p. 9 parts 2 and 3 - Discuss the questions in pairs.

p. 10 - How are the people in the pictures using colors? Read the article.
What are the three ways we use colors according to the reading? What is an example of each not in the reading?
1 identity: national flags, uniforms, makeup, tattoos, bridesmaids wearing the same color
2 decoration: parties, in a club, body painting, tattoos
3 messages: traffic signs and lights, representations of political parties, warnings, to help with learning, bridesmaids
---
What tense is used in the “Identity” paragraph? - simple present
The “Decoration” paragraph? - present continuous
Why?

simple present: habits and routines (repeated actions), permanent situations, facts that are always true, states and conditions
present continuous: something that is happening in this moment (started before now and continues after now), must be an action (dynamic) verb

Stative (non-action) verbs: Verbs that describe a state or condition, which we don’t use in continuous forms. Stative verbs don’t take any time.
Dynamic (action) verbs: Verbs that describe an action or event, which we can use in continuous forms. Action verbs take (possibly a very small amount of) time.

Continuous sentences means now we’re in the middle of the time for a dynamic verb.

Every day at 7pm, I eat dinner. = At 7pm I start dinner.
Every day at 7pm, I am eating dinner. = At 7pm I’m in the middle of dinner.
---
part 6 - Put the other stative verbs in the correct categories. Then try to think of another verb for each category.
thoughts/mental processes: believe, know, understand, mean, suppose, think
the senses: hear, sound, taste, feel, see, smell
emotions: want, love, need, hate
possession: have, contain, belong, own, possess
