2. BE GOING TO expresses plans, intentions, and predictions based on evidence. It implies more preparation than WILL.
3. THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS talks about planned future events.
4. THE FUTURE CONTINUOUS discusses actions that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.
5. THE FUTURE PERFECT expresses actions that will be completed before a specified time in the future.
First conditional
The document discusses the first conditional, which is used to talk about possible situations in the present or future. It has an if-clause (e.g. "if you study hard") and a main clause (e.g. "you will pass the test"). Several examples are provided to illustrate using the first conditional to talk about things that may happen, such as "If it's sunny, we'll go to the park." Exercises are included for the reader to practice forming first conditional sentences.

Present perfect Simple
The document provides an overview of the present perfect tense in English, including its form, uses, and contrast with the past simple tense. It discusses how the present perfect is used to describe completed past actions without a specific time reference, experiences that began in the past and continue to the present, and questions with "how long". It also covers the use of words like "already", "yet", "just", and "ever/never" with the present perfect.
Past simple
The document discusses the simple past tense in English. It explains how regular verbs are formed by adding "-ed" or "-d" and how irregular verbs have unique past forms that must be memorized. It also covers the formation of negative and interrogative sentences. Examples are provided to illustrate affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences using both regular and irregular verbs. Special cases like the verb "to be" are also addressed.
Past perfect
The document discusses the past perfect tense and how it is used to describe events that occurred before other past events. Specifically, it states that the past perfect uses "had" plus the past participle to talk about the earlier action, while the past simple tense is used for the later action. It provides examples of using the past perfect with time expressions like "by the time" and "when." It also reviews forming the past perfect simple tense and provides exercises for learners to practice using various past tenses in sentences referring to past time.
Past continuous
The document discusses the past continuous tense in English. It provides examples of affirmative and negative forms of the past continuous tense using different subjects. It then describes three main uses of the past continuous tense: 1) to talk about an ongoing action in the past, 2) to describe two simultaneous ongoing actions in the past, and 3) to contrast an ongoing action with a short action that interrupted it. The document concludes by comparing the past continuous with the past simple tense and providing additional examples.
Summary reported speech
The document discusses the changes needed when reporting speech in indirect or reported speech. It covers reporting statements, yes/no questions, WH- questions, orders, and suggestions. For statements, changes include switching to past tense and changing pronouns. For questions, the reporting verb is changed and pronouns/tenses are adjusted. Orders use an infinitive structure after the reporting verb. Suggestions can use a gerund or "that" clause structure.
Verbal tenses uses
This document discusses the uses of the present simple tense in English. It is used to describe habits, routines, general truths, and states. Stative verbs like "think" and "feel" are also used in the present simple. The present continuous tense describes actions happening at the moment of speaking, temporary actions, and planned future actions. The past simple tense describes completed past actions, while the present perfect tense describes actions that began in the past and continue to the present or have relevance to the present. The future forms "be going to" and "will" are also discussed.
Prepositions of time and place
The document outlines the main uses of the prepositions of time and place "in", "on", and "at". It provides examples of how each preposition is used to indicate specific times, days, dates, addresses, and other contexts. "In" is used for periods of time like months, years, seasons, and locations like cities and countries. "On" indicates specific days of the week and dates. "At" is used for clock times, events, addresses, and expressions involving location. It also notes the difference between "at night" and "in the night".
Past tenses
The document discusses various aspects of using tenses in the past, including:
- The past simple tense for completed actions
- The past continuous tense for ongoing actions in the past
- The past perfect tense for actions completed before another past action
- "Used to" for past habits or states
Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses of these tenses.
Relative clauses
Relative clauses provide additional information about a noun called the antecedent. There are two types of relative clauses: defining and non-defining. Defining clauses give essential information to identify the antecedent, while non-defining clauses provide non-essential information between commas. Relative pronouns like who, which, that introduce the clause and can be the subject or object, with object pronouns sometimes omitted. The meaning of sentences depends on whether a defining or non-defining clause is used.
