Study Notes

Verb Tenses

  • Present Simple is used to express regular habits or actions, for example, "Trini always eats breakfast at 7:00."
  • Present Continuous is used to express actions happening now, for example, "They are studying for the exam right now."
  • Past Simple is used to express actions that happened in the past, for example, "Juan and Camila went to Cundinamarca on October 21st."
  • Present Perfect is used to express actions that happened in the past and continue to the present or have a present relevance, for example, "Have you seen the movies "Cars" ever?"
  • Future Simple is used to express actions that will happen in the future, for example, "I will visit my grandparents next weekend."

Common Mistakes

  • Ensure correct preposition use, for example, "They were at the soccer match yesterday."
  • Use the correct tense for verbs, for example, "I have gone to the store."

Transforming Sentences

  • To change a sentence from positive to negative, use "not" after the auxiliary verb, for example, "She doesn't play the piano."
  • To transform a sentence into a question, invert the subject and the auxiliary verb, for example, "Does my dog like chocolate?".

Juanita and Her Friends' Day Out

  • They played soccer and had a picnic.
  • Maria brought sandwiches and Lulo Juice, while her friends brought soft drinks.
  • They enjoyed themselves throughout the afternoon and stopped for ice cream at an ice cream shop before heading home.

Verb Forms

  • The past participle form of a verb typically ends in "ed" or "en," but there are irregular verbs that have different forms.
  • Learn the correct past tense and past participle forms of common verbs, for example, "know - knew - known".
