Form of the Simple PresentWe use the infinitive of the verb. In the 3rd person Singular (he, she, it - or a name) we put an -s at the end of the infinitive.infinitive - 3rd person Singular (he, she, it) infinitive + -sAffirmative sentences:I/we/you/they play football.He/she/it plays football.NOTE: he, she, it - Do not forget the -s.Negative sentences:We use the auxiliary do.I/we/you/they do not play football.He/she/it does not play football.NOTE: We often use short forms in negative sentences in the Simple Present:I/we/you/they don't play football.He/she/it doesn't play football.Questions:Do I/we/you/they play football?Does he/she/it play football? Past ContinuousFORM[was/were + present participle]Examples:You were studying when she called.Were you studying when she called?You were not studying when she called. Complete List of Past Continuous FormsUSE 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.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. IMPORTANTIn 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.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 AtmosphereIn 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 boss was 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: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.

MODALS They are verbs which 'help' other verbs to express a meaning: it is important to realise that "modal verbs" have no meaning by themselves. A modal verb such as would has several varying functions; it can be used, for example, to help verbs express ideas about the past, the present and the future. It is therefore wrong to simply believe that "would is the past of will": it is many other things.A few basic grammatical rules applying to modal verbsModal verbs are NEVER used with other auxiliary verbs such as do, does, did etc. The negative is formed simply by adding "not" after the verb; questions are formed by inversion of the verb and subject:You should not do that.Could you pick me up when I've finished?Modal verbs NEVER change form: you can never add an "-s" or "-ed", for example.Modal verbs are NEVER followed by to, with the exception of ought to.What sort of meanings do modals give to other verbs?The meaning are usually connected with ideas of DOUBT, CERTAINTY, POSSIBILITY and PROBABILITY, OBLIGATION and PERMISSION (or lack of these). You will see that they are not used to talk about things that definitely exist, or events that definitely happened. These meanings are sometimes divided into two groups:DEGREES OF CERTAINTY: certainty; probability; possibility; impossibilityOBLIGATION/FREEDOM TO ACT: permission,lack of permission; ability; obligation.Let's look at each modal verb separately, and the functions they help to express:Will Making personal predictionsI don't think the Queen will ever abdicate. I doubt if I'll stay here much longer.Talking about the present with certainty (making deductions)I'm sure you will understand that there is nothing the Department can doThere's a letter for you. It'll be from the bank: they said they'd be writing.Talking about the future with certaintyI won't be in the office until 11; I've got a meeting.Don't bother ringing: they'll have left for their 10 o'clock lecture.Talking about the past with certaintyI'm sure you will have noticed that attendance has fallen sharply.Reassuring someoneDon't worry! You'll settle down quickly, I'm sure.It'll be all right! You won't have to speak by yourself.Making a decisionFor the main course I'll have grilled tuna.I'm very tired. I think I'll stay at home tonight.Making a semi-formal requestWill you open the window, please? It's very hot in here.Sign this, will you?Offering to do somethingYou stay there! I'll fetch the drinks.Insistence; habitual behaviourI'm not surprised you don't know what to do! You will keep talking in class.Damn! My car won't start. I'll have to call the garage.Making a promise or a threatYou can count on me! I'll be there at 8 o'clock sharp.If you don't finish your dinner off, you'll go straight to bed!Shall Shall is a form of will, used mostly in the first person. Its use, however, is decreasing, and in any case in spoken English it would be contracted to "-ll" and be indistinguishable from will.The only time you do need to use it is in questions, when:Making offersShall I fetch you another glass of wine?Making suggestionsShall we go to the cinema tonight?May & MightMay & might sometimes have virtually the same
meaning; they are used to talk about possibilities in the past, present or future. ("Could" is also sometimes used).May is sometimes a little bit "more sure" (50% chance); whereas might expresses more doubt (maybe only a 30% chance).May & might are used, then, for:Talking about the present or future with uncertaintyShe may be back in her office: the lecture finished ten minutes ago.I may go shopping tonight, I haven't decided yet.England might win the World Cup, you never know.Talking about the past with uncertaintyI'm surprised he failed. I suppose he might have been ill on the day of the exam.They can also sometimes be used for talking about permission, but usually only in formal situations. Instead of saying May I open a window? we would say Is it all right/OK if I open a window? or Can I open a window? for example. You might, however, see:Students may not borrow equipment without written permission.MayTalking about things that can happen in certain situationsIf the monitors are used in poorly lit places, some users may experience headaches.Each nurse may be responsible for up to twenty patients.With a similar meaning to althoughThe experiment may have been a success, but there is still a lot of work to be done. (= Although it was a success, there is still ...)MightSaying that something was possible, but did not actually happenYou saw me standing at the bus stop! You might have stopped and given me a lift!Would As the past of will, for example in indirect speech"The next meeting will be in a month's time" becomesHe said the next meeting would be in a month's time.Polite requests and offers (a 'softer' form of will)Would you like another cup of tea?Would you give me a ring after lunch?I'd like the roast duck, please.In conditionals, to indicate 'distance from reality': imagined, unreal, impossible situationsIf I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of Spring.It would have been better if you'd word processed your assignment.After 'wish', to show regret or irritation over someone (or something's) refusal or insistence on doing something (present or future)I wish you wouldn't keep interrupting me.I wish it would snow.(This is a complicated area! Check in a good grammar book for full details!)Talking about past habits (similiar meaning to used to)When I was small, we would always visit relatives on Christmas Day.Future in the pastThe assassination would become one of the key events of the century.Can & Could Talking about abilityCan you speak Mandarin? (present)She could play the piano when she was five. (past)Making requestsCan you give me a ring at about 10? Could you speak up a bit please? (slightly more formal, polite or 'softer')Asking permissionCan I ask you a question?Could I ask you a personal question? (more formal, polite or indirect)Reported speechCould is used as the past of can.He asked me if I could pick him up after work.General possibilityYou can drive when you're 17. (present)Women couldn't vote until just after the First World War.Choice and opportunitiesIf you want some help with your writing, you can come to classes, or you can
get some 1:1 help.We could go to Stratford tomorrow, but the forecast's not brilliant. (less definite)Future probabilityCould (NOT can) is sometimes used in the same way as might or may, often indicating something less definite.When I leave university I might travel around a bit, I might do an MA or I suppose I could even get a job.Present possibilityI think you could be right you know. (NOT can)That can't be the right answer, it just doesn't make sense.Past possibilityIf I'd known the lecture had been cancelled, I could have stayed in bed longer.Must Examples here refer to British English; there is some variation in American English.Necessity and obligationMust is often used to indicate 'personal' obligation; what you think you yourself or other people/things must do. If the obligation comes from outside (eg a rule or law), then have to is often (but not always) preferred:I really must get some exercise.People must try to be more tolerant of each other.You musn't look - promise?If you own a car, you have to pay an annual road tax.Strong advice and invitationsI think you really must make more of an effort.You must go and see the film - it's brilliant.You must come and see me next time you're in town.Saying you think something is certainThis must be the place - there's a white car parked outside.You must be mad.What a suntan! You must have had great weather.The negative is expresses by can't:You're going to sell your guitar! You can't be serious!She didn't wave - she can't have seen me.Should Giving adviceI think you should go for the Alfa rather than the Audi.You shouldn't be drinking if you're on antibiotics.You shouldn't have ordered that chocolate dessert - you're not going to finish it.Obligation: weak form of mustThe university should provide more sports facilities.The equipment should be inspected regularly.DeductionThe letter should get to you tomorrow - I posted it first class.Things which didn't or may/may not have happenedI should have renewed my TV licence last month, but I forgot.You shouldn't have spent so much time on that first question.Ought to Ought to usually has the same meaning as should, particularly in affirmative statements in the present:You should/ought to get your hair cut
