Hi dear hesse gharib
I think it would be better not to use lots of color in your lessons. thank you so much for your useful lessons. In the following if you are agree I want to send some grammar points and tenses:
Now in the followig of dear hesse gharib post I want to help each other to form a basic or an advance grammar topic of verbal tenses and usage of each one with some examples to learn them better so I need your help. It’s necessary to say the following has elected from some grammar books and softwares so I think our examples would be better than these. In the following there is an introduction and after that first group of tenses I mean Present Tenses (PT’s):GeneralEnglish has Present, Past, and Future tenses of verbs. However, each tense contains up to four forms. It is very important to know which of the forms to use and what this usage means in speech or in writing. We will discuss structure and usage of the most common verbal forms.An English verb usually has two characteristics:time - it belongs to the Present, Past, or the Future tense;aspect - it is Indefinite, Perfect, or Continuous. Thus, for example, in the sentence "I received a letter from my friend" the verb "to receive" is in the Past Indefinite, while in the sentence "I have just received a letter from my friend" the verb "to receive" is used in the Present Perfect, which is formed with the help of the auxiliary verb "to have". In this tense the form of the verb "to receive" is "have received". The most common tenses of English verbs are: Present Indefinite, Present Continuous, Present Perfect, Past Indefinite, Past Continuous, Past Perfect, Future Indefinite, and the "Going To" Future.Present Indefinite (Present Simple)
The Present Indefinite Tense is used to describe general or regular actions that do not have any definite time boundaries.
Example:
He wears glasses.
What do you study at school?
Sometimes we meet and go to the movies.
The form of a verb in Present Indefinite is the same as the main (dictionary) form (without the particle "to") in all persons and numbers except the third person singular. In the third person singular (he, she, it) the main form of a verb receives the ending -s(-es). Conjugation of the English verb "to tell" in the Present Indefinite: I tell; we tell; you tell; he (she, it) tells; they tell.
The most widely used English verbs "to be, to have, to do" are conjugated in the Present Tense in a special way. These forms should be memorized, since these verbs, besides their direct meaning, are used as auxiliary verbs to form other verbal constructions.
Example:
I have a car.
Pat does it every day.
Max likes telling stories. Bill is our president.
The Present Indefinite Tense can also be used to refer to scheduled events in the near future.
Example:
Your plane leaves at 3 p.m.
In two weeks we move out.
The Present Indefinite Tense, not a future tense, must be used in English conditional (if, unless, in case), temporal (when, after, before, until, as soon as, while), and concessive (even if, even though, whatever, whenever) clauses.
Example:
Unless he comes on time, there won"t be any party.
You"ll have dinner after you wash your hands.
Whatever they do tomorrow, we are going to leave.
Present Continuous
The Present Continuous Tense is used to describe actions that are taking place at the present moment. The Present Continuous is formed by the verb "to be" in the Present Indefinite and the Present Active Participle of the verb itself.
Example:
To write: He is writing a letter now.
To wait: I am waiting for a bus.
To read: We are reading the script together.
To play: Children are playing baseball in the park.
The Present Continuous Tense can also be used to refer to planned events in the near future.
Example:
We are going out this Saturday. Tonight I am staying home.
Present Perfect
The Present Perfect Tense is used to show that the result of an action that has already taken place in the past has direct significance for the present moment. The Present Perfect form is a combination of the verb "to have" in the Present Indefinite and the Past Passive Participle of the verb itself.
Example:
To buy: I have bought myself new shoes.
To use up: They have used up all his toothpaste.
To get: We have just got a letter from our friend.
I am waiting for your examples in these three group of present tenses.
At the end similar to always correct me in all aspects from lexical and grammatical problems.
