If Conditionals (first type)

Hello to everyone.

Today I'm willing to share a video on conditionals of the first type. 

It is used to describe the situations that are likely to happen. 

Of course, it is hard to predict what will happen in the future. We use first conditional to express possible outcomes or solutions.

Past Simple vs Past Continuous Presentation

Recently I have published materials on Past Continuous, but the trickiest part is saved for the last. 

Usually my students understand everything till they need to use more than one tense in the sentence. That is why I have written an article on that topic and made a video presentation.

Every your like and share makes me smile really wide. :)

Thank you

Past Simple vs. Past Continuous

These two grammar tenses are usually misused by my students. Since for my students English is the second language they are studying, most find it hard to get general idea of the text. We study tenses separately and then we come across a line in the dialogue with both of them. And they are overwhelmed:

Present Continuous

Present Continuous is not a mystery at all. But for those who are at a loss, let's take a closer look.

Usage

These are the main rules for using Present Continuous:

• Action going on at the present moment.

'You are talking nonsense.'

• When there are two action one of which is in process (Present Continuos) the other is a habitual action (Present Simple).

'I never talk when I'm working.'

• Future action as something fixed.

'He is coming tomorrow.'

• Continual process usually with the words always, constantly, ever, etc.

'The Earth is always moving.'
'She is always complaining.'

Formation

Affirmative

'I'm writing a letter.'

Negative
'I'm not writing a letter.'

Question
'Am I writing a letter?'

The Way I Teach Present Simple and Present Continuous

Lately I have made a discovery for myself. 

Usually I start teaching tenses for my students with the Present Simple, which is quite logical. It is the first tense you use to say anything in English: your name, your age, where you live, what you like. I thought having students understood their first grammar structure correctly is very nice. From the very first lessons, they would know how to use at least some structure in a right way. Isn't it great? No, it's not. Believe me it's bitter truth for me too.

Past Participle

For those who have just started studying English I will explain what it is, because it can lead to some confusion.

Past Participle

It is the third form of the verb, which used for tense formation. IT IS NOT A TENSE ALREADY. It is just some form of a verb that is needed. It is used to create active and passive tense structures.
Active: Present Perfect Simple, Past Perfect Simple and Future Perfect Simple.
Passive: almost in every tense form.

How to form it?

Formation depends on verb. Regular verbs form Past Participle by simply adding +ed to the stem. The rules are the same as for Past Simple with regular verbs.

With irregular verbs everything is much easier ;-) You just need to memorise all the three forms for all irregular verbs! Don't be scared of it. It's not that difficult.

For better understanding I provide a presentation
