Tuesday: present simple and present continuous.
Simple Present Tense indicates an action which happens in the present,
but it isn’t necessary for actions to happen right now.
The Structures of Simple Present Tense
POSITIVE FORMS (+):
Subject (I, You, We, They) + V1  ( First Form of Verb).
Subject (He, She, It) + VERB – S / ES / IES.
NEGATIVE FORMS (-) :  
Subject (I, You, We, They) + do not / don’t + V1  ( First Form of Verb ).
Subject (He, She, It ) + does not / doesn’t + V1  ( First Form of Verb ).
QUESTION FORMS (?) :
Do + Subject (I, You, We, They ) + V1  ( First Form of Verb ).
Does + Subject (He, She, It ) + V1  ( First Form of Verb ).

- In Simple Present Tense, we add the suffix -s at the end of the verbs for
the third singular subjects (He, She, It ) . On the other hand, we use first
forms of the verbs for other subjects (I, You, We, You, They).

- Although we add the suffix -s at the end of the verb for the third
singular subjects in possitive sentences, we remove the suffix -s at the
end of the verb in questions and negative sentences because of being
used ‘does’ or  ‘doesn’t’ as an auxiliary verb.

Present Continuous Tense indicate an action which is in progress at the

time of speaking or at the present time.
The Structures of Present Continuous/Progressive Tense
POSITIVE FORM (+):  
▪ Subject + BE ( am / is / are ) + Verb-ING
NEGATIVE FORM (-):
▪ Subject + BE ( am / is / are ) + NOT + Verb-ING
QUESTION FORM (?):
▪ BE ( am / is / are ) + Subject + Verb-ING
SHORT ANSWER FORM ( + / – ) :
▪ YES / NO + Subject + BE / BE NOT 
I am starting.
I am not (I’m not) starting.
Am I starting?.
Wednesday: present perfect simple and past simple.

Present Perfect Tense is used to express an event that started in the past and the
impact of the event is now continuing (or a long-running event that started in the
past and is still going on). This tense is used to express actions completed recent
past. In this tense, it is important whether the event occurred or not.
The Structures of Present Perfect Tense:
POSITIVE FORMS (+):  
▪ Subject ( I, You, We, You, They ) + HAVE + V3 ( third form of main
verb – past participle )
▪ Subject ( He, She, It ) + HAS + V3 ( third form of main verb – past

Thursday: describe a friend pag

18-20.
My friend Kevin is tall, with light eyes, straight hair. He lives in El
Salvador with his family. I like his sister very well. She is a very calm
girl and also, Kevin is my best friend. He has a great heart. He also
always tries to make me smile. Since I met him through university, I saw
that he was a very nice and studious person. I am glad to know that I
have him as a friend and as a support, he deserves many good things in
life.

We hardly see each other but I know I have all your support, friendship
and trust, his character is good, if he does not like something, he just
walks away without saying anything so he avoids problems, he is almost
similar to me but he is a great person, he also likes animals and play
soccer I hope to be able to go to his games one day and shout ¨ Kevin
can not play, take him out¨ but joking because I know he can play very
well and I have always been confident in his potential, well, nothing
more to say and closing saying that my best friend is great.

Monday: the man, the boy, and the donkey.

 One day a man and his son
were riding a donkey to the
market. As they walked next
to him, a compatriot walked
past them and commented:
"Fools, what is the use of a
donkey, except to ride a
horse?"
Then the man put the baby
on the donkey and they
continued on their way.
However, they didn't get far enough once they bumped into two
females, one of whom commented on the other: "What a shame
that a lazy sloth let his poor little son walk with difficulty!"
The men said, "Aren't you ashamed that you overwhelmed your
poor ass and your monumental son?"
They continued to the laughter of everyone who was with them,
until they reached the Market Bridge, when the donkey,
loosening one leg, kicked and made the baby drop the end of the
post. In a fight, the donkey fell on the bridge and, having tied its
front paws, drowned.

tuesday: two fellows and the sun bear.

Two men were traveling together through the woods, when a bear rushed out upon
them. One of the travelers happened to be in front, and he seized hold of the branch
of a tree, and hid himself among the leaves. The other, seeing no help for it, threw
himself flat down upon the ground, and pretended to be dead with his face in the
dust. The Bear, coming up to him, put his muzzle close to his ear, and sniffed and
sniffed. But at last with a growl he shook his head and slouched off, for bears will
not touch dead meat. Then the fellow in the tree came down to his comrade, and,
laughing, asked “What was it that Master Bruin whispered to you?”
rush: to go very quickly
seize: to take hold of something; to get.
muzzle: the long, extended face of an animal such as a bear or a dog.
growl: the low, threatening sound made by an animal.
desert: to abandon one’s responsibilities; to leave a person without help.

wednesday: mixed tenses (28-30).

Present simple and present continuous:
We use the present continuous for things that are happening now and for
temporary situations. We often use time expressions like at the moment, this week,
these days.
We're staying in a fantastic hotel in Goa this week.
What are you doing these days?
I hope you aren't working too hard.
We use the present simple for things that we do regularly and for permanent
situations. We often use adverbs of frequency and time expressions like every day,
on Saturdays.
I swim every day before breakfast.
Jake doesn't get up that early though.
It usually begins around June.
Present continuous and be going to for future

We use the present continuous to talk about the future when we have made an
arrangement to do something. Perhaps we have already booked tickets for
something.
We’re coming home next Wednesday.
We use be going to + infinitive for future plans.
We’re going to visit the Saturday Night Market tomorrow.
Are you going to go to Egypt in September?
We also use be going to for something that we expect to happen because we know
that it is very likely. We can’t use the present continuous in this way.
They say that the rainy season is going to start soon.

thursday: ic and ical adjectives.

Some adjectives can end in either -ic or -ical, depending on their meaning. Rob
and Catherine explain more about them and chat about hobbies and interests in 6
Minute Vocabulary.

Use “-ic” with nouns ending in “-d,” “-de,” or “-dy”

Existing nouns that end in “-d,” “-de,” or “-dy” will almost always take “-ic”
ending when becoming adjectives. Note that with both “-de” and “-dy,” though, the
final vowel is replaced by “-ic,” so each of these words will end in “-dic.” Here are
some of the most common examples:
● acid→acidic
● comedy→comedic
● episode→episodic
● herald→heraldic
● melody→melodic
● nomad→nomadic

When to use “-ical”

While “-ic” is much more common, there are a few cases in which “-ical” is
used instead (or at least is greatly preferred).

Use “-ical” with nouns ending in “-ology”

One of the few spelling conventions that predictably indicates the use of “-
ical” is when a noun ends in “-ology.” While there are often “-ic” variants, “-
ical” is almost always much more common.
Here are some of the most common examples:
● anthropology→anthropological
● archaeology→archaeological
● astrology→astrological
● biology→biological
● chronology→chronological
● ecology→ecological

monday: the win and the sun.

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger. Suddenly they saw
a traveller coming down the road, and the Sun said:
“I see a way to decide our dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveller to take
off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin.”
So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could
upon the traveller. But the harder the Wind blew, the more closely did the traveller
wrap his cloak around him, till at last the Wind had to give into despair. Then the
Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveller, who soon found it too
hot to walk with his cloak on.
cloak: coat; robe (this word is not commonly used in the U.S.)
despair: sadness; hopelessness
dispute: disagreement; conflict
glory: power, honor, success
wrap: cover

tuesday: the tortoise and the hare.

The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never
yet been beaten when I put forth my full speed," he said. "I challenge anyone here
to race with me.”
“That is a good joke,” said the Hare; “I could dance round you all the way.”
“Keep your boasting till you’ve beaten me,” answered the Tortoise. “Shall we
race?”
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at
once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to
have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke
from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up
in time to save the race. Then said the Tortoise:
Slow and steady wins the race.
wednesday: life after the box (42-24).

thursday: daysi goes global.
There are now plans for a musical called ‘Daisy’ to be staged in London’s West
End. The show is going to cash in on the incredible success of Daisy, the hottest
celebrity in town.

Daisy exploded onto our TV screens six months ago in February when she won
reality TV show The Box. Her life since winning has been anything but quiet.

Soon after the show she made headlines when she got engaged to Italian pop
sensation, Fabio. Together they had a hit song ‘No, No, Yes, Yes’ which gave her
global celebrity status.

Then, in April she shocked Daisy fans when she broke off the engagement in order
to pursue a solo career.

Since then Daisy has had a number one record and won the celebrity version of
The Box. She has also recently moved to Hollywood where she hosts her own talk
show – ‘Simply Daisy’.

Right now she is rehearsing for the musical in which she will play herself. She
says it is the hardest job she has ever had because her character is so complex.
The show is going to open in December. After that, Daisy is going to start work on
an autobiography. The book is going to teach people how to become famous like
her.

Has her rise to fame changed her? Daisy says not at all. She is still very close to
her family, who helped her when she was an unknown. She doesn’t need their
help anymore, but she now employs them as cleaners and gardeners at her three
UK homes.
 REFLECTION:
In my opinion I have learned many things about the auxiliaries, they are
topics that we do throughout our lives since we do many things
throughout the day, also about the simple present and the continuous
present, these subjects are very important since we They are very useful
for our grammar for our learning, as a learning method also by reading
stories we learn a little more about some words that we do not know but
I know that each topic that I summarized will be very helpful throughout
the career.
