p. 10 - Read “Life in Color”
With your partner, try to think of a few more examples of people using color in the ways from the article.
identity: passport colors, gang colors, Amish clothing, flag colors, colorful saris, brand identities

Grammar: present tenses
- What tense is the paragraph about identity? simple present
- What tense are most of the verbs about decoration? present continuous
- Why?
Present continuous describes something that is happening (in progress) “now” (including the moment a picture was taken as well as the extended present of “these days”).
Simple present describes actions that happen regularly or repeatedly (such as habits and routines), or things that are “always” true, or states (non-action verbs).
---
Form of simple present:
+	I live in Boston. She lives in Boston.
-	I don’t live in NYC. She doesn’t live in NYC.
? y/n	Do you live in Boston? Does she live in Boston?
	Yes, I do./No, I don’t. Yes, she does./No, she doesn’.
info-	Where do you live? Where does she live?
(subject question: Who lives in this house? How many people study at this school?)
---
Form of present continuous: ([be] + verb+ing)
+	I am living in Boston. She is living in Boston. They are living in Boston.
-	I’m not living in NYC. She’s not living in NYC. They’re not living in NYC.
? y/n	Am I living in Boston? Is she living in Boston? Are they living in Boston?
	Yes, I am./No, I’m not. Yes, she is./No, she’s not. Yes, they are./No, they’re not.
info-	Where am I living? Where is she living? Where are they living?
(subject questions: Who is living in Boston? How many people are studying in this class?)
---
Present (simple and continuous) can also be used with future meaning:
I’m going to Boston next week. = I have plans and arrangements for the trip.
I go to Boston next week. = I have specific scheduled travel plans.

Dynamic (action) and stative (non-action) verbs
---
Dynamic verbs are actions that you can start or stop and which require some time (duration) to do.
	(You could say actions occupy your mind and/or body.)
Stative verbs are not actions. You don’t need to take any time to be in a particular state.
- Stative verbs (verbs with stative meaning) cannot be used in the continuous.
---
Some verbs have stative and dynamic meanings.
I think Boston is too cold. (think=believe is a stative verb)
I’m thinking about my last vacation. (this is a dynamic verb)
	I’m remembering something. = I’m thinking about something from the past.
I have two computers. (have=own/possess is a stative verb)
I’m having pasta for lunch. (have=eat is a dynamic verb)
She’s having a baby. (have=bear is dynamic)
He’s not having a good time. (have=experience is dynamic)
I love dogs. (This is my opinion, stative.)
I’m loving this movie. (love=enjoy is dynamic and informal)
I come from Michigan. (“come” for origin is stative)
She’s coming from Michigan. Her plane will arrive in an hour. (“come” for travel is dynamic)
