Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
These days I’m dealing with the tenses with all levels so I decided to group the songs according to the tenses. As I’m focused on Past Simple and past Continuous now, I’ve started from them.
When I prepare the lessons, I’ll also add them.
Because you Loved me Celine Dion
Jealous Guy John Lennon
Hotel California The Eagles
Storyman Chris de Burgh
Seasons in the Sun Terry Jacks
Our Last Summer ABBA
No reply Beatles
Candle in the Wind Elton John
You were there Eric Clapton
i relly like to work with songs in the class!!!
Beautiful songs. Very useful in fact. Thanks a lot
Thanks! I didn´t remeber the lyrics of these songs.
I don’t remeber them either. Neither do I remember them.
Thank you very much.
Thanks. Just been through them all and Jealous Guy definitely seems to be the best for Past Continuous. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen also has some Past Continuous in it.
Thanks
I am sailing- Rod Stewart.
Another yellow lemon tree- Fool’s garden. ( With 1st person singular contration).
These songs are already old and my students don’t think they are “relatable”. I wish you could give us new songs.
The problem is, most new songs have many grammar mistakes, whether done intentionally or unintentionally (though i think it is the former)… i was referring to the song ‘I am mess’ for example. fun song but atrocious grammar…
My PET students really loved listening to Driving to Damascus by Big Country. A slightly obscure one but it does have both past simple and past continuous in it…
Thanks a lot. I’ll try it.
