 Verbs Patterns
The verb patterns are used to explain actions, needs,
habits, situations, abilities, etc.

This forms of using verbs are used for explain ideas with
two or three verbs ( a verb infinitive, a conjugated verb
and the verb "to", somethis also is used a modal verb)

Example: I cant eat (modal + infinitive whithout verb

"to")
In the different forms to talk about the future we have the
Future Forms
going to + infinitive verb, the present continuous (to be + verb
with "-ing" termination) and the or "will/won't + verb in
infinitive".

The future forms are used often to make predictions,

arrangments, plans, decisions etc.

Examples:

We wont be ready (prediction)

We’re going to watch a film – want to join us? (decision)

wanting to express characteristics beyond
the physical, something intangible to
describe qualities of a subject whether

 Simple Present and Present Continous
Both Present Simple and Present Continuous are used for actions that occur in the present. The
Present Simple is used to describe daily events, facts, or to narrate contemporary events. The
Present Continuous is used for temporary actions and to describe what happens at the time of
speech.

If the verb ends «ss», «sh», «ch», «o» or «x», its added an "es"

If the action Corresponds to the third person of the singular its added a "s" to the verb
Simple Present and Present Continous
Relative Clauses

make a reference function or clearer when talking about
places, people, animals, time ... Always prior to the
pronoun

Who/that, which/that, where, when, whose

 Simple Past and Past Continous
Naturally both versions of the verb often are explaining an action prior to the present.

For the simple past is used an estructure of the verb to be of [Subject + Was/Where] and can be manipulated
depending on what we want to communicate

Although its other and basic form is [Subject+Verb+"ed"] or [Subject + did/n't + Verb (simple)]

Example : Arturia did'nt play videogames, Arturia has not eated

In the continuous past the rule is followed [Subject + was/were+ Verb +ing]

Examples : Shirou was'nt training with swords.

We often use for and since with perfect tenses: We use for to talk about a
period of time: five minutes, two weeks, six years. We use since to talk about a
point in past time: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday.

The auxiliary verb (have) is conjugated in the Present Simple: have, has The main
verb is invariable in past participle form: -ed (or irregular) For negative sentences
we insert not between the auxiliary verb and the main verb.
