Notes de l'éditeur

  1. We are going to be concentrating on how to organize your English better. To do that, you must have a good handle on using the tenses. Our major work in this 1st 3-month session, is going to be how to use the tenses effectively. Of course we will learn vocabulary and other important things, too.\n
  2. Before we go into the specific tenses, I want to tell you a little bit about English structure. You should at all times remember the basic structure of a question and a sentence, because nearly every sentence in English and nearly every question follow one of the formulas I’m going to show you. When I say “sentence” I really mean clause. A clause is one configuration of the subject and verb. An actual sentence can have many clauses. \n\n(click)\n\nThe formula for sentence is subject plus verb plus object. Here is an example :\n\n(click). \n\nTry to locate the subject, verb and object in any sentence. The more you recognize this basic structure, the easier it will be for you to use it in your own English.\n\n(click)\n\nHere is the formula for a question. First look at the elements that are not in parentheses. The auxiliary determines tense in a question. The subject is the first word you’re going to use when you answer, the SUBJECT of a sentence.\n\n(click)\n\nHere is an example. Remember that Everything you say before the auxiliary is part of the question word object\n

  6. (click)\n\nThere is an exception to this rule.\n\n(click)\n\n Questions that begin with “who.” If you ask the question “who speaks English” then you do not follow the question formula. But, it will follow the regular sentence formula, sub. + verb + obj\n\n(click)\n\nBut ...\n\n(click)\n\nWhen who is not the subject of the answer, then the question rule applies.

  11. When you learn a tense, you need to know three things about it in order to use it effectively in communication.\n\nYou need to know when the tense is used, the auxiliaries associated with it, and the time markers that are frequently used with that tense.\n\nThe present tense is for habit and custom, its auxiliaries are do for first person and second person singular and plural, and does for third person singular.\n\nThe time markers have the effect of limiting or controlling the habits and customs of the present tense. When you use words like usually, frequently, rarely, you are controlling the limits of the tense.\n
  12. \n
  13. \n
  14. The present progressive is used for actions that are happening at the moment or are happening in and around the present. For example I’m not exercising in the gymnasium NOW, but I am visiting the gymnasium a lot THESE DAYS. When you use THESE DAYS it’s like using the present tense for habit and custom, but more limited, like an action you started last month and are still doing.\n\nThe auxiliaries are the conjugations of the present stative verb “to be.” \n\nIs for the third person singular, am for the first person singular, are for second person and for everything else (We are, they are, etc.)\n\nThe time markers ar “now” for actions that are happening in this moment, and “these days” for actions that are happening in your life within a limited time, as I explained before.\n
