “Did you spill your coffee yesterday?” The other would answer, “No, I didn’t spill my coffee yesterday.” This is a great way to practice questions and negative use of the simple past.
Get Out and About
Get your students out of the classroom to freshen up your grammar lessons. Take a short walk outside your school, and have students take notes on what they observe. When you come back to the classroom, have your students share what they experienced on the walk using the simple past.

Future indefinite tense:
This tense is used for those sentences which refer to the actions which will occur later, in future. This requires a future tense auxiliary verb even though the verb would be unmarked.

Examples:
·         You will be done before me.
·         She will not come tomorrow.
·         Will you come to play with me after school?
·         will keep in touch with you.
·         will reach home by 7p.m.
·         He will stay with us for 3 days.
www1.amalnet.k12.il/ksaife/profession/english/.../future%20Simple.ppt

Activities:
There are some activities, video and worksheets related to future tense, in these links.
Have individual students write a quick list of five definite plans using be going to.
2)     Put students in pairs, and have them take turns stating their plans.  When partner A explains a plan, partner B should make a prediction.  When A’s list is exhausted, they can switch roles.  Partner B reads a statement with a plan, and A makes a prediction.
3)     While students practice, the teacher can listen for errors or misunderstandings and use the information for lesson planning or error correction.  The teacher can also extend the lesson to include will with probably, or use of the present progressive for future meaning depending on students’ accomplishments.
4)     As a follow up to any new material, students can switch partners and repeat with a new partner using the new language.
Five Year Plan
Have your students heard the expression ‘Five Year Plan’? Give them a chance to create a plan of their own. Once their plans are finished, give them a chance to share with the class what they will have done before those five years are complete, using the future tense in their sentences.
By the Time
English speakers use by the time to express a future event that will happen after another future event. Give pairs of students practice using this phrase with this conversation starter. One person offers a future event using by the time and the simple present, and the second person expresses a second event in the future tense that will happen on the other event. For example, Student A: ‘By the time I finish my ESL program’ Student B: ‘I will become fluent in English’. Then have students reverse roles.

Future Changes
What will the world be like in 100 years? What will happen by then? Have groups of students discuss what changes they think will happen in 100 years. They should practice using the future tense in their sentences. For example, ‘People will learn how to time travel’.
TV Predictions
Show your students the first half of any video available online. You may want to use something from YouTube or episodes of a sitcom available on network web sites. Show your students the first half of the program, and then ask them to make predictions as to what will happen by the end of the show. Watch the remainder of the video to let your students see if their predictions were correct.
The (Im)Perfect Date
What would one of your students have to do to be ready for a date with the man of her dreams? As a class, brainstorm all of the things she would need to do to be ready for her date at 7 p.m. the following evening, and as a class arrange those tasks in a timeline. How much time will your student need to be ready by seven? Now, tell your class that a flat tire has caused your student to be late in getting ready for her date. She lost 90 minutes changing her tire, but her dream date will still arrive at 7 p.m. Have your students make observations (based on your time line) what your student will do and will not do by the time Mr. Right Arrives.
Classmate Predictions
On several small slips of paper, have your students write anonymous predictions about their classmate’s futures using the future tense. They should not use their classmates’ names in the predictions. For example, ‘This person will have five children in five years’. Then have your students hand these predictions in and read each prediction in front of the class. Can the class guess who the prediction is about? Can they guess who wrote it?
To Do List
Have your students make a to-do list for today, this week or this month. Then, ask them to share with partners the things they will do in future to-do lists are complete.
My Evil Twin
Have your students imagine that they each have an evil twin. Have each person share what his evil twin will do up until a certain time today, this week, this month or this year. For example, one student might say, ‘My evil twin will be hunting puppies til 5 p.m. today.’
Ten Years From Now
What will your students have been doing ten years from now? For how long? Have each person write ten statements describing what he will have been doing and for how long between now and then. For example, ‘I will have been speaking English fluently for seven years at that time.’
All in a Days Work
Ask grou\ps of four students to brainstorm a list of between ten and twenty different careers. Then, using those careers, have the group write something a person with that career will have been doing four hours into his or her work shift. For example, ‘Sally, a teacher, will have been giving lessons to her students for four hours.’
A Busy Semester
What have your students been doing since the beginning of the semester or marking period? Ask them to list between five and ten activities. Then, challenge them to think about how long they will have been doing these activities once the semester ends. Have each person write a paragraph discussing these activities.
By the Time
Have students work in pairs to create sentences in the future tense. The first student starts by identifying a future time with the phrase. By the time followed by a sentence in the simple present. The second student must then complete the sentence with a main clause using the future tense For example, a complete sentence could be, ‘By the time I finish War and Peace, I shall read.
Cause and Effect
What might the cause of future events be? Have your students explain cause and effect relationships for present events using the future tense. Students should phrase the cause in the future tense and the effect in the simple present. For example, ‘Jane gets an A on Tuesdays test because she will study for three days when she takes it.’
Leaving a Mark
Ask your student to think about their lives, both what has already done and what is yet to come. By the end of their lives, what will they do to make the world a better place? What will they do to give their lives meaning? Have students share how they will leave their marks on the world by the end of their lives and how long they will do those things using the future tense.

Grade: seven
Topic: Four kinds of sentence and Application and letter
Material
The material used to teach the four kinds of sentence are worksheet and the videos. In application and letter sample and work sheet are used like material.
Objectives
a)      At the end students must familiar about the nouns and kinds of nouns.
b)      Students can differentiate the common and proper noun.
c)      Students know how to write the application and letter.
Noun:
All the parts of speech, nouns are perhaps the most important. A noun is a word that identifies a person, animal, place, thing, or idea. Here, we’ll take a closer look at what makes a noun a noun, and we’ll provide some noun examples, along with some advice for using nouns in your sentences.
Identifying a Noun
A noun is a part of speech that denotes a person, animal, place, thing, or idea. The English word noun has its roots in the Latin word nomen, which means “name.” Every language has words that are nouns. As you read the following explanations, think about some words that might fit into each category.
Person – A term for a person, whether proper name, gender, title, or class, is a noun.
Animal – A term for an animal, whether proper name, species, gender, or class is a noun.
Place – A term for a place, whether proper name, physical location, or general locale is a noun.
Thing – A term for a thing, whether it exists now, will exist, or existed in the past is a noun.
Idea – A term for an idea, be it a real, workable idea or a fantasy that might never come to fruition is a noun
Nouns Examples
Person – He is the person to see.
Person – John started to run.
Animal – The dog barked at the cat.
Place – The restaurant is open.
Thing – Throw the ball.
Idea – Love is a wonderful emotion.

Nouns Function
Nouns have several important functions. While it’s impossible to list them all here, we’ll go over the most important jobs nouns are tasked with.
Nouns are subjects. Every sentence has a subject, which is a noun that tells us what that sentence is all about. John swung the baseball bat.
Nouns are direct objects. These nouns receive action from verbs. John swung the baseball bat.
Nouns are indirect objects. These nouns receive the direct object. Brad threw John the ball.
Nouns are objects of prepositions. These nouns follow the prepositions in prepositional phrases. John swung the baseball bat at Greg.
Nouns are predicate nominatives. These nouns follow linking verbs and rename the subject. John is a baseball player.
Nouns are object complements. These nouns complete the direct object. They named their dog Max.
This is just the beginning. Be sure to dig deeper and explore more for additional information about nouns and even more noun examples.

Kinds of Noun
Common and Proper Noun
Common noun is that noun which the name people, places, things or ideas that are not specific.  For example: woman, city, dog and shoe
Proper noun is the name of specific people, places, things, or ideas. For example: Paris, Rover, Nike and Britney.
The difference between common and proper noun is that common nouns are not naming anything specific, they   do not need to start with a capital letter unless they begin a sentence but proper noun are naming specific things , they begin with a capital letter. Sometimes, they contain two or more important words.

Acticvity2:
a)      proper nouns
b)      civilized nouns
c)      common nouns
a)      Proper noun
b)      Common noun

Pronoun
A pronoun is a word that takes place of a noun.  I, me, he, she, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, etc all are pronouns. There are three types of pronouns: subject (for example he); object(for example him); or possessive(his).
Subject Pronoun
Subject pronouns are often (but not always) found at the beginning of a sentence. More precisely, the subject of a sentence is the person or thing that lives out the verb.
a)      He and I had a fight.
b)      He broke my kneecaps.
c)      To him, I must now pay my children’s college funds.
Object Pronouns
Object and object pronouns indicate the recipient of an action or motion. They come after verbs and prepositions (to, which, for, at, on, beside, under, around, etc.)
Examples of object pronouns:
a)      The guy I borrowed money from showed me a crowbar and told me to pay him immediately.
b)      I begged him for more time
c)      I tried to dodge the crowbar, but he hit me with it anyway.
d)     Use of Personal Pronouns.

In this lesson, we'll learn about pronouns in general, and take a look at two types of personal pronouns: subjective case and objective case pronouns. Knowing which case of pronoun you'll need can help you avoid common pronoun errors. A pronoun is a word that takes the place of or refers to a noun. You may recall that a noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea.
Possessive pronouns
Possessive pronouns are mine, yours, ours, theirs, his, here, its- are truly pronouns because they referred to previously named or understood noun. They stand alone, not followed by any other noun.
You have your voices, and I have mine.
Activity
Ball Game
Yet another activity would include having a near ball and standing or sitting in a circle. Randomly toss the ball to the student and have them say a sentence with at least one pronoun in it. Once they complete the task have them toss the ball to another student and so forth and so forth.
Power Point Presentations
If you really want to get creative, you can create a power point presentation that you would present to the class. Each slide should feature a floating pronoun. Have the students identify both the flying pronoun and any other pronouns that they see. The nice thing about the Power Point presentation is that you can always print it out as a handout for students to take home. You can also reuse it as a handout when delivering a standard pronoun lesson

Moral and interesting stories:
1)      A Thirsty Crow
http://www.isamaj.com/kidzcorner/stories/images/crow.jpg

Activity:

Spend [at least] 15 minutes of uninterrupted time reenacting a favorite story of your child's!
What we did:
We reenacted our favorite fable "The Thirsty Crow". It's one of my favorite childhood story.
Materials used:
Measuring cup or a clear cup
Stones, pebbles, Almonds
Water
The story!
There was once a thirsty crow. She looked for water here and there. At last she found a pot of water. But the pot had very little water at the bottom and the crow was unable to drink it. She picked up some stones and dropped them into the pot one by one. The water came up! The crow drank the water and flew away happily!
In the story, the clever crow drops pebbles into the pot/pitcher to cause the water level to rise. I thought it would be a cool activity to explain water displacement and buoyancy. But CJ was least interested to know the reason. She was having more fun playing and experimenting. First we used Almonds because I was not sure whether CJ will get too involved in the story and drink the water.
We filled a measuring cup with water to a level. you can also use a clear cup and mark the water level with a marker. Then we dropped the almonds bunch by bunch. As we added, the water level increased. Finally the water came up and as expected my crow did want to drink the water :-)
1: The crow found a cup of water. But there was a little water and the crow was unable to drink.
2 & 3: She dropped the almonds one by one and the water level increased
4: The crow drank the water and flew away happily
We gave it a try with tiny rocks too.
Water level came up!

2)      A Greedy Dog


The Dog and his Reflection
A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror. But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.
If he had stopped to think he would have known better. But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore. At last he managed to climb out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had been.
It is very foolish to be greedy.
