5. A Note to Students and Teachers:
These lessons are not intended to
Introduce you to the English verb
system.
Use them as a review of what
you’ve
already learned.

6. Are English Verbs “Ichsa”?
Are you miserable because you make
mistakes with English verbs?
Do you think you will never be able to learn?
Are you sorry you didn’t listen to your
teacher?

7. It’s not really so hard!!!
You CAN speak and write good English
You CAN get good grades on English exams.
You only have to learn a few simple rules.
Are you ready to LEARN and PRACTICE?

8. LESSON 1
An Overview

9. We talk a lot in these lessons
about V1, V2, and V3. What in the
world are V1, V2, and V3?

10. Does this look familiar?
– eat ate eaten
– fall fell fallen
– fly flew flown
This is the table of irregular verbs that we know and
love!
V1 is the first column (“eat”, ,(‫המקור‬ ‫צורת‬
V2 is the second column (“ate”, past simple form),
V3 is the third column (“eaten”, called—oh well, V3)

11. Lots of people forget that a verb that ends in “d” or
“ed” doesn’t have to be a verb in the simple past.
Maybe it’s a regular verb in V3 DISGUISED as a
simple past verb.
For example:
love loved loved
hate hated hated
worry worried worried

12. 5 Verb Formulas
 be + ing (progressive)--He was crying.
 be + V3 (passive)--He was beaten.
Four men were killed.
 have + V3 (perfect)--I have already eaten.
 do + V1 (simple)-- Do you love me?
I don’t hate you.
 modal + V1 (modal)--I can wait.

23. do
do, does did
do + V1 (simple)
I don’t enjoy homework.
Do you like school?

24. A special note about DO:
We say that do is the helping verb for
the “simple” tenses, but if they’re
“simple”, then so is making peace with
our neighbors!
Pay attention:

25. With PRESENT SIMPLE and
PAST SIMPLE ONLY:
In present simple and past simple, there are 3 kinds
of sentences:
– POSITIVE (+) Harry understands Amharic.
– NEGATIVE (-) Jill doesn’t understand
Amharic.
– QUESTION (?) Does Jill understand French?
What’s going on here????

26. In ( + ), the verb really has 2 jobs:
1) MEANING (UNDERSTANDS (‫להבין‬--
2) GRAMMAR (UNDERSTANDS), which
includes:
•Time (understands, not understood;
“‫מבין‬”‫ולא‬“‫הבין‬”)
•Number -- “understands ”can’t be ‫רבים‬
(think of he/she/it, which are all (‫יחיד‬
•Person -- “understands” can’t be first
person (I understands???) or second
person (you understands????)

27. ‫ב‬) + (‫את‬ ‫עצמו‬ ‫על‬ ‫מקבל‬ ‫הפועל‬

28. Now do you understand why
the main verb must always
be
‫המקור‬ ‫בצורת‬?

29. Let’s Practice....
Use what you’ve learned to fill in the missing word(s):
“Shlomi loves computers. Before his father bought
him a computer, he thought he would never be
able to learn. He didn’t ________ he was clever
enough. But now he’s a real professional!”
“If Shlomi didn’t _________ computers to begin
with, why did his father ________ him a
computer?”
“He __________ to encourage him. He knew that
computers can be a wonderful help with
schoolwork.”

30. Let’s Practice....

33. BUT
Don’t think BE/HAVE/DO can only
be helping verbs (.‫עזר‬ ‫פועלי‬)
Often they are main verbs (.‫העיקרי‬ ‫הפועל‬)

34. be/have/do as main verbs:
You are being stupid!
Dan has had too many absences.
What did you do last night?

35. In the following passage, write “HV” in the
parentheses after a Helping Verb. If the word isn’t a
helping verb, DON’T WRITE ANYTHING.
My parents never listen to me. Sometimes they want
me to do ( ) something that I don’t ( ) want to
do ( ), or else they want me to not do ( ) what I
do ( ) want. I have ( ) always been ( ) jealous
of Moshe. His parents are ( ) so understanding!
He doesn’t ( ) have ( ) any problems with them.

40. LESSON 3
A Few Words About
Modals and
Semi-Modals

41. modals
shall, will, should, would, may,
might, must, can, could, ought
modal + V1 (modal)
Miri can speak four languages.
We must finish.
Would you like some coffee?
©Rachel Bar Yosef, 1997

42. A NOTE ABOUT SEMI-MODALS
You shouldn’t--indeed, you can’t--use “can” in the
past or in the future tense.
Use a form of “be able to” instead, or (in past tense),
use “could”.
Examples: I can’t speak Russian.
I was able to or could speak it when I was young.
I will be able to speak it again after my trip to
Moscow.

43. A NOTE ABOUT SEMI-MODALS
Another way to say “must” is “have to” (they both
mean the same thing). In fact, in negative
sentences (-), questions (?), and in the past or
future tenses, you can’t use “must”; you have to
use “have to”.
Example: I must hurry. I have to hurry.
You don’t have to hurry.
She had to hurry so that she wouldn’t
be late.

44. Let’s Practice....

“Yes, I do, please, if you don’t _________ me to

“Well, I’m ____________ somebody else right now, but I

________ you come back in ten minutes?”
“OK. And in the meantime, I __________ try again. Maybe
