I am teaching an English class right now in a remedial type class. I was teaching about past progressive verb construction in which you use the being verb in the past tense plus the verb you want and add -ing to the ending. It would be a sentence like this: Bill was eating Rice Krispies.
I asked the class what “ing” was (meaning what is the equivalent in Spanish). One boy, who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, blurted out “It’s a bank!” What was funny is that he could not understand why his answer was not correct.
extra credit for him if he names the marathons that bank is the major sponsor for?
