Modals and Modal Perfects

Hi class, my name is Laura and here you have a link of a presentation where it explains how to use the modals and modals perfects.

Future perfect simple and future continuous

Hi class, Anthony here, and for the blog entry I wanted to talk about two different times of future:
Future continuous and future perfect simple.

First of all I wanted to talk about future continuous. It's a kind of future that is used for expressing actions that will happen in a particular moment of future. For example:

Andrew can't go to the party. He'll be working all day tomorrow.

We can see in this phrase that the action that will happen is "working all day", and the particular moment of future is "tomorrow".

It's formed like this:

Affirmative: Subject + will be + V- ing + complements
Negative: Subject + won't be + V- ing + complements
Interrogative: Will + subject + be + V-ing + complements

And after seeing future continuous lets see future perfect simple:

We use this kind of future for talking about actions that will end in a particular moment of future. For example:

By the year 2020 I will have finished my studies at University.

The action that will end is "I will have finished my studies", and the particular moment is "year 2020".

You can form it like this:

Affirmative: Subject + will have + participe + complements
Negative: Subject + won't have + participe + complements
Interrogative: Will + subject + have + participe + complements

So that's all about future continuous and future perfect simple. In the next page you can find some exercises for practicing.

Adverbs

Hi class, I'm Alberto and in this post I'll explain you briefly three important types of adverbs we can find:

-Adverbs of manner: They describe how an action is done. They often finish in -ly:

   bad>badly recent>recently

Sometimes spelling changes:

                                             easy>easily    gentle>gently

A few of them have the same form as an adjective:

   They all worked hard.

-Adverbs of comment: The express and opinión or comment something. They finish in -ly. We can find them:

         -At the beginning of the sentence: Clearly, he doesn't know what he is doing.

   -Before the main verb: He clearly doesn't know what he is doing.

   -At the end of the sentence: He doesn't know what he is doing, clearly.

-Adverbs of degree: They tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb. Adverbs of degree are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb they are modifying. Here we have some examples:

            -Modifying adjective:    The water was extremely cold

-Modifying verb: She has almost finished.

-Modifying adverb: You are walking too slowly.

Gerunds and infinitives

GERUNDS AND INFINITIVES

BY: MARIA JOSE USERO LORCA

Thank you for your attention.

Hi class, I´m Raúl. This link is from a song in which appear structures and modal verbs that we have seen in class.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2p4YCQkKSA

Hello class, I am sergio and this explanation of the past perfect helped me, I hope that it help you.

this page has exercises about it: http://www.curso-ingles.com/practicar/ejercicios/past-perfect

Examples:

You had studied English before you moved to New York.
Had you studied English before you moved to New York?
You had not studied English before you moved to New York.

USE 1 Completed Action Before Something in the Past

The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.

Examples:

I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet.
Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times.
Had Susan ever studied Thai before she moved to Thailand?
She only understood the movie because she had read the book.
Kristine had never been to an opera before last night.
We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance.
A: Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 2006?
B: Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before.

USE 2 Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-Continuous Verbs)

With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.

Examples:

We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.
They felt bad about selling the house because they had owned it for more than forty years.

Although the above use of Past Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.

IMPORTANT Specific Times with the Past Perfect

Unlike with the past perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary.

Example:

She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.

MOREOVER

If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when "before" or "after" is used in the sentence. The words "before" and "after" actually tell you what happens first, so the Past Perfect is optional. For this reason, both sentences below are correct.

Examples:

She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
She visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.

HOWEVER

If the Past Perfect is not referring to an action at a specific time, Past Perfect is not optional. Compare the examples below. Here Past Perfect is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at a specific time. For this reason, Simple Past cannot be used.

Examples:

She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct
She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct

ADVERB PLACEMENT

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc.

Examples:

You had previously studied English before you moved to New York.
Had you previously studied English before you moved to New York?

ACTIVE / PASSIVE

Examples:

George had repaired many cars before he received his mechanic's license. Active
Many cars had been repaired by George before he received his mechanic's license. Passive
