Mission: I SPY

Decrypting the Interaction of Tenses...

🕵️‍♂️ Phase 1: The Interrogation

Let's break the ice. Can you spot the liar?

"The Undercover Agent"

A good spy knows how to lie. Write down 3 things you did last weekend.
Two must be true, and one must be a LIE.

Example: "I watched a movie. I ate pizza. I met the President."

Your classmates will interrogate you to find the lie!

🧩 Interaction of Tenses (How to tell a story)

1. Setting the Scene (Past Continuous):
Use this to describe what was happening in the background.
"I was sitting on the train..."
2. The Action (Simple Past):
Use this for sudden events that interrupt the background or move the story forward.
"...a suspicious man walked in."
3. Background Experience (Present Perfect):
Use this to connect past experiences to the present moment.
"I have never seen my dad act like that."
4. Facts & Routines (Simple Present):
Use this for general truths.
"A spy travels around the world."
