PRESENT CONTINUOUS

Hi guys!

How are you today? Are you happy with your improving in English? Well, we are going to continue!

Today we are going to learn about the present continuous.

We use the present continuous: to talk about actions that are happening at the moment that you are telling them; and to talk about actions that happens at the same way but only during a specific period of time.

POSITIVE

The present continuous´ structure is so easy:

For example:

I am singing.

You are playing.

She is dancing.

TO FORM THE GERUND:

We have to add -ing, but there are some special cases:

VERBS ENDED IN -IE:

We have to replace the ended "-ie" by "-ying".

For example: 

Lie----------------------Lying

Die---------------------Dying

VERBS ENDED IN -E:

We have to replace the "-e" by "-ing".

For example:

Use--------------------Using

Have----------------Having

DOUBLING THE CONSONANT:

A lot of verbs double their final consonant to form the gerund.

For example:

Get----------------Getting

Set----------------Setting

Forbid------------Forbidding

We have to be careful because only double the consonant, the words that:

- The word ends in an only consonant (It can´t be r, w, x or y).

- The word ends in an only vowel followed by a consonant.

- The word have to be monosyllabic.

- The word have to have the accent in the last syllable.

NEGATIVE:

I´m not singing.

They aren´t playing.

He isn´t watching TV.

INTERROGATIVE:

Are you singing?

Are they playing?

Is he watching TV?

Well guys, after the review of that, you are going to practise that contents:

You have to add -ing. Please, be careful with the rules.

Complete the sentences and answer the questions.

Complete the conversation.

I hope you enjoyed.

If you think that something would be better, tell me. Your opinion is very important.

See you soon.

PRESENT SIMPLE

Hi guys!

Today we are going to talk about the Present Simple. Do you remember how we use it?

Well, the Present simple is used to talk about things that happens usually; at the same time, at the same way,.. We use it for the routines.

For example:

I always eat in a restaurant with my parents on Sunday.

He never eats vegetables.

They usually learn something new in class.

To use the Present Simple we use the infinitive form of the verb with: I, You, We and They. For example:

I talk

You eat

We learn

They go

For singular third persons: He, She and It, we add -s at the end of the verb. For example:

He talks

She eats

It does

He goes

She learns

- Affirmative

We always use that structure:

Examples:

My brother goes everyday to the cinema.

I wake up at eight o´clock.

I go to the gym on mondays.

- Negative

We always use that structure:

Examples:

My brother doesn´t go to the cinema.

I don´t wake up at eight o´clock.

I don´t go to the gym on mondays.

- Interrogative

We always use that structure:

Examples:

Does your brother go to the cinema?

Do you wake up at eight o´clock?

Do you go to the gym?

Well gays, now you are going to practise that contents:

- Affirmative

- Negative  (Use short forms: isn´t, don´t, aren´t , doesn´t)

- Interrogative

I hope you enjoyed.

If you think that something would be better, tell me. Your opinion is very important.

See you soon.

STARTING WITH A REVIEW

Hi guys! We are going to start with a review to remember some importants things.

Do you remember...?

First, we are going to remember some important communicative structures.

When we want to tell something about a date, first we introduce the day´s number and then, the month. If it´s necessary, we also put "The" before the day´s number, and "Of" between it and the month.

For example:

Today is (the) First (of) November.

If we want to ask something about what, where, why, who, whose,... we use the "Wh" questions.
Firstly, we introduce the Wh particle and after that, we introduce the auxiliary verb and the rest of the sentence.

For example:

Where did your parents live last year?

Why are you going to meet them?

What do you think about that?

To introduce yourself, yo have to use TO BE VERB.

For example:

I am Cristina. I am from Lorca. I am 22 years old.








Well gays, after the review of that, you are going to practise that contents:

Put the dates on the box with its correct forms:

Put the correct Wh particle on the boxes:

You are at the train station, and you want to cheking. You have to introduce yourself to Holly:

I hope you enjoyed.
