Study Notes
Relative Clauses
- Relative clauses modify nouns or pronouns, providing additional information.
- They begin with relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that) or relative adverbs (where, when, why).
- Defining relative clauses are essential for understanding the noun they modify; non-defining relative clauses provide extra information.
- Defining relative clauses do not have commas, while non-defining relative clauses are separated by commas.
Past Simple and Past Continuous
- Past Simple: Used for completed actions in the past.
- Past Continuous: Used for actions in progress at a specific time in the past.
- Example: I was reading a book when the phone rang.
- Distinction: Past Simple for completed actions, Past Continuous for actions in progress.
Present Simple and Present Continuous
- Present Simple: Used for habitual actions, general truths, scheduled events.
- Present Continuous: Used for actions happening now, temporary actions, or future arrangements.
- Example: I go to the gym every day. (Present Simple, habitual action)
- Example: I am going to the gym now. (Present Continuous, action happening now)
- Key Difference: Present Simple for general and Present Continuous for ongoing.
Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous
- Present Perfect Simple: Focuses on the result of a past action, the duration is irrelevant.
- Present Perfect Continuous: Focuses on the duration of an activity that started in the past and may continue to the present.
- Example: I have lived in London for five years. (Present Perfect Simple, result)
- Example: I have been studying English for two hours. (Present Perfect Continuous, duration)
- Key distinction: Present Perfect Simple shows a result or effect, while Present Perfect Continuous shows duration of an action.
Past Continuous Forms
- Used to describe actions in progress or ongoing at a specific time in the past.
- Takes the form was/were + verb + ing.
- Example: I was playing video games when my friend called.
Present Simple Forms
- Forms include the base form of the verb (e.g., walk), or add -s or -es to the verb (e.g., walks, teaches).
- Used for habitual actions, routines, general facts and truths.
- Example: The sun rises in the East.
