Unit 1

Present simple: affirmative and negative

Af firmative

Negative

I stay in bed late.

He / She / It stays in bed

late.

You / We / They stay in bed

late.

I don’t stay in bed late.

He / She / It doesn’t stay in

bed late.

You / We / They don’t stay

in bed late.

The affirmative form is the base form of the verb. To
make the third person singular (he, she, it), we add -s.

Some verbs take -ies or -es.

Most verbs

add -s

meet → meets play → plays

spend → spends stay → stays

Verbs ending in a
consonant + -y

drop the y and add -ies

carry → carries copy → copies

fly → flies study → studies

Verbs ending in o,

ch, sh, x and ss

add -es

go → goes watch → watches

finish → finishes fix → fixes

miss → misses

We make the negative form with do not or does not and

the base form of the verb.
In spoken and informal written English, we use short
forms in the negative.

She does not draw.

→

She doesn’t draw.

We do not bake.

→

We don’t bake.

Usage

We use the present simple:

1 to describe things which happen regularly or all

the time.

We finish school at 3.30.
My cousin plays video games every day.
I don’t spend a lot of time on my phone.

2 to describe permanent situations.

My aunt comes from Australia.
We live in the countryside.
Esin and Fatma speak Turkish and German.

3 to give opinions.

I prefer football and basketball.
We think this TV programme is interesting.
I don’t like fast food restaurants.

We often use the present simple with adverbs of
frequency.

He always does his homework.
You never stay in bed late.

Adverbs of frequency describe how often something
happens.

He is often late for school.
They don’t usually play video games.
I’ve always got my phone with me.

Adverbs of frequency go in a different position with be,
have got and all other verbs e.g. play, watch or stay.

You / We / They’re talking.

I’m not talking.

He / She / It isn’t talking.

You / We / They aren’t

We make the affirmative form of the present
continuous with the verb be and the -ing form of the

verb.
We make the negative form with the verb be plus not

and the -ing form of the verb.

In spoken and informal written English, we use short
forms.

I am writing.

Negative

No, he / she / it

No, you / we /

Questions

We make the question form by inverting the verb be and

the -ing form.

We make short answers with the verb be without the
-ing form of the main verb.

We don’t use short forms in affirmative short answers.

‘Are you studying?’ ‘Yes, I am.’ ‘Yes, I’m.’
‘Is Selin watching TV?’ ‘Yes, she is.’ ‘Yes, she’s.’
‘Are we doing this exercise?’ ‘Yes, we are.’ Yes, we’re.

Question words go before the verb be.

What are you talking about?
Who are you messaging?
Why are they laughing?
Where’s Lenka going?

Present simple and present continuous

Usage

We use the present continuous to talk about an action
in progress. We use it for things which are happening
now or around now. We often use time expressions
like now, right now or at the moment with the present

continuous.

‘Is Alicia doing her homework now?’ ‘Yes, she is.’
‘Where’s Osman right now?’ ‘He’s chatting online.’
They’re studying for their history exam at the moment.

We use the present simple to talk about routine or
repeated actions. We often use adverbs of frequency
like always, usually, often, sometimes or never with the

present simple.

Do you often post messages on social media?
She always watches that TV programme.
Ollie sometimes uses instant messaging.
I never send emails.

There are some verbs (stative verbs) which we don’t
normally use in the continuous form because they
describe states which are true, not actions in progress.
These include: understand, know, believe, think, mean,
like, dislike, love, hate, want and prefer.

We don’t understand this question.
We aren’t understanding this question.
What does that word mean?
What is that word meaning?
I like your new mobile phone.
I’m liking your new mobile phone.
Do you want a coffee?
Are you wanting a coffee?

You / We / They were

I wasn’t jumping.

He / She / It wasn’t

We make the affirmative form of the past continuous
with was or were after the subject. After was or were we

put the -ing form of the main verb.

We make the negative form by putting not between was

or were and the -ing form of the main verb.

In spoken and informal written English, we use the
short forms wasn’t and weren’t.

Past continuous: questions

We make the question form by putting was or were

Was Selin standing in that photo? No, she wasn’t.
Were they running on Friday? Yes, they were.

Question words go before the verb was or were.

What were we doing on Saturday morning?
Where was Artem walking this afternoon?

Usage

We use the past continuous to talk about actions in
progress at a point in the past. We often use expressions
to show the point of time, such as at or on (plus a time)

or when (plus a past simple action).

It was raining at two o’clock this morning.
What were they doing on Friday evening?
You weren’t listening to the photographer when he said

‘smile’.

Past simple and past continuous

Usage

We often use the past continuous to describe an action
in progress which was interrupted.

She was walking into town when she met her friends.

We use the past continuous for the longer action in
progress (was walking). We use the past simple (met) for

the shorter action which interrupts the longer one.
We often use when before the past simple and while

before the past continuous.

They were travelling across Africa when they took the

photo.

They took the photo while they were travelling across

Africa.

Usage

We use comparative adjectives to compare two people
or things.

Nuran is taller than Fatma.
The shoes are more expensive than the trainers.

We use superlative adjectives to compare three or
more people or things. We use the superlative to say
that a person or thing has the greatest amount of
a characteristic, compared to everything else in the
group.

She’s the most successful singer in the world.

No, they couldn’t.

Can and could each have only one form. They do not

change with different subjects.

He cans play the piano. She cans make videos.

We use can / could plus base form of the main verb

(without to).

You can speak English. She could run 5 km.
You can to speak English. She could to run 5 km.

The negative forms of can and could are cannot and
could not. However, in spoken and informal written

English, we use the short forms can’t and couldn’t.

Ann can’t cook. Ann doesn’t can cook.
I couldn’t play tennis. I didn’t can play tennis.

As with can and could, the main verb takes the base

form without to.

We can’t bake cakes. We can’t to bake cakes.
They couldn’t understand the website.
They couldn’t to understand the website.

Usage

Can and could describe the ability to do something.

He could read when he was four.

Can describes the ability to do something in the present.

They can speak German now.

Could describes the ability to do something in the past.

but we use both can and could when we ask for

permission. Could is less direct and more formal than
can.

We use the negative form can’t to refuse someone

permission or to say what is not allowed.

base form. Question words like What, Where or When go

at the beginning of the question.

Will you light a fire? Where will we find food?

We make short answers with will and won’t.

Will you help me? Yes, I will.

Usage

We use will to talk about future predictions.

he / she / it’ll feel ill.

you / we / they’ll find the

village.

Result

Action

I’ll be safe

if I climb a tree.

We make the first conditional with two clauses: If plus

the present simple, followed by will.
Conditional sentences can start with the action:

If you light a fire, you’ll feel warmer.

or with the result:

You’ll feel warmer if you light a fire.

We can use the negative form in the action, the result,
or both parts of the sentence.

If we don’t make a big noise, we won’t find help.
We won’t win the challenge if we get lost in the trees.
If he doesn’t have a compass, he’ll get lost.

We make first conditional questions with will in front of

the subject in the result clause.

Will you help me if I carry your bag?
Do you help me … ?
If I carry your bag, will you help me?
If I will carry your bag …

Usage

We use the first conditional to predict the result of an
action. We use it to talk about things we think might
happen in the future and things we think are possible.

She shoulds take a sleeping bag.

We use must / should plus base form of the main verb

(without to).

You must listen now. They should sit here.
You must to listen now. They should to sit here.

The negative forms of must and should are must not and
should not. In spoken and informal written English, we

use the short forms mustn’t and shouldn’t.

As with must and should, the main verb takes the base

form without to.

We mustn’t touch this. We mustn’t to touch this.
You shouldn’t drink that. You shouldn’t to drink that.

Usage

Should is for giving advice and recommendations.

Question words such as When, Where or Who go at the

beginning of the question.

When is the show going to start?

I’ve climbed a mountain.

He / She / It’s climbed a

You / We / They’ve climbed

a mountain.

I haven’t climbed a

mountain.

He / She / It hasn’t climbed

a mountain.

You / We / They haven’t

climbed a mountain.

We make the affirmative form of the present perfect
with the verb have and the past participle of the verb.

I’ve been paragliding.
She’s painted a lot of pictures.
They’ve visited three theme parks.

We make the negative form with the verb have + not

and the past participle of the verb.

I haven’t ridden a motorbike before.
He hasn’t seen this new film.
We haven’t heard that song.

We make regular past participles by adding -ed to the

base form of the verb:

climb → climbed.

Note that some past participles are irregular, for
example:

break → broken fly → flown

ride → ridden swim → swum

In spoken and informal written English, we use short
forms.

I have won a competition.

→

I’ve won a competition.

He has visited Italy.

→

He’s visited Italy.

You have flown in a plane.

→

You’ve flown in a plane.

No, he / she / it

hasn’t.

Have you / we /

they swum in a

river?

Yes, you / we /

they have.

No, you / we /

they haven’t.

Questions

Short answers

We make the question form by inverting the verb have

and the subject.

Have you lived in another country?
Has she visited the United States?

We make answers with the verb have only, without the

past participle of the main verb.

Have we been to this restaurant before? Yes, we have.
Has he touched a snake? No, he hasn’t.

We don’t use short forms in positive short answers.

Have you eaten Mexican food? Yes, I have.
Yes, I’ve.

Question words go before the verb have.

What have you done with my camera?
Who have you seen in concert?
Where has he been on holiday?

Usage

We use the present perfect to describe an experience in
our lives before now.

I have never touched a snake.

(so I don’t know how they

feel)

We also use the present perfect to describe news or a
change in a situation.

He’s broken his leg.

(so he can’t play football at the

moment)

We don’t use the present perfect when we want to say
exactly when a past action happened. In this case we
use the past simple.

We saw James on Friday.
We have seen James on Friday.
I went to Istanbul last week.
I have been to Istanbul last week.

We sometimes use ever and never with the present

perfect to ask and talk about experiences. Ever and never

come before the past participle.

Have you ever been to Prague?

(= at any time in

your life)

He’s never eaten Indian food.

(= not at any time

in his life)

Never means ‘not ever’.

I’ve never done that.

=

I haven’t ever done that.

We normally use ever with questions, and never with

affirmative verbs, to give a negative meaning.

He’s never ridden on a roller coaster.
He hasn’t never ridden on a roller coaster.
