Grammar

Grammar

A bit of grammar is 

good for the soul....

Let's go!

1.   Present simple

Present simple: (I do, he does …)

Facts: Christian Dior targets men and women.

Habits: I always book my trip on internet.

Actions/situations which are generally true: Many consumers prefer well-known brands.

Time schedules/agenda: We launch this new product on 15 June.

 2.  Present continuous (-ing)

Present continuous: (I’m doing, she’s doing…)

1) Something happens now, an ongoing situation

  Ex: We’re developing a completely new image for the brand.

2) Temporary situation

  Ex: We are offering a good discount during this period.

3) personal planning and appointments

  Ex: I’m meeting the manager of TUI next week.

Form: form of to be + verb + ing form

3.  Continuous aspect (-ing)

It deals with time in progress at the moment of speaking and perceives actions and events as incomplete, temporary or developing. We use continuous forms to indicate that the event or situation is unfinished.

1.  Use present continous: to talk about situations that are changing, developing or progressing / it is going on now.

2.  Use the present perfect continous: to describe a situation or activity that started in the past and has been in progress for a period until now and going on

3.  Use the past continuous: to describe past events repeated over time

4.  Past Simple (I did, she did)

1. To refer to events that took place in the past.

  For ex: Did you meet her in London last week?

  Yes, I met her in London. (past simple)

2. We often use a time adverb with the past simple:

  For ex: in 1972, a few weeks ago, last week, yesterday, a long time ago, etc.

3. Form past simple: verbs with ‘ed’ (regular form) with such words as developed, worked, danced, helped, jogged etc.

4. And form past simple verbs without ‘ed’ (irregular verbs) with words such as rose, went, sold, shone, threw etc.

5. Questions use ‘did’. Did you, did they, did she etc.

Grammar - past simple 

1) completed actions and situations in the past

2) repeated actions

My brother applied for a the same job 5 times before he was hired.

3) sequences of actions

He ran to the car,  jumped in and raced off.

Grammar - past continuous

1. An action in progress in the past

We didn't hear the intruder because we were sleeping that night.

2. Temporary situations

During my training I was earning less than my friend.

3. Two actions in progress at the same time

We were watching the sky and listening for the first sounds of songbirds.

4. Interrupted action with a situation

Seventy cars were crossing the bridge when it suddenly collapsed.

5.  Present perfect

We use it to show that a finished past action has still result now.

Form: the present tense of have + a past participle (voltooid deelwoord). (3e rijtje)

Arise-arose-arisen (irregular)   /    walk-walked-walked (regular)

Throw-threw-thrown (irregular)  /  dance-danced-danced (regular)

6.  Past Perfect

We use it to show that a finished past action also has its result in the past.

Form: the past tense of have + a past participle (voltooid deelwoord) (3e rijtje)

For ex: They delivered my new television yesterday.  I had already paid for it.

Grammar - past perfect vs past perfect continuous

1. We often use  'for'  and  'since'  with the perfect

2. The past perfect is use with a completed action/situation in the past

The leaves had fallen from the trees and they were completely bare.

3. The past perfect continuous is used for an action in the past that was still ongoing

The leaves had been falling from the trees and the underground was very slippery. 

(the leaves were still falling, the leaves were not bare yet)

Press Release

What two things are most important to remember about press releases?

The final assignment

 For your graded summative assignment, you will write a press release on behalf of the Tourism Board in Rotterdam, Amsterdam or Haarlem (depending on your location). The press release is about students from Hogeschool Inholland being invited/encouraged to submit an Instagram page to the Tourism Board. The press release is dedicated to promoting tourism in their respective city. Student(s) will receive an Instagram Giveaway Prize for the most “Instagrammable” Instagram page. You decide yourself what the Giveaway Prize(s) are.

In effect, you have to put yourself in the professional role of working for the Tourism Board. Your job, as an employee of the Tourism Board, is to write the press release for your own Tourism Board. It is your job to write the press release and invite/encourage students from Hogeschool Inholland to submit an Instagrammable Instagram page to the Tourism Board.

HOW do you plan to execute this press release? What's the plan?

Do you have all the information needed to submit Written Assignment 2?
