VERB TENSES
- PRESENT
- simple
- positive
Anmerkungen:
- The verb 'be' is different from the other verbs in this tense.
- I am play
- negative
Anmerkungen:
- the negative. It's very easy. You only add 'not'.
- I do not play
- question
Anmerkungen:
- the question form of the present simple with 'be'. Firstly, here's the 'yes / no' question form:
- do I play ?
- continous
Anmerkungen:
- We make it using thepresent simple of 'be' + verb-ing:
- negative
- I am not sleeping
- positive
- I am sleeping
- question
- am I eating chocolate ?
- perfect simple
- negative
Anmerkungen:
- The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after 'have' or 'has':
- I have not eaten breakfast today
- positive
Anmerkungen:
- To make the positive present perfect tense, use:'have' / 'has' + the past participleMake the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes 'played')There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study' becomes 'studied')We also have some completely irregular verbs
- I have played
- question
Anmerkungen:
- To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:
- have I missed the bus?
- PAST
- continous
Anmerkungen:
- How can we make the past continuous? Firstly, check that you know how to make the past simple with 'be' (subject + was / were). Then just add verb-ing.
- positive
- I was sleeping
- negative
- I was not (wasn't) sleeping
- question
- Was I listening?
- perfect simple
Anmerkungen:
- We don't use the past perfect a lot in English, but it is useful, and it sounds very good if you can use it correctly. Also, it's really easy to make - just the past simple of 'have' and the past participle.
- positive
- I had been
- negative
- I had not been
- question
- Had I come?
- simple
Anmerkungen:
- It's similar to the present simple because it has different rules for the verb 'be', which becomes 'was' or 'were':
