Past Continuous Form And Use
The document discusses the past continuous tense in English grammar. It provides examples of affirmative and interrogative sentences using the past continuous tense. It also describes three main uses of the past continuous tense: 1) to describe an ongoing past action over a period of time, 2) to say someone was in the middle of an action at a certain time, and 3) how the past simple and past continuous tenses are used together when one action interrupted another ongoing action.
Present continuous with future meaning
The present continuous tense can be used to refer to future events that have already been planned or scheduled, such as activities one has arranged to do on a specific date. This differs from using the future tense with "going to" which refers more to general or unfixed plans. Examples include asking what someone is doing tomorrow evening or stating that one is working next Sunday, both of which refer to planned future events expressed using the present continuous tense.
PAST SIMPLE, NEGATIVE FORM
To form the negative past simple tense in English, the auxiliary verb "did" is used with the subject followed by "not" and the base form of the main verb. For the verb "to be", "didn't" is used instead of "did not". Examples show the affirmative and negative forms of common past simple verbs like go, live, and play using subjects like I, you, she, and they.
Gerunds and infinitives
Gerunds and infinitives can function as nouns, subjects, objects, or subject complements. Gerunds are formed with the "-ing" form of the verb and can be objects of prepositions. Infinitives are formed with "to" plus the base verb form. Certain verbs are followed by gerunds or infinitives with slight differences in meaning. Both gerunds and infinitives can occur in various tenses and aspects.
