SIMPLE TENSES:
PRESENT, PAST AND FUTURE.

2. is a tense that mentions a common,
everyday action or routine.

3. Jacob studies in Valencia
He Watches t.v. at night

4. can also be used to describe
a habit which stopped in the
past. You can have the same
meaning as " used to . " To
make it clear that we are
talking about a habit , we
often add expressions such
as : always , often , usually ,
never, when I was a child,
when I was younger , etc.

5. I wrote a story about animals
Sheryl played with her dog
.

6. Simple Future has two different forms in
English: "will" and "be going to." Although
the two forms can sometimes be used
interchangeably, they often express two very
different meanings. These different
meanings might seem too abstract at first,
but with time and practice, the differences
will become clear. Both "will" and "be going
to" refer to a specific time in the future

7. Lisa will read to us
Marco will go to school

8. is mainly used to express the idea
that something is happening at the
moment of speaking. The Present
Continuous also describes activities
generally in progress (not at the
moment). Another use of the tense
is to talk about temporary actions or
future plans.

9. I am visiting grandpa in the afternoon.
Mary is working at McDonald's.

10. is formed from the past tense of be
with the -ing form of the verb
We use the past continuous to talk
about the past:

11. The children were doing their homework
when I got home.
Everyone was shouting.

12. It is used to express a continued or an
ongoing action in future. For example,
“I will be waiting for you tomorrow”,
it conveys ongoing nature of an action
(waiting) which will occur in future.

13. Will you be feeling well tomorrow?
She will be a speech to people.
