Present simple
We use the present simple to describe:

We use adverbs of frequency with the present simple:

I always / sometimes / rarely / never write letters.
I write letters once / ten times a week / year.
The verb be doesn't have the sarne form as Other verbs:
I am a student.
They are not here.

Present continuous
We use the present continuous to describe:
 actions right now, at the moment of speaking:

We often use these time expressions with the present continuous:

Unit 2
Past simple

We use the past simple to talk about completed actions and situationsin the past.

I went to Greece last summer. lt was amazing.

I didnt want to leave.
Where did you stay?
The form of the past simple is the same for all persons.

In positive statements, regular verbs have ed endings:

I decided yesterday.
We played volleyball on the beach.

However, many common verbs are irregular:

go = I went there last year.

have = We had a Iot of fun.
see = She saw the Taj Mahal.
Past continuos

We use the past continuous to describe something in progress at a particular

time in the past.

In 2010, I was living in Poland.

At 11 0'clock, he was waiting by the fountain.
When they arrived, I was cooking dinner.

Use the past continuous with the past simple:

 to describe long and short actions together:

I was reading my book when the plane took off.
 to describe a longer action that stopped suddenly because something
else happened: When I was driving to work, my car broke down.

We can use when to join the two parts of a sentence:

When my car broke down, I was driving to work.

My car broke down when I was driving to work.

Unit 3
Present perfect or past simple

We use the present perfect to talk about past experiences.

The present perfect refers to the whole past, not a particular time.

Regular past participles end in -ed. e.g. I have worked

Many past participles are irregular, e.g. I have bought

The past simple and past participle are often different, e.g i drove; i have
driven.

We often use ever and never with the present perfect to talk about our whole life
experience. ever and never come before the past participle in the sentence

We can also use once/twice/three times etc. at the end of a sentence to say
how many times we have had an experience.

Present perfect with just, already and yet

We can use the present perfect to talk about the recent past.

Use present perfect with just in positive statements to say that something
happened a very short time ago.

just comes before the past participle in the sentence.

We also use justin present perfect questions.

A Has shejust left?

B No, she wenta few hours ago.
The present perfect with already in positive statements shows that something is
complete, often before we expected.

already usually comes before the past participle.

We also use already in present perfect questions to show surprise.

Have you already done all your work?

Use present perfect with yet:

 in a negative staternent to show that something is not complete.

 in a question to ask if sornething is complete.

Unit 4
Present continuous
The present continuous is more natural to talk about arrangements, when you
have agreed something with other people or you have already spent money.

I’m getting married next week. (We have arranged and paid for everything.)
I’m meeting Mary at the library tomorrow.

We use both the present continuous and going to + infinitive to talk about future
plans — things we have decided to do in the future. In most situations, both
forms are possible.

I'm taking an English exam next year.

I'm going to take an English exam next year.

Going to

Be going to + infinitive tells people about a plan or intention, when you have
already decided to do something in the future.

We're going to get married next year. (We have decided this, but we haven't
booked anything yet.) After the exams, we're going to celebrate. (

Will / won't / shall

We use willl to show we are deciding something while we are speaking:

A Would you like tea or coffee?
B I’ll have tea, please.

This is often to make Offers and promises:

A Oh no — l've left my money at home!
B Don 't worry — I'll pay.
We can make a request with will:

Will you take a photograph?

Will you give me a lift to the cinema tomorrow?

We use shall in questions to make offers and suggestions:

Shall I pay foryour food? (= l'm offering to pay.)

Shall we go to the cinema this weekend? (= l'm suggesting this.)

We can also use shall to ask for a suggestion:

A What shall we do this evening? We often reply to these questions with Let's +
infinitive:

Must and have to have very similar meanings.

Must is often used in written rules:

parents etc.:

lt is very common in spoken English:

the future.

Unit 6 Imperative

We use the imperative and shouldto give advice to tell other people what we
think is the best or the right thing to do.

Imperative

The imperative is stronger than should. lt tells somebody exactly what to do.

We can use it to give

 advice:
Try to get a good night' s sleep.
Don’t stay up late.

 instructions:
Dont turn right! Turn left!
Come here!

 Warnings:

Be careful!

The imperative is the infinitive of the verb with no subject. gor negative
imperatives, use don't+ infinitive

Should
Should is a bit less strong than the imperative. lt shows that what,we are saying
is advice, not an instruction.

Should is a modal auxiliary verb lt is the same for all persons.

We often use phrases Iike I think, I don't think and do you think? to introduce
advice with should.
I think / I don't think you should go to bed.
A Do you think I should say sorry?
B Yes, l think so. / No, i don’t think so

When two verhs go together in a sentence, certain verbs are followed by to
infinitive:
