- p. 9 parts 2-3 - Discuss the questions with your partner. (In part 2, what do you associate with these colors. In part 3, answer the 3 questions.)
- ---
- p. 10 - Read the article "Life in Color"
- With your partner, think of some other ways people use colors for the three purposes described in the article.
- identity - flags (including community flags like the rainbow flag) and national colors, team colors, uniforms for work and school, royal colors
- decoration - weddings, Christmas (and other holidays and national days), buildings
- messages - traffic lights and signs, emergencies, building exits, peace/surrender, messages of identity, mourning (like black at a funeral), transportation (subway lines, bus lines, etc.)
- ---
- Grammar: simple present and present continuous (= present progressive)
- In the "identity" paragraph, the verbs are simple present because they are about things that are always true.
- In the "decoration" paragraph, most of the verbs are present continuous because they are about things happening "right now" (at the moment the picture was taken).
- "The 'in' color changes every season." - not continuous
- - This is about something that happens repeatedly, not just right now.
- form - simple present
- + subj + verb (base form or +s)
- They live in Boston. / He lives in Boston.
- - subj + don't/doesn't + base form
- They don't live in NYC. / He doesn't live in NYC.
- ? y/n do/does + subj + base form

- Stative / Non-Action verbs:
- Some verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. These verbs don’t involve any action, and don’t take any time.
- I have two computers. I have 1000 books now. - possession doesn’t take time
- I am having soup for lunch. - eating takes time, so have=eat is not a stative verb (it is dynamic)
- ---
- BREAK
- ---
- Dynamic verbs are also frequently called action verbs. They have duration (they take time) and can be interrupted.
- I love that movie. = My general opinion or feeling about the movie is very positive.
- I’m loving this movie. = I am enjoying the movie very much in this moment. (informal)
