Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “As I Was Saying” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Simple & Continuous Tenses quiz”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
How confident are you at knowing when to use (and how to form) Simple, or Continuous, forms of English verbs?
'As I was saying... ' (at some earlier point in time, e.g. before being interrupted), we should make sure you are happy with this in your everyday use of the language. Here are some questions on simple and continuous tenses to help you check.
The first part would normally be in the Present Continuous but suggesting the future (with the idea of 'while you are, or will be, travelling': this is a process that necessarily has a certain length to it!).
There is no need or cause for a continuous form of the middle verb, which is a single quick action that someone either will do, or they won't.
We would say 'it is fun doing something' or 'fun to do': 'It would be scary walking through the forest at night'; 'It is exciting to watch them playing'.
