The song "Let It Be" by The Beatles, for example, we
use for training Present Simple Tense and Present
Continuous Tense. In particular, we draw the attention of
students to the presence endings -s in the verbs "comes",
"shines", on its absence in the verbs "find", "agree",
"wake up" and we give the task to formulate the
appropriate rule. Further, if necessary, we repeat
conjugate the verb "to be" and find it in the text personal
forms. After working on the language aspects, we discuss
the content of the song, its philosophical meaning of the
name "Let It Be".
