Good morning!

Today's goals

At the end of this lesson, you can use the tenses in a correct way

At the end of this lesson, you have tested your knowledge

Present simple

There are some occasions where you have to use some rules.​

Spelling rules for He/She/It:​

Normally most verbs add -s: I walk -> he walks​

Verbs ending with sh,ss,o,ch,x add –es: ​

I wash -> He washes/ I stress-> She stresses/ I watch -> It watches​

I go -> He goes / I relax -> She relaxes​

Verbs ending in consonant + y changes to –ies: I study -> She studies​

Irregular verbs like have -> has​

Present perfect

The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb.

We use the present perfect:

• For something that started in the past and continues in the present:

They've been married for nearly fifty years.

She has lived in Liverpool all her life.

Present perfect

• When we are talking about our experience up to the present:

I've seen that film before.

I've played the guitar ever since I was a teenager.

He has written three books and he is working on another one.

Past simple

With most verbs, the past tense is formed by adding –ed: 

walked, danced, laughed. 

But there are a lot of irregular past tense forms in English.

We use the past tense to talk about:

• something that happened once in the past:

We went to Spain for our holidays.

• something that happened several times in the past:

We swam a lot while we were on holiday.

• something that was true for some time in the past:

He enjoyed being a student.

Past continuous

The past continuous is made from the past tense of the verb be and the –ing form of a verb:

I was working

We use the past continuous to talk about the past:

• for something which happened before and after another action:

The children were doing their homework when I got home.

• to show that something continued for some time:

It was eight o'clock. I was writing a letter.

• for something that happened before and after a specific time:

My head was aching.

Used to

You use used to + verb to talk about past states that are no longer true.

Example: I used to have a car, but now I don't. 

You use used to+ verb to talk about regular past actions that don't happen anymore

Example: We used to talk, but now we don't anymore.

You DON'T use used to + verb to talk about a past action that happened once. You use the PAST SIMPLE. 

Example: His friends caught a big fish yesterday. 

(NOT used to catch)

Use to

In negative sentences, we say "use to" and not "used to".

Example: 

We didn't use to work for him

In interrogative sentences, we also say "use to".

Example: 

Did you use to work for him?
