If you want, you can print this overview as PDF Good luck! Grammar - Future Simple Tense Future tense future with will - use We use the simple future for: 1. A decision at the moment of speaking (a spontaneous action): I'm cold. I'll close the window. 2. Prediction based on opinion: I think the Conservatives will win the next election. 3. A future fact: The sun will rise at 7am. 4. Promises / requests / refusal / willingness: I'll help you with your homework. Will you give me a hand? I will give up smoking! 5. Shall Shall is used mainly in the forms shall I? and shall we? in British English. These forms are used when you want to get someone's opinion, especially for offers and suggestions: - Shall I open the window? (= do you want me to open the window). - Where shall we go tonight? (= what's your opinion?). Pagina 2

4 future with will - form The simple future tense is very easy to make and is very useful. In business and other formal texts, the full form will plus infinitive (hele ww) is used However, in spoken English, s and personal letters, more often than not 'll is used.. Here's the positive form (will + infinitive): - I will meet him later (I'll..) - You will come (you'll..) - It will rain tomorrow (it'll..) - She will be late (she'll..) - He will help us later (he'll..) - We will get married in September (we'll..) - They will cook dinner (they'll..) Next, here's the negative form (add: not). In spoken English, s and personal letters, more often than not won't is used. However, in business and juridical texts, the full form will not is used. Here's the negative form (not): - I will not go (I won't..) - You will not be late (you won't..) - It will not snow tomorrow (it won't..) - She will not get the job (she won't..) - He will not pass the exam (he won't..) - We will not come (we won't..) - They will not stop (they won't..) NB: We use be going to + infinitive for: 1. Future plans made before the moment of speaking: We've run out of milk. I know, I'm going to buy some. 2. Prediction based on present evidence: Look at those boys playing football! They're going to break the window. Grammar - Present Continuous Tense Present (simple) continuous - use We use the Present Continuous Tense in the following cases: 1. Things that are happening at the moment of speaking. - I'm working at the moment. - Please call back as we are eating dinner now. - Julie is sleeping. Pagina 3

5 - You are studying the present continuous. 2. Temporary situations, when we feel something won't continue for a long time. - She's staying with her friend for a week. - I'm living in London for a few months. - John's working in a bar until he finds a job in his field. - I'm reading a really great book. The present simple is used for permanent situations that we feel will continue for a long time. 3. Temporary or new habits (for normal habits that continue for a long time, we use the present simple). - He's eating a lot these days. - She's swimming every morning (she didn't use to do this). - You're drinking too many Fristi's. - They're working late every night. 4. Annoying habits, when we want to show that something happens too often and we don't like it. - You're always losing your keys! - She's constantly missing the train. - He's always sleeping in. - They're forever being late. 5. Definite future arrangements (with a future time word). In this case we have already made a plan and we are pretty sure that the event will happen in the future. - I'm meeting my father tomorrow. - We're going to the beach at the weekend. - I'm leaving at three. - They're coming to the party at the weekend. 6. Finally we use this tense to talk about a situation which is slowly changing. - I'm getting better at playing the piano. - The weather is improving. Present simple continuous - form The Present simple continuous (sometimes called the Present Progressive) Tense in English is really easy to make and is the same for all verbs.we make it using the present simple of be + verb + -ing: Here is how we make the positive: Positive I am sleeping Positive Short Form I'm sleeping you are sleeping you're sleeping he is sleeping she is sleeping it is sleeping we are sleeping he's sleeping she's sleeping it's sleeping we're sleeping they are sleeping they're sleeping We can make the negative by adding not: Negative Negative Short Form Pagina 4

6 I am not sleeping I'm not sleeping You are not playing you aren't playing He is not reading he isn't reading She is not working she isn't working It is not raining it isn't raining We are not cooking we aren't cooking They are not listening they aren't listening Questions are also really easy. Just like we made the question with be in the present simple, here we also put am, is, or are before the subject to make a yes/no-question. For wh-questions, just put the question word at the front. yes/no questions Am I eating chocolate? Are you studying now? Is he working? why questions Why am I eating chocolate? What are you studying now? When is he working? Is she doing her homework? What is she doing? Is it raining? Are we meeting at six? Are they coming? Why is it raining? Who are we meeting? How are they travelling? Grammar - Past continuous Tense Past continuous tense - use We use the past continuous to indicate that someone was doing something in the past or that something was going on at a certain moment in the past. Past continuous tense - form We form the past continuous by using the past tense of 'to be': was/were + infinitive + - ing Examples: I was reading a book. Ik was een boek aan het lezen. Lisa was dancing with Jake. Lisa was met Jake aan het dansen. They were cleaning the car. Zij waren de auto aan het schoonmaken. Ook in vraagzinnen en ontkennende zinnen kun je de past continuous gebruiken: Vraagzin Ontkenning I was working. Was I working? I wasn't working. You were working. Were you working? You weren't working. He was working. Was he working? He wasn't working. We were working. Were we working? We weren't working. They were working. Were they working? They weren't working. Pagina 5

7 Grammar - past perfect continuous tense Past perfect continuous - use We use the past perfect continuous when we talk about something that was happening until a moment in the past. Past perfect continuous - form We form the pas perfect continuous by past tense of 'to have': had + been + infinitive + ing Voorbeelden: When they finally arrived, I had been waiting one hour. Toen ze eindelijk arriveerden, had ik een uur lang gewacht. John had been taking quite a few driving lessons, but he gave up. John heeft best een aardig aantal autorijlessen gehad, maar hij is gestopt.
