Picture the Present

Students read short picture-style descriptions (e.g., “A boy sits at a desk”) and then write one or two simple present tense sentences describing what is happening. This task encourages learners to visualize scenes and produce grammatically accurate sentences that match them. It strengthens descriptive writing skills, verb usage, and subject-verb agreement. Students practice forming short, complete sentences while connecting grammar to real-world scenarios. This activity is ideal for reinforcing everyday vocabulary and present-tense fluency.
