Tegenwoordig Tijd    Verleden Tijd       Voltooid Tijd
Ik loop                               Ik liep                        Ik heb gelopen
Hij loopt                           Hij liep                      Hij heeft gelopen

Ik breek                            Ik brak                      Ik heb gebroken

Links zie je de tegenwoordig, verleden en voltooid tijd in het Nederlands. 

Steeds verandert de stam en er komt zelfs een woord bij in de voltooide tijd (vorm van hebben)

                                   loop - liep - heb gelopen.

Wat je verandert heeft te maken met de tijd en met wie de zin heeft te maken.

Vandaag ga je leren hoe die tijden in het Engels werken

Present Simple          Past Simple         Present Perfect
I walk                                 I walked                  I   have walked
Ik loop                              Ik liep                       Ik heb gelopen

He walks                          He walked              He has walked
Hij loopt                           Hij liep                     Hij heeft gelopen

I break                               I broke                     I have broken
Ik breek                            Ik brak                      Ik heb gebroken

Links zie je nu Nederlands en Engels naast elkaar.

Now time for one more thing....

In Chapter 4 we are also going to test your ability to use short answers.

Saying ‘Yes, I do. / No, I don’t’ in English is more polite than just saying ‘Yes. / No.’ That’s why short answers are very commonly used.

To form the short answer, you use the first word from the question. (This is either an auxiliary verb or a form of ‘be’.)

Use the long form (he does) in affirmative answers (yes).

Use the short form (he doesn’t) in negative answers (no).

Question                                       Affirmative             Negative
Do we know him?                      Yes, we do.         No, we don’t.
Can she see me?                       Yes, she can.     No, she can’t.
Have they read the book?    Yes, they have.  No, they haven’t.
Is he hungry?                              Yes, he is.            No, he isn’t.
Will he work?                                 Yes he will         No he won't

Mind: If ‘you’ is the subject of the question, ‘you’ must be replaced by ‘I’ or ‘we’.
Question                                       Affirmative               Negative
Do you know him?                     Yes, I / we do.     No, I / we don’t.

If the question starts with ‘are you’, ‘are’ must sometimes be replaced by ‘am’.
Question                                 Affirmative               Negative
Are you hungry?                   Yes, I am.                  No, I’m not.
But: →                                      Yes, we are.             No, we aren’t.
