SONG: LEMON TREE

THE -ING IN PROGRESSIVE VERB TENSES

This is my favourite song to practise and/or revise the structure and formation of a progressive verb at any level from A1 - B2. It is quite simple to understand for all levels and fun to, especially if you play the animation video. It is also a good song to mime the actions mentioned in the lyrics. 

LEMON TREE Lyrics - FOOLS GARDEN

                    I'm ............... here in a boring room

                  It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

                  I'm .................... my time, I got nothing to do

                  I'm ................. around, I'm waiting for you

                  But nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

                  I'm .................... around in my car

                  I'm ....................... too fast, I'm ..................... too far

                  I'd like to change my point of view

                  I feel so lonely, I'm ................... for you

                  But nothing ever happens, and I wonder

                  (Chorus)

                  I wonder how, I wonder why

                  Yesterday you .............. me 'bout the blue blue sky

                  And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

                  I'm ................. my head up and down

                  I'm ..............., ............., ................, ..............., ................ around

          And all that I can see is just another yellow

          lemon tree

                  sing! La, la da dee da, etc.

                  I'm .................... here, I miss the power

                  I'd like to go out ................... a shower

                  But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

                  I feel so tired, put myself into bed

                  Where nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

                  Isolation is not good for me

                  Isolation -- I don't want to sit on a lemon tree

                  I'm ..................... around in a desert of joy

                  Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

                  And everything will happen -- and you'll wonder

B2.1 MINI LESSON ON QUANTIFIERS

QUANTIFIERS

This mini-lesson gives a very clear explanation of how to use quantifiers. The students not only learn the grammar but also practise their listening comprehension and use their visual skills to remember better how to put them into practise.
