To be (ser o estar)

The verb “To be” is said to be the most protean of the English language, constantly changing form, sometimes without much of a discernible pattern. Considering that we use it so often, it is really too bad that the verb “To be” has to be the most irregular, slippery verb in the language.

Present simple.

The simple present tense in English is used to describe an action that is regular, true or normal.

We use the present tense:

Examples

1. For repeated or regular actions in the present time period.

• I work in the office in the aftermoon
• Martha cooks in the kitchen
• Venom eats humans

2. For facts.

• The Director of “The legend of zelda” lives in Tokyo
• A horse has four legs.
• We come from Mexico.

3. For habits.

• I get up in the aftermoon
• Carol cleans her car
• They play plastation four every weekend

4. For things that are always / generally true.

• It rains a lot in july
• The President of Mexico lives in Los pinos
• They speak French at work.

Adverbs of frecuency.

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

Verbs of frecuency:

 Always.

Usually.

Often

Sometimes

Hardly ever

Never

Examples:

I always have play Nintendo Swicht

Do you usually go to the cinema by taxi?

He doesn’t often go to school late

They´re sometimes late.

She hardly ever watches tv.         

He is never stressed

Note: Adverbs of frecuency go before all verbs (except be)

                                       

Present continuous.

The present continuous verb tense indicates that an action or condition is happening now, frequently, and may continue into the future.

The Present Continuous: Be + verb + -ing

Examples:

I’m lisenting techno hard

You’re studying hard for an exam.

She’s playing videogames.

We´re signing in the way.

You’re cooking in the kitchen

They’re dancing in the festival Loveparede

Order of adjectives

When more than one adjective comes before a noun, the adjectives are normally in a particular order. Adjectives which describe opinions or attitudes (e.g. amazing) usually come first, before more neutral, factual ones (e.g. red):

She was wearing an amazing red coat.

                                                                                                                                 

Examples:

I love their beautiful large Green house.

We´re tall old rugged green trees.
