p. 9 - parts 2 and 3 - discuss the questions in groups of three
---
p. 10 - read the article about “Life in Color”
http://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/color-picker.htm - hue, saturation, and value for different colors
In this article, pairs like hue/color and dress/clothing are used as exact synonyms in order to avoid repeating the same word. (In other contexts they have different meanings.)
---
outfit - the set of clothing you wear at one time (especially if you chose each thing to go together)
---
Do you use colors for these purposes in your own life?
---
What tense is used in the paragraph about identity? - simple present
What main tense is in the paragraph about decoration? - present continuous
Why? The “decoration” paragraph describes what is happening in the moment of the picture. The identity paragraph describes what happens generally or repeatedly.
---
past/present/future
continuous = [be] + verb(ing) (this is also called “progressive”)
perfect = [have] + past participle (the 3rd form)

past/present/future + perfect/not perfect + continuous/simple = 12 total combinations
(We sometimes use “aspect” to describe when an action is perfect or continuous or simple.)
---
this book here / these books here
that book there / those books there
---
I can do this. / You can do this. = We are doing the action right now. This is for motivation.
I can do that. / You can do that. = We’re talking about an action we will do later.
---
Some verbs take time, others don’t.
I read 2 books a week. / I read 100 books a week. (This would be strange)
I have 2 books now. / I have 100 books. / I have 1000 books. (It doesn’t take any time to have a book, so there’s no limit.)

If a verb takes time, we can use it in the continuous. (I am reading a book right now.)
If it doesn’t take time, we can’t use it in the continuous. (*I am having a book right now.)
---
BREAK
---
Verbs that don’t take time (and can’t be in continuous) are stative verbs. (non-action)
Verbs that take time (and can be in continuous) are dynamic verbs. (action)
---
p. 11 part 6 - put the stative verbs into the correct categories in the chart
thoughts/mental processes: believe, mean, understand, know, suppose
senses: hear, sound, taste, feel, see, smell, look
emotions: want, love, need
possession: have, belong, contain
---
look, smell, feel, and taste can be stative or dynamic
I taste the food. (dynamic)
The food tastes good. (stative)

I see it. = I perceive it but may not be paying attention.
I look at it. = I focus on it, to notice the appearance.
I watch it. = I focus on it, to notice actions and changes.

I hear it. = I perceive it but may not be paying attention.
I listen to it. = I focus on it.
---
A lot of words can be either stative or dynamic.

“Hue” means something very similar to “color”. (stative)
I’ve been meaning to talk to you. (dynamic, something like “intending”)

I have 12 students in my class. (stative)
I’m having lunch right now. I’m having a party tomorrow. She’s having a baby. They’re having fun. (dynamic)

I think she’s great. (stative - belief or opinion)
I’m thinking about sentences with “think” right now. (dynamic - cognition)

I love shopping. (stative)
I’m loving this food. (dynamic - informal, like “enjoying”)
