[quote=fatma123;18649][color="Purple"]..but don't you think it's difficult for beginners of English to role play these roles without having an idea about the three forms?? QUOTE]

Hi again,
Yes, I do think it's difficult for beginners to do these tenses. I wouldn't even begin to look at the present perfect simple, let alone continuous, until they were already a good pre-intermediate level. But that's just a personal view.

As for other situations to get your students to demonstrate in class, you could get them doing certain physical exercises, shake hands with the group, stack books, open and close the door, stand up and sit down, throw paper balls into the bin etc etc

Good luck!
