Describing what others do everyday (Part 3)

In this link there is a video.  We can see an example of a daily routine (Melina's daily routine) using third person singular, that is when we talk about others (he, she).

Watch it carefully and then post, in the "comments" section, the daily routine of a family member.  Remember the "s" in  verbs for affirmative statements, or "doesn't" for negative ones.

Talking about actions in progress (3)

What are the people in the picture doing?
Look at this picture and say what every person or animal is doing.

Talking about actions in progress (1)

If you want to talk about what is happening AT THE MOMENT, you have to use the Present Continuous Tense.
This Tense needs the verb To Be (AM-IS-ARE)  and a verb in gerund (-ing).
Examples:  My dad is playing the guitar at the moment
                 I'm watching my favorite program now
