Learn English Grammar (lesson 7)

 The present perfect continuous tense is used to express the action which is started in the past and is continuing at the time of speaking. The present perfect continuous is also called the present perfect progressive tense.

Here is the structure of the present perfect continuous tense.

Subject+have been/has been+Verb(ing)+Since/For+Object

There are few points we need to understand must.

* How to use have been/has been????

  If the subject is I, We, They or any plural, we use "have been".

  If the subject is He, She, It or any singular noun, we use " has been".

  * How to use Since and For in present perfect continuous tense???

We use "For" to talk about a period, like for three hours, for two months, for one year. We use "since" to talk about a point in time like, since 9 o'clock, since 1st January, since Monday.

Now we make sentences for practising.

•I have been organising my books for three hours.

•We have been listening to the lecture for one hour.

•They have been trying to solve the puzzle since evening.

•He has been painting his picture for one month.

•The soldiers have been standing firm in the field since the war began.

•she has been learning the skills since last year.

* How to make a negative and interrogative sentence of present perfect continuous tense???

 To make a negative sentence, we add "not" in-between have been and has been, like 

 have not been or has not been.

 In short form, we can write and say 

 haven't been or hasn't been.

 To make an interrogative sentence, we put to have and has first in the sentence, then write the remaining sentence after.

 Start practising.

Affirmative: I have been living in this house for five years.

Negative: I haven't been living in this house for five years.

Interrogative: Have I been living in this house for five years??

Now you make more sentences to get perfection.

The present perfect tense is used to indicate a connection between the present and the past. We discuss events that started in the past and completed at the moment of speaking. ... It is often used to suggest that a past action still affects something.

Present perfect tense structure

Subject+have/has+Verb past participle +Object

Keep in mind past participle means 3rd form of the verb.

Where do we use have and has????

With the subject, I, We, They and any plural we use Have and with He, She, It and any singular noun we use Has.

Let's start practising

I have resigned from my job.

We have worked here.

They have demolished the building.

All students have completed the project.

He has written one application.

 After the present indefinite tense, we will now learn the present continuous tense. The present continuous tense indicates that an action or condition is happening now and may continue in future. It is also called the present progressive tense. To show continuity in sentences, we add "ing" with verbs like the verb drink will be drinking or walk will be walking.

Present continuous tense structure

Subject+is, am, are+Verb(ing)+Object

Here we need to learn the uses of is, am, are

I.......am

We, You, They and any plural.......are

He, She, It and any single noun.......is

Learn English Grammar(lesson4)

 This is my 4th lesson regarding present indefinite tense. In this lesson, I will teach you how to make interrogative sentences and question somebody. After completing this tense, you can describe the current situations.

To ask a question, you add Do or Does before the subject and verb is used with its root form it means you don't need to add "s" or "es" with the verb.

Read carefully the sentences given below.

Interrogative sentence structure

Do/Does+Subject+Verb+Object

Let's start practising

1. Do you go to the park daily?

2. Do I remember what you said?

3. Do we take medicine daily?

4. Do Amir and Taha play games?

5. Does she wear old dresses?

6. Does he pluck the flowers?

7. Does Pakistan perform well every year in                            Hockey? 

You can practice this tense by asking your friends their likes and dislikes, habits and activities that you do regularly and also you can tell them yours.

Learn English grammar (lesson3)

 There are few sentences of present indefinite tense.

You can learn to make more sentences.

1. He travels by bus.

2. She watches movies.

3. We go to the library at weekends.

4. They try hard.

5. You wash your clothes.

In the above sentences, you can see and learn how the verb is used according to the subject. You can make more and send me back in the comment space. I'll appreciate it. 

Now I m going to start

How to make present indefinite negative sentences?

The formula for making a simple present negative is

Subject+ do/does + not + verb1st form

 You can also use  "don't" for "do not" and  "doesn't" for "does not". 

If the subject is 

First-person.........I and We

Second-person......you and 

Third-person plural......They and any noun more than one we will use " do not" to give negative-sense and

If the subject is

Third-person singular....... He, She, It and any single noun, we will use "does not" to give negative sense.

Let's start practising.

1. I do not sell books.

2. We do not fight.

3. You do not listen to me.

4. They do not follow the rules.

5. He does not climb the tree.

6. She does not think about it.

7. This ointment does not heal my wound.

8. My boss does not appropriate my work.

One more thing to be noted.

When we make a present indefinite negative sentence, "s", " es" or "ies" are not added with the verb while using the third person singular.

Learn English Grammar (lesson2)

 After learning parts of speech, we will start our second lesson, which is about making sentences.

How to make simple sentences???

In the simple present tense or present indefinite tense, we talk about our habitual actions and tell our regular activities.

First of all, we will describe sentence structure.

 A simple sentence contains

 Subject+Verb1st form+Object

What is the Subject in a sentence?

The subject can be a noun, pronoun, thing or place.

The subject represents what kind of action(verb) is happening in the sentence, and then the Object comes.

The Object accepts the action.

Here are the examples to understand.

1. My father appreciates me.

    In the above sentence 

    My father............subject

    appreciate...........verb

    me....................    Object

2. I read the newspaper.

     In the above sentence

     I.................. Subject

     Read............verb

     Newspaper......object

One more thing we use to form the simple present tense is adding   

 "s" or "es" at the end of the verb.

 When we use " s" or "es" at the end of the verb?

 The answer is that when the sentence starts with the third person singular, we add "s" or "es" at the end of the verb.

 Before I tell you about third-person singular, we should know the first and second person(Subject)?

 I          first person singular

 We      first person plural 

 Your second person singular

 He, She, It, any single noun are third-person singular.

 They  third person plural 

 If the sentence starts with first or second person(singular or plural) and third-person plural, we use verbs without adding " s" or "es". 

But when the sentence starts with third-person singular, we add " s" or "es" at the end of the verb.

 Here is the list of third-person singular.

 He, She, It + any noun.

 If the sentence starts with the third person singular, we add " s" or "es" with the verb.

 For examples

 Talk........Talks

 Run.........Runs

 Speak.....Speaks

Some particular verbs end with es when we use them with third person singular.

For example

Pass........Passes

Watch......Watches

Teach......Teaches

Some particular verbs end with "yes" when we use the third person singular.

For example

Study........studies

Fly.............flies

Cry............cries

There is another rule of adding "ies." 

If "y" appears at the end of a verb and there is a consonant before "y", we will remove "y" and add "ies." 

If "y" appears at the end of a verb and there is a vowel before "y", we will add "s" with a verb.

Say........ Says

Stay.......stays

Play.......
