Present simple whit future

meaning

The present simple can have a future meaning when we talk about

timetables (for buses, trains or planes) or schedules (for concerts, films

or theatre).• "What time does Simon's plane get in?"

• — "His plane gets in at five."

• "And what time does the film start?"

• — "It starts at seven, so he should get there in time."

The present simple has a future meaning when

we use it to talk about fixed plans.

• "When do you start work?"

• — "I usually start at nine, but on Thursday I start

at ten

Future “be about to” + infinitive

verb + infinitive

Future Infinitive ( Be + To Infinitive )

Dear Learners,

We use future infinitive to express a sense of instruction or

necessity.

1. President Obama is to visit Burma next week. ( Active )

2. Humanitarian aids are to be airlifted to the flooded

Irrawaddy

region. ( Passive )

Infinitive Verb

Do you know the difference between an infinitive verb and a base verb? Or,

do you know when and how do you use infinitive verbs? These questions, and

their answers are the key to understanding the uses of an infinitive verb.

Defining an Infinitive Verb

Basically, an infinitive verb is a verb with the word “to” in front of it.

to be

to have

to hold

to sleep

to dream

When you use an infinitive verb, the “to” is a part of the verb. It is not acting

as a preposition in this case. And the verb is always just the verb. It’s not

conjugated in anyway – no -ed, no -ing, no -s on the end. Sometimes you’ll

see sentences like this:

She went from kissing him to slapping him in no time.

You see “to slapping,” and it’s easy to think that’s an infinitive verb, but it isn’t.

It’s a preposition (to) and a gerund (slapping). You can tell it’s not an infinitive

because of the -ing on the end of the verb. Infinitives never have an -ing

ending.

Present perfect simple +just/for/since.

Present perfect justThese words are often used with the present perfect tense although

yet, still and already can all be used with other tenses.

Just

‘Just’ is usually used only with the present perfect tense and it means

‘a short time ago’.

I’ve just seen Susan coming out of the cinema.

Mike’s just called. Can you ring him back please?

Have you just taken my pen? Where has it gone?

For + a period of time

for six years, for a week, for a month, for hours, for two hours

I have worked here for five years.

Present perfect with FOR

She has lived here for twenty years.

We have taught at this school for a long time.Alice has been married forthree months.

They have been at the hotel for a week.

Since + a point in time

since this morning, since last week, since yesterday

since I was a child, since Wednesday, since 2 o'clock

I have worked here since 1990.

Present perfect with SINCE

She has lived here since 1980.

We have taught at this school since 1965.

Alice has been married since March 2nd.

They have been at the hotel since last Tuesday.

Reported speech

If we report what another person has said, we usually do not use the

speaker’s exact words (direct speech), but reported (indirect) speech.

Therefore, you need to learn how to transform direct speech into

reported speech. The structure is a little different depending on

whether you want to transform a statement, question or request.

Statements

When transforming statements, check whether you have to change:

pronounspresent tense verbs (3rd person singular)

place and time expressions

tenses (backshift)

Past tense of there is/there are

Past thense of there is

Has the meaning of "having". Is formed with "there" followed by the present of the verb

"to be" in the singular or plural, as appropriate.

There is a book There's a book

There are some books There are some books

'There is' is used with singular count nouns and uncountable nouns.

'There are' used with count nouns in plural.

affirmative

'There is' and 'there are' formed with the present of the verb "to be" in its affirmative

form.

'There's' is the short form there is.

'There are "generally is not contracted, although sometimes it is done in informal

Past tense of there are

There are "generally is not contracted, although sometimes it is done in

informal language.

Example

There are long Plural form some shops There are some shops

Plural There aren't any shops

Introduction to the passive voice

ExplanationThis is one way of introducing your students to the passive voice, and

illustrating it’s meaning.

1. Using a series of picture cards of different kinds of money from around the world, show the students a picture of one form of money,

and ask the students “Where is this used?” If they don’t get the basic

gist of what you are asking, you may ask “what country is this from”

and then revert to “where is this used” later. Let the students guess

which country the money is from, and when one of them gets it right, announce “It is used in (country)” and repeat the sentence a second

time.

2. After repeating this process with a number of different currencies,

ask the students what sentence you kept repeating. Write “It is used in

Japan” (or whatever country you choose) on the black board, and ask the students to try to guess the meaning. Guide the students to the

proper translation in Japanese (ask your JTE to help if necessary).

3. Point out that there’s something strange about the sentence, and

ask them what’s odd about it. Things to make them notice:

- There are two verbs ( a “to be” verb, and another verb). This is not

normal

Present simple past

Something is done by someone regularly / everyday / as expected...

Active : My mother doesn't paint the walls.
