1.- PRONOUNS
A pronoun
is a word that takes the place of a common noun or a proper noun. There are
different kinds of pronouns.
The
words I, you, he, she, it, we and they
are called personal pronouns. They take the place of nouns and are
used as the subject of the verb in a sentence.
The
subject of a sentence is the person, animal, place or thing that does
the action shown by the verb.

THE PRESENT PROGRESSIVE (CONTINUOUS) TENSE

actions in the present, or things that are still going on or happening now.

What are they doing?
What’s happening?

Aren’t I sitting up
straight?
Form the present progressive tense like this:
am + present participle
is + present participle
are + present participle
The present participle is the form of a verb ending with -ing.
For example:
show + ing = showing
come + ing = coming
You have to double the last letter of some verbs before you add -ing.
For example:
get + ing = getting rob + ing = robbing
nod + ing = nodding stop + ing = stopping
jog + ing = jogging swim + ing = swimming
Notice that the verbs above are all short verbs of just
one syllable.
They all end with a consonant such as b, d, g, m,
p, t and have only one vowel before the consonant.
If a verb ends in e, you usually have to drop the e before
you add -ing. For example:
chase + ing = chasing
cycle + ing = cycling
drive + ing = driving
smile + ing = smiling
Use the present progressive tense to talk about things you have planned
to do, or things that are going to happen in the future. To form the present
progressive tense, use am,
is and are as helping
verbs or auxiliary verbs.
We are going camping tomorrow.
I’m starting piano lessons soon.

Base Form Simple
Past

walk walked
work worked
The simple past tense is usually formed by adding –ed to
the verb. For example:
jump + ed = jumped
lift + ed = lifted
laugh + ed = laughed look
+ ed = looked
If the verb ends with -e, just add -d. For example:
agree + d = agreed
hate + d = hated
die + d = died
live + d = lived
Remember these spelling rules:
You must double the last letter of some verbs before adding -ed.
For example:
fan + ed = fanned pat
+ ed = patted
grab + ed = grabbed
rip + ed = ripped
nod + ed = nodded slam
+ ed = slammed
Notice that the verbs above are all short verbs of just one
syllable. They all end with a consonant such as b, d, m,
n, p, t, and have only a single vowel before the
consonant.
With verbs that end in -y, change the y to i before
adding -ed. For example:
bury + ed = buried
fry + ed = fried
carry + ed = carried hurry
+ ed = hurried
cry + ed = cried try
+ ed = tried
The simple past form of some verbs does not end in -ed.
Such verbs are called irregular verbs.
The simple past tense of some irregular verbs does not change at all.
