English Grammar 2 (Progressive Tenses)

Okay here is part 2 of 4 of my English Grammar... this one is all about progressive tenses...

Again if anyone knows a good way of memorising these tenses please tell me! I have also decided i am going to take my grammar test on the 20th of May and I need to get more than 85% to beat my boyfriends score!

Okay so progressive tenses, a little harder than the simple ones....

Past Progressive : Is used to talk about something that happened at a specific time in the past.

Subject +was/were+ -ing form of verb + compliment.

Examples:

I was swimming yesterday afternoon.
You were laughing at that joke I told earlier.
I was having an amazing dream, when I woke up.

Present Progressive: Is used to talk about an action that is taking place at the moment of speaking.

Subject + to be +  -ing form of verb

Examples:

I am currently writing a blog.
She is dancing right now.
We are watching a movie at the moment, I can't talk to you.

Future Progressive: Used to talk about something that will be in progress in the future.

Subject + will be + present participle (base verb + -ing)

Examples:

I will be leaving soon.
You won't be going to school tomorrow.
I will be see my brother next week.


Aaand that's all for this post's grammar ... Next time is Perfect tenses~ much more harder I think than these ones!

Until Next Time!

English Grammar (simple tenses)

So as i haven't yet told you, i am going to Japan to teach English!! I'm so excited I seem to have forgotten that i have to pass the TEFL course to be able to go do it haha. 

This post is really just for me, but you can read it if you like, i don't really mind. It is just me studying for my Grammar test. 

So if you are interested in learning the 12 Tenses of English Grammar then read on!!

Simple Tenses

Simple Past: Is used to talk about a completed action or condition...

subject + verb in past tense + compliment.

examples: 

Yesterday I went swimming.

I studied in Japan last year.

We didn't go to the mall the other day.

Simple Present: Is used to talk about facts, or recurring actions or events.

subject + verb

I walk to work everyday.

I am currently watching a video, I can't talk to you.

I am writing a bog post right now.

I post a blog post every week. 

Simple Future: Is used to talk about something that will or might happen in the future, we use 'will' to talk about something that is unplanned or predicted. We use 'going to' to talk about something that is a planned future event.

Subject +will/going to +bare infinitive +compliment

'Will' Example:

I will hit you!

The plane will land in the next 20 minuites.

She will be going to Japan later in the year.

Going To Example:

I am going to hit you!

The plane is going to land soon.

I am going to teach English.

Trying to remember these I think is easy ...It's the other tenses I seem to forget.

Until Next Time!

By the way if any of you have any easy ways of remembering the tenses I would seriously love to hear them.

 

A New leaf

Today I went to see my lecturer and had a good talk to her about the course and you know what I feel like a lot more confident about the course and about my own skills, I just need to catch up with everything.

So spring is here, new year, new attitude and hopefully better grades.

Here's what I did today on my Olympic module.

Just to explain the pictures are of some current sportswear trends and also me looking at barbell weights for inspiration. I think that I might actually make an outfit weight based. A human weight haha.

Class time at Uni (thoughts)

So I'm at Uni right now waiting for the lesson to start, it's a bit boring, especially as I know how much work I must do for tomorrow.

I promises myself this won't happen again yet still I'm in he same predicament...

I feel like I can't cope with Uni and also a job where in my spare time, the only time I have for Uni and myself I have to work. I hate it.

I can't wait to go to Japan but I can't go to Japan without my degree so this time. I need to prove myself to Luke and also myself and to Ann and Fiona.

What have I learned in this lesson so far. Nothing. As per usual. I'm learning nothing on this course. It's a waste of my time and money. I realised this is fashion studies and not fashion design ...

iPhoneness

Yes my friends, I have now joined the land of the iPhones.

You know that feeling when you are like...'how have I lived all this time without this!?'

...That's me right now...

Took me long enough to get started though....

So just telling you, a heads up if you. Are thinking to get one...

1. First thing you must do is plug it into iTunes! Yes, there was hardly any indication to do this but yeah it works now.

2. I'm not sure about other people but my network didn't connect until I updated the operating system (which is a long annoying process btw... 2 hours for me)..

So yeah anyways, I got a really nice case free with my phone.... They didn't have any panda cases or hello kitty cases =.=

So I'm thinking I will order one from eBay. I bet they have tons of really cute cases there ^.^

Tinier Me : Create your little selfy

Okay I know it is really east for me to get addicted to things but recently I have a new addiction to a game... and I don't quite know what is so addicting about it... Maybe it's the Fashion....maybe its the games... or maybe its the nice people that you meet on there. But it is very, very addicting. There is a facebook app of it which is where i first joined... and then there is also a website on it which allows you to take part in the world of trading.. which I love by the way!

So yeah everyone should add me as a friend on there (if you play that is) and if you don't play you should get started!

Here's a picture of my selfy :D

Cute ne? Well to be honest... it isn't my dream selfy it's just the best i could do with what i have in my inventory... my actual dream selfy is this! (anyone with the items i will trade pretty much anything to get them! Bare that in mind eh ;D)

:) it'd be good to get some followers who also like this game! Also for all trades please visit my trading site which is: Tinier Me Trading

^_^ hope to make friends with you all soon!

Bringing Home the Fuzzies

Ahh sorry for my lack of posts lately. I've been very busy.

As all of you who follow this blog know I've been very excited over the past few weeks about getting my little ferret kits. Well yesterday i got them. They are everything i thought they were going to be and more! Cute, funny, sleepy, fighty, git-ey and sometimes even a little nippy.

Yesterday I traveled all the way to Melton Mowbray (Leicester) to get them. I was quite proud i made it there in one piece to be honest. I have the worst direction sense ever. On the way back i put them in a little travel case that i had filled with fleecy fabric scraps from the hammock and bag that i made for them. As soon as i put them in the case they burrowed deep inside it and fell soundly asleep.
Although they did sleep most of the way home a train went past and scared poor lil Squiff, but he burrowed deeper and quickly fell back to sleep. I couldn't wait to get them home and play with them and introduce them to their new home.

I have to say though the travel case and them inside it are a real attention attractor, loads of people on the trains i got were asking me things about them, how old, what were they, why ferrets?

But anyway, when i finally got them home they were so nervous i think when they were first exploring their new enviroments... Drew was even scared by the toy i got him (I've named it White Goodman)..He let of a lil stink bomb and believe me ... it does whiff a bit. Speaking of smell, I've now learned what odour everyone was talking about... it isn't particuary a bad smell, its just a bit musky, it is no worse than the smell of a rabbit or a hamster.  

Anyways here i some pictures taken last night; (I have more, better quality pictures but they're on an SD card so unfortunately i can't get them off till Tuesday.)

 Here's Squiff when he first got home yesterday, he's asleep in my arms. Cutey!

 Here's Drew falling asleep with White Goodman, he's all cuddled up <3

And Finally here they are playing together. Yes, they are the same cuteys... But when they are awake they are gits! Love them though! <3

Well i better get back to them, they must be missing me... well i miss them! 

Here is their facebook: Add them!
