IN THE BATHROOM (PRESENT CONTINUOUS)
Hi,
There were no posts last week because I was at Lake Balaton and I did not take my laptop or tablet with me. I am still on holiday, but today I am at home, so here's the new post.
In this lesson you can practise the 'Present Continuous' (Folyamatos jelen). We use the Present Continuous to talk about NOW. Do you remember?
Examples:
I am working on my computer.
You are reading this post.
The sun is shining.
We are learning English.
-------------------------------------------------
You can read a short joke about a girl who is standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom. Then you can practise grammar and words. (Answers are at the end of the post).
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
