Points to Remember

● When using the forms of ‘to be’, make sure you use the gerund (verb+ing) form of the
main verb as they are used to indicate continuous action.
● When using forms of ‘have’, see to it that you use the past participle forms of the main
verbs along with the different forms of ‘have’. There is one other thing that you should
keep in mind. When the auxiliary verbs ‘have’ and ‘been’ are used together to represent
the perfect continuous tense, see to it that you use the gerund (verb+ing) form of the main
verb in that particular sentence.
● When using the auxiliary verb ‘will’ to denote the simple future tense, see to it that you
use the root verb as such along with ‘will’ and a gerund (verb+ing) along with ‘will be’ to
 indicate the future continuous tense. Make sure you employ the past participle form of
the main verb when it is used to indicate the future perfect tense along with the auxiliary
verbs, ‘will’ and ‘have’.
