Talk about Activities being done by Oneself and other Creatures/Things

Example 1

Examples of ongoing activities

  • I am teaching computers.
  • My mother is watering the garden.
  • She was cooking Ugali.
  • The sun is shining the whole day.
  • Are you travelling to Accra?
  • The bell will ring at 4:30am.

Activity 1

Read this conversation and then answer the questions that follow:

Masu : Hi, how are you?

Mosi: Very well, thanks!

Masu: Can I see what you’re doing?

Mosi : Certainly!

Masu : Great, my name is Masu.

Mosi : My name is Mosi. The boy riding a bike is my young brother, Linus.

Masu: Is he learning how to ride?

Mosi: No, he is already a good rider, I coached him. He is competing in bicycle competitions in the next month.

Masu: I see, but what are you doing with that small clock?

Mosi: It is not a clock, it’s a stopwatch. I am timing how long he takes to ride one lap. Just watch as he finishes a lap. Linus, 28 sec? You’re slowing down, speed up!

Linus: I am getting tired sis!

Mosi: Try to ride faster for 24 seconds on the next lap!

Masu: I can see you are pushing him hard.

Mosi: Yes, this is the only way to train him. He has to go for the zonal race; ‘no pain no gain’ remember?

Masu: I also have a bicycle I like riding, but I don’t think I can train to compete.

Mosi: Well, we are not always just training. We also play here at Mrembeni Children Park. Would you care to join us?

Masu: Thanks, that would be great! I am new in town and so I don’t have many friends yet.
