Tema 1. English expressions to talk about routines and temporary events

Well, I generally don’t eat junk food.

What about you?
Tema 1. English expressions to talk about routines and temporary events

• The simple present is used to talk about regular or repeated events or routines (e.g., We exercise
six days a week) and situations that are true all the time (e.g., I eat everything I want).

• The present continuous is used for activities and events that are temporary, or happening
“around now”(e.g., I’m trying to lose weight). It is also used for activities that are happening at
the time of speaking (e.g., I’m rushing to class).

• Verbs such as like, love, know, want, and need -which describe permanent situations, mental
processes, attitudes, and feelings- are usually not used with the present continuous.
Tema 2. English words and expressions used for aches and pains

I feel awful. I have a cold and I sneeze all

the time.

Tema 2. English words and expressions used for aches and pains
This lesson presents a range of minor health problems.

 The verb “have” is used with many of these to describe a current health problem.
e.g., I have a cold, a headache, the flu, etc.

 “Get” is used to describe repeated problems.

e.g., I get a lot of colds.

 “Get” is also used to describe the onset of a health problem.

e.g., I think I’m getting a cold.
Tema 3. Joining clauses

What do you do when you are in class

and you feel bad?
Tema 3. Joining clauses

Joining clauses with if and when

• There is very little difference in meaning between “when” and “if” in the sentences in this lesson.
However, “if” has been used for more exceptional situations (e.g., If I have a really sore throat, I go to
the doctor).

• The if/when clauses can come first in the sentence or after the main clause. If they are first, the two
parts of the sentence are separated by a comma (e.g., If I have a headache, I take an aspirin).

• If they are after the main clause, the two parts of the sentence are not separated by a comma (e.g., I
take an aspirin if I have a headache).

People usually put first what they feel is the most important information.
