PRIMER PERÍODO
1. GRAMMAR
1.1. SIMPLE PRESENT & PRESENT CONTINOUS TENSE
1. Permanent (usual) and Temporary (now, around now) actions.
• We use the Present Continuous tense to speak about things which are happening now or things which are temporary. I am not working now. I am on holiday. Sally is listening to a new CD. Who are you phoning?
• The Present Simple tense describes usual, repeated and permanent things - for example, always, usually, often, sometimes, never. I work as an accountant. John doesn't know German. How often do you play tennis?
• Compare how these two tenses are used. Why are you walking to work? Don't you usually go by bus? I live in Kharkiv, but now I am living in Moscow. Usually we have dinner at 7, but today we are having it at 9.
2. Some verbs are not normally used in the Continuous Tense. They are called "state" verbs.
In English language there are verbs that are not normally used in the Continuous Tense, because they describe rather state than an action. They are called state verb (stative verbs , non-progressive verbs ). The verbs that can be used in the Continuous
Tense are called action verbs (dynamic verbs ). Some verbs can be both state and action verbs depending on their meaning.
Here are some verbs that are not normally used in the Continuous Tense.
like dislike love hate
prefer remember forget believe
mean seem understand want
need know belong own
Here are some a few verbs that can be both state and action verbs depending on their meaning.
• I think you made a mistake. think = believe I am thinking about my mum now. think = mental process
• I have two cars. have = possess, own I am having my lunch now. have = eat
• I am seeing my friend tomorrow evening. see = meeting with I see what you mean. See = understand
5
PRACTICE……………
Decide if these English verbs are action verbs , state verbs, or can be both action and state verbs .

3. Present Continuous and Present Simple to talk ab out the future.
• We use the Present Continuous Tense for plans and arrangements. What are you doing tonight? I'm seeing a very important customer in my office at 4 o'clock. We are going to the see for our holiday. Where are you staying in Vienna? I'm not going anywhere. It is final.
• We use the Present Simple in the conditional clauses afterif , when , as soon as , until etc, and when we talk about timetable, schedules, itineraries etc. What will you do if you fail your exam? We will wait, until she comes. My plane takes off at 9.00. The President arrives in Norway on 17 September. What time does your train leave?
PRACTICE………..
Put the verb in brackets in the correct form, either the Present Simple Tense or the Present Continuous Tense.
1. I__________________ a very interesting book. (read – am reading)
2. Joanne______________ eight hours a day. (works – is working)
3. Tonight we___________________ a play at the theatre. (see – are seeing)
4. Who _______________________ to? (do you speak – are you speaking)
5. I _________________________ him very well. (don´t know – am not knowing)
6. What will you do if she ____________________ late? (comes – is coming)
6
7. My wife ______________________ coffee for breakfast. (prefers – is prefering)
8. What ____________________________ for breakfast? (do you usually have – are you usually having)
9. Your train________________________ at 17.25 from platform 3. (leaves – is leaving)
10. What ________________________? She's a student. (does Josephine do – is Josephine doing)
1.2. SIMPLE PAST & PAST CONTINOUS TENSE
1.2.1. SIMPLE PAST FORM:
[VERB+ed] or irregular verbs
Examples:
• You called Debbie.
• Did you call Debbie?
• You did not call Debbie.
Most verbs conjugate by adding -ed like the verb "wait" below.
Positive Negative Question
• I waited . • You waited . • We waited . • They waited . • He waited . • She waited . • It waited .
• I did not wait . • You did not wait . • We did not wait . • They did not wait . • He did not wait . • She did not wait . • It did not wait .
• Did I wait ? • Did you wait ? • Did we wait ? • Did they wait ? • Did he wait ? • Did she wait ? • Did it wait ?
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 seriesand so on.
Examples:
• I finished work, walked to the beach, and
• He arrived from the airport at 8:00,
• Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then
USE 3. Duration in Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts andoften 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.
7
yesterday.
to Japan.
to Korea.
dinner last night?
A Series of Completed Actions
series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.
in the milk, and then add the eggs?
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.
in Brazil for two years.
Japanese for five years.
day.
at the party the entire time.
on the phone for thirty minutes.
for them?
for one hour.
of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
the others at 10:00.
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.
8
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.
9
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.
1.2.2. PAST CONTINUOUS FORM
[was/were + present participle]
Examples:
• You were studying when she called.
• Were you studying when she called?
• You were not studying when she called.
Past Continuous Forms
Positive Negative Question
• I was singing .
• You were singing .
• We were singing .
• They were singing .
• He was singing .
• She was singing .
• It was singing .
• I was not singing .
• You were not singing .
• We were not singing .
• They were not singing .
• He was not singing .
• She was not singing .
• It was not singing .
• Was I singing ?
• Were you singing ?
• Were we singing ?
• Were they singing ?
• Was he singing ?
• Was she singing ?
• Was it singing ?
USE 1. Interrupted Action in the Past
Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
10
Examples:
• I was watching TV when she called.
• When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
• While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.
• What were you doing when the earthquake started?
• I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm.
• You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off.
• While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.
• Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane.
• While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off.
• A: What were you doing when you broke your leg? B: I was snowboarding .
USE 2. Specific Time as an Interruption
In USE 1, described above, the Past Continuous is interrupted by a shorter action in the Simple Past. However, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.
Examples:
• Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner.
• At midnight, we were still driving through the desert.
• Yesterday at this time, I was sitting at my desk at work.
IMPORTANT In the Simple Past, a specific time is used to show when an action began or finished. In the Past Continuous, a specific time only interrupts the action.
Examples:
• Last night at 6 PM, I ate dinner. I STARTED EATING AT 6 PM.
• Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner. I STARTED EARLIER; AND AT 6 PM, I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER.
11
USE 3. Parallel Actions
When you use the Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.
Examples:
• I was studying while he was making dinner.
• While Ellen was reading , Tim was watching television.
• Were you listening while he was talking ?
• I wasn't paying attention while I was writing the letter, so I made several mistakes.
• What were you doing while you were waiting ?
• Thomas wasn't working , and I wasn't working either.
• They were eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
USE 4. Atmosphere
In English, we often use a series of parallel actions to describe the atmosphere at a particular time in the past.
Example:
• When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing , some were talking on the phones, the bosswas yelling directions, and customers were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad service.
USE 5. Repetition and Irritation with "Always"
The Past Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happened in the past. The concept is very similar to the expression "used to" but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing."
Examples:
12
• She was always coming to class late.
• He was constantly talking . He annoyed everyone.
• I didn't like them because they were always complaining .
While vs. When Clauses are groups of words which have meaning, but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when she called" or "when it bit me." Other clauses begin with "while" such as "while she was sleeping" and "while he was surfing." When you talk about things in the past, "when" is most often followed by the verb tense Simple Past, whereas "while" is usually followed by Past Continuous. "While" expresses the idea of "during that time." Study the examples below. They have similar meanings, but they emphasize different parts of the sentence.
Examples:
• I was studying when she called .
• While I was studying , she called.
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 Past Continuous with these verbs, you must use Simple Past.
Examples:
• Jane was being at my house when you arrived. Not Correct
• Jane was at my house when you arrived. Correct
EXERCISE

She said she (call) ______________ me on her cell phone from her biology classroom at UCLA. I asked her if she (wait) ______________ for class, but she said that the professor was at the front of the hall lecturing while she (talk) ______________ to me.

SEGUNDO PERÍODO 1. GRAMMAR 1.1. SIMPLE FUTURE FORM: WILL AND GOING TO Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
FORM Will [will + verb]
Examples:
• You will help him later.
• Will you help him later?
• You will not help him later.
FORM Be Going To [am/is/are + going to + verb]
Examples:
• You are going to meet Jane tonight.
• Are you going to meet Jane tonight?
• You are not going to meet Jane tonight.
Simple Future Forms Using "Will"
Positive Negative Question
• I will help . • You will help . • We will help . • They will help . • He will help . • She will help . • It will help .
• I will not help . • You will not help . • We will not help . • They will not help . • He will not help . • She will not help . • It will not help .
• Will I help ? • Will you help ? • Will we help ? • Will they help ? • Will he help ? • Will she help ? • Will it help ?
20
Using "Be Going to"
Positive Negative Question
• I am going to leave . • You are going to leave . • We are going to leave . • They are going to
leave . • He is going to leave . • She is going to leave . • It is going to leave .
• I am not going to leave . • You are not going to
leave . • We are not going to
leave . • They are not going to
leave . • He is not going to leave . • She is not going to leave . • It is not going to leave .
• Am I going to leave ? • Are you going to leave ? • Are we going to leave ? • Are they going to leave ? • Is he going to leave ? • Is she going to leave ? • Is it going to leave ?
USE 1. "Will" to Express a Voluntary Action
"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or "won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.
Examples:
• I will send you the information when I get it.
• I will translate the email, so Mr. Smith can read it.
• Will you help me move this heavy table?
• Will you make dinner?
• I will not do your homework for you.
• I won't do all the housework myself!
• A: I'm really hungry. B: I'll make some sandwiches.
• A: I'm so tired. I'm about to fall asleep. B: I'll get you some coffee.
• A: The phone is ringing. B: I'll get it.
USE 2. "Will" to Express a Promise "Will" is usually used in promises.
Examples:
• I will call you when I arrive.
21
• If I am elected President of the United States, I will make sure everyone has access to inexpensive health insurance.
• I promise I will not tell him about the surprise party.
• Don't worry, I'll be careful.
• I won't tell anyone your secret.
USE 3 "Be going to" to Express a Plan "Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or not.
Examples:
• He is going to spend his vacation in Hawaii.
• She is not going to spend her vacation in Hawaii.
• A: When are we going to meet each other tonight? B: We are going to meet at 6 PM.
• I'm going to be an actor when I grow up.
• Michelle is going to begin medical school next year.
• They are going to drive all the way to Alaska.
• Who are you going to invite to the party?
• A: Who is going to make John's birthday cake? B: Sue is going to make John's birthday cake.
USE 4. "Will" or "Be Going to" to Express a Predic tion Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the future. Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future. In "prediction" sentences, the subject usually has little control over the future and therefore USES 1-3 do not apply. In the following examples, there is no difference in meaning.
Examples:
• The year 2222 will be a very interesting year.
• The year 2222 is going to be a very interesting year.
• John Smith will be the next President.
• John Smith is going to be the next President.
• The movie "Zenith" will win several Academy Awards.
• The movie "Zenith" is going to win several Academy Awards.
IMPORTANT In the Simple Future, it is not always clear which USE the speaker has in mind. Often, there is more than one way to interpret a sentence's meaning.
22
No Future in Time Clauses Like all future forms, the Simple Future cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Simple Future, Simple Present is used.
Examples:
• When you will arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Not Correct
• When you arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Correct
EXERCISE………………
Using the words in parentheses, complete the text b elow with the appropriate tenses Will / Be Going To .
1. A: Why are you holding a piece of paper? B: I (write) _______________________________ a letter to my friends back home in Texas. 2. A: I'm about to fall asleep. I need to wake up! B: I (get) _________________________________ you a cup of coffee. That will wake you up. 3. A: I can't hear the television! B: I (turn) _________________________________ it up so you can hear it. 4.

B: That man at the service counter (help) ___________________________________ you. 10. As soon as the weather clears up, we (walk) ____________________ down to the beach and go swimming.
23
1.2. FUTURE CONTINUOUS TENSE Future Continuous has two different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.
FORM Future Continuous with "Will" [will be + present participle]
Examples:
• You will be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Will you be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You will not be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
FORM Future Continuous with "Be Going To " [am/is/are + going to be + present participle]
Examples:
• You are going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
• Are you going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight?
• You are not going to be waiting for her when her plane arrives tonight.
REMEMBER: It is possible to use either "will" or "be going to" to create the Future Continuous with little difference in meaning.
Future Continuous Forms Using "Will be"
Positive Negative Question
• I will be waiting .
• You will be waiting .
• We will be waiting .

USE 1. Interrupted Action in the Future
Use the Future Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the future will be interrupted by a shorter action in the future. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.
Examples:
• I will be watching TV when she arrives tonight.
• I will be waiting for you when your bus arrives.
• I am going to be staying at the Madison Hotel, if anything happens and you need to contact me.
• He will be studying at the library tonight, so he will not see Jennifer when she arrives.
Notice in the examples above that the interruptions (marked in italics) are in Simple Present rather than Simple Future. This is because the interruptions are in time clauses, and you cannot use future tenses in time clauses.
USE 2. Specific Time as an Interruption in the Futu re
In USE 1, described above, the Future Continuous is interrupted by a short action in the future. In addition to using short actions as interruptions, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.
25
Examples:
• Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner. I WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER.
• At midnight tonight, we will still be driving through the desert. WE WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT.
REMEMBER. In the Simple Future, a specific time is used to show the time an action will begin or end. In the Future Continuous, a specific time interrupts the action. Examples:
• Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to eat dinner. I AM GOING TO START EATING AT 6 PM.
• Tonight at 6 PM, I am going to be eating dinner. I AM GOING TO START EARLIER AND I WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF EATING DINNER AT 6 PM.
USE 3. Parallel Actions in the Future
When you use the Future Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it expresses the idea that both actions will be happening at the same time. The actions are parallel.
Examples:
• I am going to be studying and he is going to be making dinner.
• Tonight, they will be eating dinner, discussing their plans, and having a good time.
• While Ellen is reading, Tim will be watching television. NOTICE "IS READING" BECAUSE OF THE TIME CLAUSE CONTAINING "WHILE." (SEE EXPLANATION BELOW)
USE 4. Atmosphere in the Future
In English, we often use a series of Parallel Actions to describe atmosphere at a specific point in the future.
Example:
• When I arrive at the party, everybody is going to be celebrating . Some will be dancing . Others are going to be talking . A few people will be eating pizza, and several people are going to be drinking beer. They always do the same thing.
26
REMEMBER No Future in Time Clauses Like all future tenses, the Future Continuous cannot be used in clauses beginning with time expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc. Instead of Future Continuous, Present Continuous is used.
Examples:
• While I am going to be finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Not Correct
• While I am finishing my homework, she is going to make dinner. Correct
AND 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 Future Continuous with these verbs, you must use Simple Future.
Examples:
• Jane will be being at my house when you arrive. Not Correct
• Jane will be at my house when you arrive. Correct
Using the words in parentheses, complete the text b elow with the appropriate tenses will be or be goin g to.

TERCER PERÍODO 1. GRAMMAR 1.1. PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
FORM [has/have + past participle]
Examples:
• You have seen that movie many times.
• Have you seen that movie many times?
• You have not seen that movie many times.
Present Perfect Forms
Positive Negative Question
• I have traveled . • You have traveled . • We have traveled . • They have traveled . • He has traveled . • She has traveled . • It has traveled .
• I have not traveled . • You have not traveled . • We have not traveled . • They have not traveled . • He has not traveled . • She has not traveled . • It has not traveled .
• Have I traveled ? • Have you traveled ? • Have we traveled ? • Have they traveled ? • Has he traveled ? • Has she traveled ? • Has it traveled ?
USE 1. Unspecified Time Before Now
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:
• I have seen that movie twenty times.
• I think I have met him once before.
• There have been many earthquakes in California.
• People have traveled to the Moon.
• People have not traveled to
• Have you read the book yet?
• Nobody has ever climbed that mountain.
• A: Has there ever been a war in the United States?B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States.
How Do You Actually Use the Present Perfect?The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to associate Present Perfect with the following topics:
TOPIC 1. Experience You can use the Present Perfect to describe yourcan also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfedescribe a specific event.
Examples:
• I have been to France. THIS SENTENCE MEANS THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE
THERE ONCE, OR SEVERAL TIMES
• I have been to France three times.YOU CAN ADD THE NUMBER OF TIMES AT T
• I have never been to France.THIS SENTENCE MEANS THAT YOU HAVE NOT HAD
• I think I have seen that movie before.
• He has never traveled by train.
• Joan has studied two foreign
• A: Have you ever met him? B: No, I have not met him.
TOPIC 2. Change Over Time We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.
Examples:
• You have grown since the last time I saw you.
• The government has become
• Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established.
• My English has really improved

RANCE. MAYBE YOU HAVE BEEN
FRANCE.
We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.
one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies
33
TOPIC 3. Accomplishments We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.
Examples:
• Man has walked on the Moon.
• Our son has learned how to read.
• Doctors have cured many deadly diseases.
• Scientists have split the atom.
TOPIC 4. An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to happen.
Examples:
• James has not finished his homework yet.
• Susan hasn't mastered Japanese, but she can communicate.
• Bill has still not arrived .
• The rain hasn't stopped .
TOPIC 5. Multiple Actions at Different Times We also use the Present Perfect to talk about several different actions which have occurred in the past at different times. Present Perfect suggests the process is not complete and more actions are possible.
Examples:
• The army has attacked that city five times.
• I have had four quizzes and five tests so far this semester.
• We have had many major problems while working on this project.
• She has talked to several specialists about her problem, but nobody knows why she is sick.
Time Expressions with Present Perfect When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the action happened is not important.
34
Sometimes, we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. We can do this with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so far, up to now, etc.
Examples:
• Have you been to Mexico in the last year ?
• I have seen that movie six times in the last month .
• They have had three tests in the last week .
• She graduated from university less than three years ago. She has worked for three different companies so far .
• My car has broken down three times this week .
NOTICE "Last year" and "in the last year" are very different in meaning. "Last year" means the year before now, and it is considered a specific time which requires Simple Past. "In the last year" means from 365 days ago until now. It is not considered a specific time, so it requires Present Perfect.
Examples:
• I went to Mexico last year . I WENT TO MEXICO IN THE CALENDAR YEAR BEFORE THIS ONE.
• I have been to Mexico in the last year . I HAVE BEEN TO MEXICO AT LEAST ONCE AT SOME POINT BETWEEN 365 DAYS AGO AND NOW.
USE 2. Duration From the Past Until Now (Non-Conti nuous Verbs)
With Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect.
Examples:
• I have had a cold for two weeks.
• She has been in England for six months.
• Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl.
35
Although the above use of Present Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.
EXERCISE TO SIMPLE PAST AND PRESENT PERFECT………… Using the words in parentheses, complete the text b elow with the appropriate tenses. 1. A: Did you like the movie "Star Wars?"
B: I don't know. I (see, never) _____________________________ that movie.
2. Sam (arrive) ________________________ in San Diego a week ago.
3. My best friend and I (know) ____________________________________ each other for over fifteen years. We still get together once a week.
4. Stinson is a fantastic writer. He (write) __________________________________ ten very creative short stories in the last year. One day, he'll be as famous as Hemingway.
5. I (have, not) ________________________ this much fun since I (be) __________________________ a kid.
6. Things (change) ______________________ a great deal at Coltech, Inc. When we first (start)
__________________________ working here three years ago, the company (have, only)
_______________________________ six employees. Since then, we (expand) _______________________
to include more than 2000 full-time workers.
7. I (tell) ______________________________ him to stay on the path while he was hiking, but he (wander)
_________________________________ off into the forest and (be) _____________________________ bitten by a snake.
8. Listen Donna, I don't care if you (miss) _________________________ the bus this morning. You (be)
_______________________________ late to work too many times. You are fired!
9. Sam is from Colorado, which is hundreds of miles from the coast, so he (see, never) __________________ the ocean. He should come with us to Miami.
36
2. VOCABULARY Review activities proposed by the teacher 2.1. YET, ALREADY
Already means that something happened earlier than we expected. With Present Perfect already usually goes after have or has and before the main verb.
Examples - We've already had our breakfast. - When are you going to do your homework? - But I've already done it! - Do you want a cup of coffee? - No, thanks. I've already had one."
Yet means that something that we expected has happened or hasn't happened. We usually put it at the end of a sentence.
Examples - Has the post arrived yet? - Have you done your homework? - Not yet. - Haven't you got ready yet? Look at the time!
EXERCISES……
Write 10 sentences using “already” and 10 sentences using “yet” 2.2. PAST PARTICIPLE OF VERBS. Participles come in two varieties: past and present. They are two of the five forms or principal parts that every verb has. Look at the charts below. Notice that each present participle ends in ing. This is the case 100 percent of the time.
On the other hand, you can see that past participles do not have a consistent ending. The past participles of all regular verbs end in ed; the past participles of irregular verbs, however, vary considerably. If you look at bring and sing, for example, you'll see that their past participles—brought and sung—do not follow the same pattern even though both verbs have ing as the last three letters.
37
Consult a dictionary whenever you are unsure of a verb's past participle form.
EXERCISE……
Research the functions of participles.
