GRAMMAR EXPLANATION/STRUCTURE/EXAMPLES
TOPIC

PRESENT SIMPLE The present simple is a verbal time that allows us to describe things we
do, all the time as it is, the activities we do at work, in free time, with
family, friends, etc.

It is united in first person, second and third person. Its structure is:

Simple affirmative

Subject + verb + complements

Example:

 He plays basketball on weekends.

Note: when speaking in third person you must add "s" to the verb

Simple negative

For this form you should include "Do" and "Does"

Subject + DO / DOES + Not + Main verb + Complements

Example:

 You do not (do not) speak Spanish

 He does not (does not) like dogs

Simple Interrogative

DO / DOES + subject + main verb + complements

Example:

 Do you like burger?

The short answers are formulated:

 Yes, subject + does / do

 No, subject + do not / does not.

PRESENT The present was used to express that an activity is happening at the
PROGRESSIVE moment of speaking.

Eje: I'm eating pizza – Estoy comiendo pizza

 PERSONAL PRONOUNS AND VERB TO BE

He , she , it – Is
We ,You , They – Are

When we use English to talk about actions that are happening at the
moment, we regularly use keywords such as:

"At the moment" (at the moment)

"Now" (now)

"Right now" (at this precise moment)

Spelling rules of the ING ending

 1. If the verb has a single syllable with ending Consonant + Vocal +
Consonant like the verbs: run, shop or sit, we simply double the last
consonant and add ING. Examples:

o Run (running): running

o Shop (buy): shopping

There are some exceptions to this rule. If the verb is of a single syllable
and ends in Consonant + Vocal + Consonant, but the last consonant is
W, X, Y or Z we do not double the consonant. Examples:

o Cry (Cry): crying

o Fix: (Fix) fixing

2. When the verb has two or more syllables and the last syllable ends in
Consonant + Vocal + Consonant we must pay attention to the center of
the word. If the accent of the word falls on the first syllable, we do not
double the consonant. Example:

o Happen (Occur) → happening

If the accent falls on the last syllable, we double the final consonant.
Example:

o Begin (Begin) → beginning

3. When the verb ends in the vowel "e", we simply remove the "e" and
add ING. Example:

o Dance (Dancing) → dancing

4. When the verb ends in "and", we simply add ING. Examples:

o Play (play) → playing

o Study (study) → studying

5. To all the other verbs you should only add ING (Reading, listening,
etc.)

THERE IS/ARE

FREQUENCY
ADVERBS
The main adverbs of frequency in English are:
never = never ----- 0%
seldom = rarely .------ 10%
rarely = rarely --------- 5%.
occasionally = occasionally ---- 30%.
sometimes = sometimes -----. 50%
 often = often .------- 70%
frequently = frequently ---- 80%
usually = normally .------ 90%
always = always .-------- 100%
Where is the frequency adverb placed?
Frequency adverbs in English are always placed after the subject
and before the main verb.
EXCEPT with the verb to be and modal verbs, in which the
adverb of frequency is placed after these.

CONNECTORS IN Connectors are words or groups of words whose main function is to

WRITING establish some kind of relationship between sentences that are part of a
text. Depending on the type of connector we use, we will give a specific
meaning to our text. That is, if we change the connector, we will give it
a totally different meaning.
