SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE
The simple present tense is used for repeated actions, as for example talking
about habits. In the time line the representation is as follows.
Let’s analyze the sentences above. I go to church every Sunday. It means that in the past,
in the present,and in the future, I repeat the action. If we see the second example, I like
hamburgers, it means that I have always eats hamburgers and that I will always eat them.
The same things happen with the sentence, my mother buys food every two weeks. It
means that she has the habit of buying it every two weeks.
Simple Present is also used for talking about real facts. It is to say that all people in the
world know a real truth. For example:
So let’s keep in mind that the Simple present is used as mentioned above.
23
The simple present tense has three main structures:
The boy eats a hamburger. The boy doesn’t eat hamburger Does the boy eat hamburger?
I go to the church every I don’t go to the church Do I go to the church
every every
Sunday.
Sunday. Sunday?
They go to the They don't go the Do they go to the
supermarket supermarket supermarket
each week. each week. each week?
Affirmative form:
Subject Verb Complement
I Work for a company.
You work for a company.
He works for a company.
She works for a company.
It works in a company.
We work in a company
24
Pay special attention to the chart, the structure of how to form the Simple Present in
affirmative form. In this tense, it is important to remark that the conjugation of the third
person singular, which is he, she, it, adds an “S” or “ES” in spelling in affirmative form
according to certain rules.
RULE # 1
Verbs that end in “ss” “ch” “sh” or “x” add “es” to the end of the verb:
Luana brushES her hair with a new hair brush. (to brush)
The principal crossES by the aisles of the institution every morning. (to cross)
25
Rule # 2
The second rule states that verbs ending in a consonant followed by 'y', we remove the
'y' and add 'ies' to the end of the verb. This does not apply to verbs ending in a vowel
followed by 'y', which are conjugated normally.
We fly It flies
We hurry He hurries
I imply He implies
EXCETPIONS:
But with verbs
ending in
vowel + y, we
just add –s as
usual. I play –
he plays
Examples:
26
It plays old long plays.
RULE # 3

We don’t work in a company
You don’t work in a company.
They don’t work in a company.
Verb Complement
Take into account that don’t and doesn’t are the contracted forms for the negative form.
All we need to do is to add the existing structure the negative words: don’t or doesn’t,
according to the pronoun itself.
29
Complete these sentences using DON’T or DOESN’T, then choose the
right picture for each one.
Remember for the interrogative form we write the auxiliary verb first, and for the third
person singular we don’t need to conjugate the verb since we have already done it in
the auxiliary verb.
Ex:
He washes the dishes every night
Does he wash the dishes every night?
30
THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE
The PRESENT CONTINUOUS or PRESENT PROGRESSIVE is used to show
that action is happening at the time of speaking. It can be used to express
an action is happening in a near future. Keep reading for checking on
some examples and exercises.

books in Spanish.
The examples above, show how the Present Continuous tense is used, while the action
is happening. We have three different structures to form the present continuous tense.
The affirmative form, the negative form, and the interrogative form.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS INTERROGATIVE FORM
The interrogative form of the present continuous is used to ask about something that is
happening at the time of speaking. Remember this tense is used at the time of the
speech. The following chart

Simple Present vs Present Continuous Tense
The simple present and present continuous can be used indistinctly in paragraphs to
describe actions according to their use.
36
CAN and CAN’T
As a modal verb, it doesn’t take the third person singular form, and at the time it can be
used together
with other verbs. Example:
The bird CAN fly far away. (In this sentence the verb can expresses a
physical ability of the bird of doing an action)
I can stay over at Pete’s when he is not working. (In this sentence, can is
used as permission, the sentence expresses that only when Pete is at home,
the person has the permission of staying at his house).
You can earn good money if you work hard. (In this sentence, the possibility
of making good money will come if the person works hard.
37
Put in order the following sentences under each column
She can speak three languages.
They can come if they behave.
I can play videogames if I finish my homework.
Can I go to the park?
He can run very fast.
Can you get here before eight?
Complete the following exercise using CAN and CAN’T properly. Match
two ways:
NOTICE that CAN’T is the contracted form or CANNOT. Now let’s answer these
personal questions.
38
Can you run fast?
Frequency Adverbs
This new topic refers to the frequency with which we develop the repletion of actions
frequently. See the chart to associate the frequency each word encloses.
The first frequency we use is the frequency ALWAYS which represent a 100%. It means
the action is repeated every day.
Example:
39
I always study at home.
As you can see the action is repeated every day. It represents a 100%.
As you can see the action is repeated every day except on Monday, this will represent
USUALLY a 90%.
As you can see the action is repeated most of the days but not on Mondays, nor
Wednesdays, this represents, FREQUENTLY an 80%.
We can observe that in the picture above the action is repeated four days out of seven,
which will represent OFTEN a 70%.
40
Sometimes I study at home.
Sometimes expresses that half of the whole time, we perform an action, as you can see
in the picture above, SOMETIMES represents a 50%.
As you can see in the picture above, seldom represents a 10% of the repeated action.
In this last example you can see the action is not performed at all, which will represent
NEVER, a 0%.
41
Let’s practice:
According to the following grid, write the correct adverb of frequency to complete
the sentence.
Always
Usually
Frequently
Often
Sometimes
Ocassionally
Seldom
Never
I go to the dentist.
My friend goes to the supermarket.
Past time words, are used in tenses related to the past, actions that are over, or not
happening anymore. Past time words include the following expressions.
42
Above, you could clearly see how to create some sentences.
CLASS ACTIVITY:
Divide your class into two teams. Then give them the four cards to each one from the
chart below. Tell them to create sentences. For each accurate sentence, you will give
one point. The winner will be the most accurate group.
The Past Continuous is a tense that is used in past to express progression of actions
that happened in the past. For example:
It was raining yesterday. (At certain time in the past an action in progression occurred).
We need to take into consideration that as in any tense it has three main structures
which are:
Affirmative, negative and interrogative form.
43
The affirmative form is as follows:
SUBJECT VERB TO
ING VERB COMPLEMENT
PRONOUN BE IN PAST
Negative form
SUBJECT VERB NEGATIV
ING VERB COMPLEMEN
PRONOU TO BE E
T
N WORD
I WAS NOT SINGING A SONG.
Singular
44
These were the structures used to form the past continuous form.
The past continuous tense, which represents an action in progression in the past. Pay
attention to the next example:
My aunt Rosaline, lives in Pascuales Avenue, near to very big Public School.
Yesterday, she was in her house. She cooked early for all of us. While she was
cooking, the telephone rang. She ran to answer it, but unfortunately, she fell
down. She was crying in a lot of pain, but fortunately, my cousin quickly took her
to the hospital. Luckily, she was assisted immediately, and now she is stable at
home.
In the paragraph above, you could see there was exact information such as: She was in
her house. She cooked early for all of us. She rang to answer it. She fell down. My
cousin took her to the hospital. She was assisted. All these sentences started in the
past and ended in the past. The following sentences, she was cooking, she was crying
in a lot of pain. These sentences show a progression of actions that were happening in
the moment of the event.
Now its your turn, analyze the following sentences and write the correct
tense. Moreover, write the correct letter for each sentence in relation to the
picture.
45
B) She __________(hurt) her leg, while she_______________(run) at the park.
F) They ________(install) the cable tv, when the power ________(go) off.
Write two sentences using the past continuous and simple past
combined.
46
We use the modal verb “used to” to indicate something
that happened in the past in a habitual way. Also, it is
used for something that was true but is no longer true. As
with the other modal verbs, "used to" is followed by the
base form of the verb (the infinitive without "to").
My cousins used to collect bottles in the past, now he has a recycling company.
The sense of this sentence means that it is something I liked in the past, but that now, I
don’t do anymore.
47
For the negative form, we use the auxiliary did + not (didn’t) and the base form of
the verb.
Pay attention that the auxiliary is in past, and the verb USE goes in base form and
then infinitive.
The sentence expresses that in the past the action was not performed, but now it is
something the person enjoys doing.
a. Used be
b. Used to be
c. Used
We in New York when we were young.
a) Used lived
b) Used to live
c) Use living
Jamie speaks Italian now, but he _____ speak it when he was younger
a) Didn’t used
b) Didn’t using to
c) Didn’t use to
a) Using to
b) Used to
c) Used
48
Can you believe grandpa run marathons when he was young?
a) Use running
b) Used to
c) Using
A) Speak louder.
B) Sit down.
C) Open you book.
D) Make silence.
To make a negative imperative form, write don’t or do not before the verb.
49
Match the correct negative imperative form to the picture.
Mateo and his parents visited a zoo last weekend. There were some rules of do’s and
don’ts to follow. To start with, they were asked not to feed the animals. Other thing
they cannot do was to take pictures with flash to the animals. The zookeepers
requested Mateo´s family, not to step on the grass areas. Another recommendation
was not to touch the animals or stand any close. Help Mateo out creating a chart of
the rules of the zoo.
50
Negative imperative form: Complete the zoo rules using the negative
imperative form.

Might and might not, (possibility)
Might is a modal verb that can express possibility of something happening. To study
furtherinformation of the modal verb might we are going to use the table below:
We can find another modal verb with a similar meaning, the modal verb “May”.
• May is much more common to ask permission since it sounds more natural:
May I go to the bathroom? – Yes, you may
• We can also use may for possibility, there’s a small difference between might
and may for possibility.
• We usually use “May” when we have a 50% or up chances that something can
happen.
• While we use “Might” when our chances are 40% or below that something can
happen
• Use “may” to express a wish
May this Christmas be your best Christmas ever.
