Present Continuous
FORM [Am/is/are + present participle] Examples: You are watching TV. Are you watching TV? You are not watching TV.

Complete List of Present Continuous Forms USE 1 Now

Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Examples: You are learning English now. You are not swimming now. Are you sleeping? I am sitting. I am not standing. Is he sitting or standing? They are reading their books. They are not watching television. What are you doing? Why aren't you doing your homework?

USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now

In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.

Examples: (All of these sentences can be said while eating dinner in a restaurant.) I am studying to become a doctor. I am not studying to become a dentist. I am reading the book Tom Sawyer. I am not reading any books right now. Are you working on any special projects at work? Aren't you teaching at the university now?

USE 3 Near Future

Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. Examples: I am meeting some friends after work. I am not going to the party tonight. Is he visiting his parents next weekend? Isn't he coming with us tonight?

USE 4 Repetition and Irritation with "Always"

The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like Simple Present, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing." Examples: She is always coming to class late. He is constantly talking. I wish he would shut up. I don't like them because they are always complaining.

REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs/ Mixed Verbs It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. Instead of using Present Continuous with these verbs, you must use Simple Present. Examples:

She is loving this chocolate ice cream. Not Correct She loves this chocolate ice cream. Correct

ADVERB PLACEMENT The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples: You are still watching TV. Are you still watching TV?

ACTIVE / PASSIVE Examples: Right now, Tom is writing the letter. ACTIVE Right now, the letter is being written by Tom. PASSIVE

The Present Continuous or present progressive tense

Structure: S + verb to be (AM/IS/ARE) + -ing form of a verb+ Complement. Use: To describe actions that are happening at the moment (NOW).

La estructura consta del uso del verbo mas el gerundio. se usa para describir acciones que suceden en el momento. Se usa para explicar lo que uno esta haciendo ahora.
I) The positive form of the present continuous.

- Remember to use the Subject (this can be a subject pronoun or a noun -LESSON 1 Click AQUI) plus (+) the verb to be in the present tense (am/is/are) and complement (optional). The following is the table of the positive form of the present continuous / progressive. Table #1 ositive Form

Common mistakes: - Students forget to use the verb to be Example: a) My father working (INCORRECT) > My father IS working. (Correct) - Sometimes students do not use the -ing form. b) Robert is play with my sister (INCORRECT) > Robert is playING with my sister. (CORRECT) Recuerden de no omitir el sujeto. En espaol Esta comiendo esta usando un sujeto tcito. En ingles siempre debemos decir quien hace la accin (salvo en el imperativo) Entonces en esta comiendo el sujeto puede ser el, ella, o ello. En ingles seria He/she /it is eating dependiendo del contexto.

II) The negative form of the present continuous

The negative form is used by adding not after the verb to be in the present tense form. You may use contractions. Table # 2:The negative form.

Common mistakes: -Some students place the negative first. REMEMBER TO USE THE S+V+C !!! a) Not working my father (INCORRECT) > My father isnt (is + not) working (CORRECT) - Students use the dont/doesnt to do the negative: b) She doesnt playing (INCORRECT) > She isnt playing (CORRECT)
III) The question form of the present continuous.

We have to put the verb to be + the subject + -ing form + the complement.
Are you watching TV?

Remember that we can use the Question words before the structure: Examples: - What are you doing? Answer: I am studying English with my virtual teacher. - Where is Pedro going? Answer: He is going to the shopping mall. Table # 3: Question form

Common mistakes: - Students do not change the order of the verb to be with the subject: a) He is working? (INCORRECT) > Is he working? (CORRECT) - Students use do or does in questions: b) Do you studying? (INCORRECT) > Are you studying? (CORRECT)

PRESENT TENSE PRESENT TENSE uses the verb's base form (write, work), or, for third-person singular subjects, the base form plus an -s ending (he writes, she works). The PRESENT TENSE indicates that an action is present, now, relative to the speaker or writer. Generally, it is used to describe actions that are factual or habitual -- things that occur in the present but that are not necessarily happening right now: "It rains a lot in Portland" is a kind of timeless statement. Compare that to the present progressive -- "It is raining in Portland" -- which means that something is, in fact, going on right now. "I use my bike to get around town." is in the present, but I'm not actually on my bike right now. An instantaneous sense of the present can be conveyed with either the simple present or the progressive: "Watch him now: he holds [is holding] down the control key at the same time that he presses [is pressing] the letter d."

The present tense is used to describe events that are scheduled (by nature or by people): "High tide is at 3:15 p.m. The Super Bowl starts at 6:15 p.m."

The present tense can be used to suggest the past with what is sometimes called the fictional (or historic) present: "We were watching the back door when, all of a sudden, in walks Dierdre." With verbs of communicating, the present tense can also suggest a past action: "Dierdre tells me that she took her brother to the dentist." Most oddly, the present tense can convey a sense of the future, especially with verbs such as arrive, come, and leave that suggest a kind of plan or schedule: "The train from Boston arrives this afternoon at two o'clock."

Present tense habitual activities are frequently signaled by time expressions such as the following: All the time Always Every class Every day Every holiday Every hour Every month Every semester Every week Every year Most of the time Never Often Rarely Sometimes Usually

Singular Plural I walk /we walk

You walk/ you walk He/she/it walks/ they walk Examples I walk to work every day. The Chicago Bulls sometimes practice in this gymnasium. Dr. Espinoza operates according to her own schedule. Coach Calhoun recruits from countries outside the U.S.A. Tashonda tells me she has committed to UConn. We work really hard to make this a success, and then look what happens. Every time that kid finishes a sandcastle, the waves come in and wash it away. The shipment arrives tomorrow at 2 p.m. Source: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/tenses/simple_present.htm

Imperative:
Form of the imperative

The Imperative form is the same as the ''bare infinitive'': Affirmative form (base form of the verb): Wait! Negative short form (Don't + base form): Don't wait! Emphatic form (Do + base form): Do wait a moment! Addressing someone (e.g. pronoun + base form): You wait here! Imperative + question tag: Wait here, will you? Imperatives joined by and: Go and play outside.

Some common uses of the Imperative

We use the Imperative for direct orders and suggestions and also for a variety of other purposes. Stress and intonation, gesture, facial expression, and, above all, situation and context, indicate whether the use of this form is friendly, abrupt, angry, impatient, persuasive, etc. The negative form is usually expressed by Don't. The full form (Do not) is used mainly in public notices. Here are some common uses: 1. Direct commands, requests, suggestions: Follow me. Shut the door (please). Don't worry!

2. Warnings: Look out! There's a bus! Don't panic!

3. Directions: Take the 2nd turning on the left and then turn right.

4. Instructions: Use a moderate oven and bake for 20 minutes.

5. Prohibitions (in e.g. public notices): Keep off the grass! Do not feed the animals!

6. Advice (especially after always and never): Always answer when you're spoken to! Never speak to strangers!

7. Invitations: Come and have dinner with us soon.

8. Offers: Help yourself. Have a biscuit.

9. Expressing rudeness: Shut up! Push off!

Uses of the Imperative with 'do'

We use do (always stressed) before the Imperative when we particularly wish to emphasize what we are saying: e.g. - when we wish to be polite: Do have another cup of coffee.

- or when we wish to express impatience: Do stop talking!

- or when we wish to persuade: Do help me with this maths problem.

In response to requests for permission, offers, etc. do and don't can be used in place of a full Imperative: May/Shall I switch the light off? - Yes, do. No, don't.

The use of the imperative to address particular people

The imperative, e.g. Wait here!, might be addressed to one person or several people: you is implied. However, we can get the attention of the person or people spoken to in the following ways: 1. You + imperative: You wait here for a moment.

Intonation and stress are important. If, in the above example, you is unstressed, the sentence means 'this is where you wait'. If it is stressed, it means 'this is what I want you to do'. When you is stressed, it might also convey anger, hostility or rudeness: 'You mind your own business! 'You try teaching 40 noisy children five days a week! Don't (not you) is stressed in the negative: 'Don't you speak to me like that!

2. You + name(s) or name(s) + you: You wait here, Jim, and Mary, you wait there.

3. Imperative + name or name + Imperative: Drink up your milk, Sally! Sally, drink up your milk!

4. Imperative + reflexive:

Enjoy yourself. Behave yourself.

5. We can use words like everybody, someone with the Imperative when we are talking to groups of people: Everyone keep quiet! Keep still everybody! Nobody say a word! Somebody answer the phone please.

Any compounds are used after negative commands: Don't say a word anybody! Don't anybody say a word!

The Imperative with question tags

Tags like will you?, won't you?, can you?, can't you?, could you? and would you? can often be used after an imperative for a variety of purposes: e.g.

- to express annoyance/impatience with will/won't/can't you? (rising tone): Stop fiddling with that TV, will you/won't you/can't you?

- to make a request (can you? for neutral requests; could/would you? for more polite ones); or to sound less abrupt: Post this letter for me can you?/could you?/would you?

- to offer polite encouragement or to make friendly offers and suggestions (will you? and won't you?): Come in, will you/won't you? Take a seat, will you/won't you?

- to obtain the co-operation of others with Don't ... will you? Don't tell anyone I told you, will you? And note why don't you? as a tag in: e.g. Go off for the weekend, why don't you?

Double imperatives joined by 'and'

Some imperatives can be followed by 'and' and another imperative where we might expect a 'toinfinitive':

Go and buy yourself a new pair of shoes. (Not *Go to buy*) Come and see this goldfish. (Not *Come to see*) Come and play a game of bridge with us. (Not *Come to play*) Wait and see. (Not *Wait to see*) Try and see my point of view. (Note: Try to is also possible.)

In American English go is sometimes followed directly by a 'bare infinitive': Go fetch some water. (= Go and fetch)

A 'to-infinitive' can follow an imperative to express purpose: Eat to live; do not live to eat.

Non-Action Verbs
Some verbs cannot be used in the progressive tenses. They are called non-action verbs. Non-action verbs indicate state, sense, desire, possession, or opinion. The most common nonaction verbs are: Be* seem appear* (existence) (senses) (desire) (possession) (opinion)

Look* sound* smell* taste* feel* Like want prefer love* possess

Have* own

Had you? Hubisteis?, habais? / tuvisteis?, tenais? Had they? Hubo?, haba? / Tuvieron?, tenan?

- Sirve para formar los tiempos compuestos cuando acompaa al participio de los verbos. I have played / He jugado I had played / Haba jugado - Cuando va seguido de un infinitivo, equivale a la expresin espaola 'tener que'. I have to go / Tengo que ir I have to read that book / Tengo que leer ese libro Diferencia entre have + to + infinitivo y 'must' 'Must' en su sentido de obligacin, se usa para dar rdenes o para hacer que alguien o uno mismo cumpla con un cierto compromiso: You must stop smoking / Tiene que dejar de fumar (Dice el mdico) Cuando se trata de rdenes externas impuestas, (leyes, normas, etc) o dictadas por terceros, es ms usual el empleo de 'to have to' The doctor says I have to stop smoking / El mdico dice que tengo que dejar de fumar. En forma negativa, 'must not' expresa una prohibicin. En cambio, 'don't have' to indica que algo no es necesario, es decir, que no existe obligacin. You mustn't listen to other people's conversations. No debes escuchar las conversaciones de otras personas. You don't have to listen to the speech if you don't want to. No tienes que escuchar el discurso si no quieres. USOS DE TO HAVE - Indica posesin. She has a big house in Ireland / Tiene una gran casa en Irlanda - Tomar (alimentos)

I have breakfast at seven in the morning / Tomo el desayuno a las siete de la maana I don't have coffee / Yo no tomo caf - Dar (una fiesta, un paseo, una mirada...) We're having a party next Saturday / Vamos a dar una fiesta el prximo sbado I usually have a walk on Saturday mornings / Normalmente doy un paseo los sbados por la maana Can I have a look at your magazine? / Puedo dar un vistazo a su revista? - Se usa habitualmente en modismos (frases hechas). La estructura ms frecuente (no la nica) es: 'to have' + 'a' + sustantivo To have a rest / Descansar To have a swim / Nadar To have a walk / Pasear HAVE? O HAVE GOT...? Algunas personas, sobre todo al sur de Inglaterra, suelen aadir 'got' (participio pasado del verbo 'to get', que no tiene traduccin en este caso) despus de 'have', construyendo la forma negativa e interrogativa como si 'have' fuese un auxiliar. I've got a new house (en lugar de I have a new house) / Tengo una nueva casa Have you got a cigarette?. No, I haven't. (En lugar de Do you have a cigarette? No, I haven't). Tiene vd. un cigarrillo?. No, no lo tengo. Debemos tener claro que usar solamente 'have' es correcto, pero que el uso de 'got' no siempre es adecuado acompaando a 'have'. Generalmente, el uso de 'got' es ms corriente en ingls britnico y menos usual en ingls americano. - Puede usarse 'have got' cuando estamos hablando de que alguien posee una determinada cosa o cuando estamos mencionando una cualidad o caracterstica que alguien o algo tiene. I've got a new car / Tengo un coche nuevo He's got a good memory / Tiene buena memoria. - Puede usarse 'have got to' cuando decimos que debemos realizar una determinada accin, o que algo es necesario o debe ocurrir de una determinada manera. I've got to go. - Do you have to? / Tengo que irme. - De verdad (tienes que irte)? I'm not happy with the situation, but I've got to accept it No estoy contento con la situacin, pero tengo que aceptarla

Pasado Simple - (Simple Past Tense)

El Pasado Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir acciones que han sucedido en un tiempo anterior y que ya han finalizado, por ejemplo: She cleaned her house. Ella limpi su casa. I broke the window. Yo romp la ventana.

Aqu vemos su conjugacin que en el espaol equivale al Pretrito Indefinido. Observa que la estructura de la oracin es similar a la del Presente Simple: Tanto en la forma interrogativa como en negativa se utiliza como auxiliar DID que es la forma pasada del verbo "TO DO" y acompaa al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva. En las negaciones puede utilizarse la forma contrada de DID NOT o sea DIDN'T. En el cuadro superior se emplea el verbo To Play (Jugar) a modo de ejemplo. Al expresar una oracin en Pasado Simple se entiende que la accin no guarda relacin con el presente, como vemos en los siguientes casos: He lost the keys. l perdi las llaves.

Her poor dog stared up at her with its hungry eyes, and she knew she had to do something quickly. She hurried to the grocery store to buy some dog food, but unfortunately the store was out of her dog's favorite brand, so she had to catch a bus downtown. After buying the food, she waited for a half hour in the rain to get a taxi. When she finally got home, her dog was sound asleep on the living room sofa. Common problems with the past tense 1. Using the present tense when the past tense is required. Last week, Tonya fix her neighbor's car. Last week, Tonya fixed her neighbor's car. (Correct) 2. Using "was" with verbs in the past tense.

Simple Past: Regular Verbs

Introduction The simple past tense is one of the most common tenses in English. Its form is the same with all subjects. It is usually formed by adding -ED to the verb. This page will explain the rules for forming the tense with regular verbs. 1. Forming the simple past tense With most verbs, the simple past is created simply by adding -ED. However, with some verbs, you need to add -D or change the ending a little. Here are the rules: Verb ending in... E Add -D How to make the simple past live lived Examples

Date dated Consonant +y Change y to i, then add -ED Cry cried One vowel + one consonant (But NOT w or y) Commit committed Anything else including w Fill filled Hand handed Show showed When you are sure that you understand the lesson, you can continue with the exercises.

Simple Past
FORM

[VERB+ed] or irregular verbs Examples:

You called Debbie. Did you call Debbie? You did not call Debbie. Complete List of Simple Past Forms USE 1 Completed Action in the Past

Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind. Examples:

I saw a movie yesterday. I didn't see a play yesterday. Last year, I traveled to Japan. Last year, I didn't travel to Korea. Did you have dinner last night?

She washed her car. He didn't wash his car. USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions

We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. Examples:

I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim. He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00. Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs? USE 3 Duration in Past

The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc. Examples:

I lived in Brazil for two years. Shauna studied Japanese for five years. They sat at the beach all day. They did not stay at the party the entire time. We talked on the phone for thirty minutes. A: How long did you wait for them? B: We waited for one hour.

USE 4 Habits in the Past

The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc. Examples:

I studied French when I was a child. He played the violin. He didn't play the piano. Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid? She worked at the movie theater after school. They never went to school, they always skipped class.

USE 5 Past Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression "used to." Examples:

She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing. He didn't like tomatoes before. Did you live in Texas when you were a kid? People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past. IMPORTANT When-Clauses Happen First

Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I dropped my pen..." or "when class began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important. The examples below contain when-clauses. Examples:

When I paid her one dollar, she answered my question. She answered my question when I paid her one dollar.

When-clauses are important because they always happen first when both clauses are in the Simple Past. Both of the examples above mean the same thing: first, I paid her one dollar, and then, she answered my question. It is not important whether "when I paid her one dollar" is at the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence. However, the example below has a different meaning. First, she answered my question, and then, I paid her one dollar. Example:

I paid her one dollar when she answered my question.

ADVERB PLACEMENT

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples:

You just called Debbie. Did you just call Debbie? ACTIVE / PASSIVE

Examples:

Tom repaired the car. ACTIVE The car was repaired by Tom. PASSIVE

Object Pronouns:
Definition: It is a pronoun that is used as an object in the sentence. Remember: A subjective or subject pronoun does the action and goes BEFORE the verb while object pronouns go AFTER the verb. OBJECT PRONOUNS: SINGULAR: > Me (first person) You (2nd) Her / him / it (third person) PLURAL > Us (1st) You (2nd) Them (3rd) Figura 1

** No confundir con los possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, its, our, your, their (VER LECCION 5 AQUI) Figura # 2

Lets Practice Circle the correct pronouns 1) We/Us usually see they/them.

2) I/Me write to she/her everyday. 3) He/Him loves her/she very much but she/her doesnt love he/him. 4) Please dont wait for she/her. 5) Do you like he/him?

Adverbs of time
Some adverbs tell us when something happened. These include: afterwards, later, now, soon, yesterday etc. For example:Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away. - In this sentence yesterday shows us when the singers troubles seemed so far away.. Other adverbs of time include:Time Example I am going to the shops on Monday.

Saturday, Sunday...

Today I've been to the shops today. Yesterday I went yesterday.

Next week/month/year I am going next week. Last week/month/year I went last year. Finally I finally went. Eventually Already Soon Just Still I eventually went to the shops. I've already been to the shops.

I'm going to the shops soon. I'm just going to the shops. I'm still at the shop

ADVERBS OF TIME

 Adverbials of time can be time expressions such as last night. Adverbials of time can be prepositional phrases with at, in, or on. For refers to a period of time in the past, present, or future. Since refers to a point in past time. 1. We use adverbials of time to say when something happens. We often use noun groups called time expressions as adverbials of time. Yesterday Today Tomorrow Next Saturday Next week Last night The other day the day after tomorrow last year

Note that we do not use the prepositions at, in, or on with time expressions. One of my children wrote to me today.. So, you're coming back next week? We often use time expressions with verbs in the present tense to talk about the future. The plane leaves tomorrow morning. They're coming next week. 2. We can use prepositional phrases as adverbials of time: at is used with:

Clock times: at eight o'clock, at three fifteen Religious festivals: at Christmas, at Easter Mealtimes: at breakfast, at lunchtimes Specific periods: at night, at the weekend, at weekends, at half-term

 in is used with:

Seasons: in autumn, in the spring Years and centuries: in 1985, in the year 2000, in the nineteenth century Months: in July, in December Parts of the day: in the morning, in the evenings

Note that we also use in to say that something will happen during or after a period of time in the future. I think we'll find out in the next few days. on is used with:

Days: on Monday, on Tuesday morning, on Sunday evenings Special days: on Christmas Day, on my birthday, on his wedding anniversary Dates: on the twentieth of July, on June 21st

3. We use for with verbs in any tense to say how long something continues to happen. He is in Italy for a month... I remained silent for a long time. I will be in London for three months. WARNING: We do not use during to say how long something continues to happen. We cannot say I went there during three weeks. 4. We use since with a verb in the present perfect or past perfect tense to say when something started to happen. Marilyn has lived in Paris since 1984.. I had eaten nothing since breakfast.. 5. We can use many other prepositional phrases as adverbials of time. We use:

during and over for a period of time in which something happens

I saw him twice during the summer holidays. Will you stay in Edinburgh over Christmas? from...to/till/until and between...and for the beginning and end of a period of time

The building is closed from April to May. She worked from four o'clock till ten o'clock. Can you take the test between now and June? by when you mean not later than

By eleven o'clock, Brody was back in his office. Can we get this finished by tomorrow? before and after

I saw him before the match. She left the house after ten o'clock. Since, till, until, after, and before can also be conjunctions with time clauses. I've been wearing glasses since I was three. You use the adverb ago with the past simple to say how long before the time of speaking something happened. You always put ago after the period of time. We saw him about a month ago. John's wife died five years ago. WARNING: We do not use ago with the present perfect tense. We cannot say We have gone to Spain two years ago. 2.4Source: http://www.learnenglish.de/grammar/adverbtime.htm Simple Past: of Irregular Verbs Introduction Although many verbs in English form their past tense with -ED, some do not. These are called irregular verbs, and they include some of the most basic verbs in English. This page will explain some of the most important patterns in forming the past tense. However, the only way to know how an irregular verb will change in the past tense is to learn all of the important verbs. 1. The three most important irregular verbs The three most important irregular verbs are BE, HAVE, and DO. The simple past forms for BE are different depending on the subject.

Pronoun I You was were

BE had had was had had

HAVE DO did did had did did did

He / she / it We They were were

2. Other irregular verbs Other irregular verbs fall into three main categories: Category Examples cut - cut
