LEVEL 4 GRAMMAR, NOVEMBER 16TH, 2017

We revised the differences between the Present Simple and Continuous

Present Simple	Present Continuous
I eat She eats I don’t eat She doesn’t eat Do you eat? Does he eat? Always Sometimes Every day Usually	I am eating He is eating I am not eating He is not eating Are you eating? Is he eating? What is he eating? At the moment Now Definite plans for the future (what are you doing at the weekend?)

Some expressions that came up during the class:

To get on

Eg. – how are you getting on? = how are you doing?

How are you getting on with your new job?

How are you getting on in your new house?

We then went on to the past tense.

Regular verbs add “ed”

I wash - I washed

I live – I lived (if the verb ends in “e” we just add “d”)

I study – I studied (if the verb ends in “consonant – y” then we change the “y” to “ied”)

I play – I played (if the verb ends in “vowel – y” then we just add “ed”)

For homework we have to complete the exercises on p.25 and p.26 on the irregular past tense forms.
