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:

The plane is going to land soon.

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