1 – Listen to the song and complete the lyrics:

I don't wanna be your love

( ) Need a little sweetness in my life

( ) Won't you come and put it down on me

( ) Oh right here, cause I need

( ) Little love and little sympathy

Don't leave me hanging, hanging

You are the one thing, one thing

I don't wanna be needing your love

I just wanna be deep in your love

And it's killing me when you're away

Ooh baby, cause I really don't care _ you are

I just wanna be there where you are

And I gotta get one little taste

( ) Yeah you show me good loving

( ) Little love and little sympathy

( ) Need a little a sweetness in my life

Unless that somebody is me

You're hotter than southern California bay

Don't give all that shy sh-t

9 – Write the -ing forms of these verbs You can find these verbs in the lyric:

In this lesson, we focus on forming Present Continuous sentences in both affirmative and negative forms For example, Jane is enjoying this game, while they are listening to their English lesson Conversely, he is not playing soccer at school, and it is not raining now, so let’s go outside Additionally, Peter and I are going to the movies right now, but I cannot go at the moment because I am reading a book Practicing these sentences helps improve understanding of the Present Continuous tense in daily communication.

Song 1 – Sugar by Maroon 5 g) Joshua _ to his best friend (talk - ) h) The cats _ their water (drink + ) i) You can’t talk to him now He (sleep + ) j) I _ today (work - )

11 – Use PC for Present Continuous, SP for Simple

Present and simple past tense are essential components of English grammar For example, sentences like "Greg is going to the supermarket" and "Cintia and Charlie are dating" illustrate present continuous tense In contrast, "He went to the movies yesterday" and "We played basketball at school yesterday" exemplify the simple past tense Negative sentences such as "I didn’t take your book" highlight how to express past negation, while questions like "Where do you live?" and "Did you tell your friends about this?" demonstrate interrogative forms Additionally, habitual actions are shown in "She does her homework every day," emphasizing routine, while personal preferences are expressed in "I don’t like cakes I think it’s too sweet." Understanding the differences between present and simple past tenses enhances both writing and speaking skills in English.

This article explains how to use comparative words in English to compare two or more nouns For short adjectives, we add "-er" to form the comparative, such as "taller" or "faster," while for longer or bigger nouns, we use "more" before the adjective, like "more beautiful" or "more dangerous." Examples include: "This tower is taller than the other one," "Josh is older than my brother," and "This river is longer than the Amazon River." Other comparisons are "Drake is more handsome than Derick," "My son is more curious than your daughter," "Hippos are more dangerous than lions," "England is smaller than the United States," "German is more difficult than English," "Jane is younger than Jackie," and "Joshua is more intelligent than Don." Using these comparative forms correctly enhances clarity and correctness in English communication.

EVER: to ask a question about frequency It means "at any time."

Adverbs of frequency tell HOW OFTEN an action is repeated They are commonly used with present or past tense Use "ever" to ask a question

Placement of adverbs of frequency Frequency adverbs are placed:

BEFORE the main verb unless the verb is BE

I always study in the library when I have an exam

I am always tired after classes

Rule: Never put an adverb between the main verb and its object

Wrong: I give almost always the dog a bath on Saturday

Correct: I almost always give the dog a bath on Saturday

Adverbs of frequency in questions

Rule: In questions, put the adverb of frequency after the subject

Do you always sit in the same seat?

Is Jim never going to stop talking?

Adverbs of Frequency in Short answers

Rule: In a short answer, put the frequency adverb between the subject and the verb for ALL verbs

Do you ever go hiking? Yes, I sometimes do

Is your father ever sick? Yes, he occasionally is

2 - Rewrite the sentence using the adverb in parentheses a) Do you have vacation? (ever)

b) When do you go to bed? (generally)

c) How often does he call you? (usually)

d) Do you travel during your vacation? (sometimes)

In English, the placement of adverbs such as "never," "always," "rarely," and "seldom" varies depending on the sentence structure For example, "I ask questions in that professor's class" can be modified to include the adverb "never" by placing it before the main verb: "I never ask questions in that professor's class." Similarly, "An impolite person interrupts others while they are speaking" works with "always" placed before the main verb: "An impolite person always interrupts others while they are speaking." For "Bad drivers park their car correctly," adding "rarely" involves positioning it before the main verb: "Bad drivers rarely park their car correctly." Lastly, in "It is cold in the spring in Miami," the adverb "seldom" can be placed after the verb "is" for emphasis: "It is seldom cold in the spring in Miami." Proper adverb placement enhances clarity and adheres to English grammatical conventions.

4 - There are some sentences where the adverb is in the correct place and in other sentences it isn’t

Correct the sentences that are wrong a) John is always late

b) For all the times that you made me feel small

c) Because I didn't want anyone thinking I still care

d) And tried to make me forget where I came from

e) And when you told me that you hated my friends

Understanding common phrases and their meanings is essential for effective communication The phrase "hold back" refers to a situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful that needs to be addressed and overcome, such as fears or emotions "Fool" is used to describe a silly person who may lack judgment When someone "breaks down," they lose control of their emotions, often in a state of distress The term "problem" denotes a matter or situation that is difficult to deal with and needs solutions Lastly, "fall in love" means developing a deep romantic attachment to someone, often accompanied by strong emotional feelings Recognizing these words and their meanings can improve comprehension and expression in everyday language.

To ask questions in the simple past tense, use the auxiliary verb ‘DID’ Remember that when forming past tense questions, the main verb remains in its base (infinitive) form without ‘to’ For example, instead of "You tried to make forget where I came from," a correct past question would be, “Did you try to make me forget where I came from?” Proper use of ‘DID’ ensures correct question formation in the simple past.

b) You made me feel small

c) You told me that you hated my friends

In the simple past tense, avoid using the auxiliary verb ‘didn’t’ with the main verb in the base form, without ‘to’ For example, instead of saying “You tried to make me forget where I came from,” you should say “You didn’t try to make me forget where I came from,” to correctly form a negative sentence.

b) You made me feel small

c) You told me that you hated my friends

(Aah) it was a perfect illusion

Somewhere in all the confusion

It was a perfect illusion, illusion (illusion)

Somewhere in all the confusion

You were a, you were a perfect illusion

To complete the sentences with "was" or "were," use "was" for singular subjects and "were" for plural subjects For example, "Mary was my student when she was eight," and "The dogs were barking last night." The mistakes were obvious, and I don’t know why you were acting so weird last night The children were sleeping when their dad arrived, and she was a perfect singer before the accident That boy was running away from his parents, and they were married before they had kids Johnny and I were friends before dating I was very anxious when I was a kid, and the mice were trying to eat the cake These sentences illustrate the proper use of "was" and "were" in different contexts, which is essential for correct grammar and clear communication.

In the past tense, the verb "to be" has two forms: "was" and "were." When forming questions with "was" or "were," you do not use "did" as an auxiliary verb; instead, simply place "was" or "were" before the subject For example, to convert a statement into a question, put "was" or "were" at the beginning of the sentence followed by the pronoun For instance, the sentence "It was a perfect illusion" becomes "Was it a perfect illusion?" This rule is essential for correct question formation in past tense sentences using "was" and "were."

8) The same thing happens into the negative form

When you have a sentence into the simple past with was and were, you don’t use ‘DIDN’T’ to change it into negative You just need to use not after the verb to be or the contractions form wasn’t and weren’t Let’s see Change the sentences now into the negative form:

Additionally, questions about personal experiences or plans, such as "What did you get for your birthday?" and future travel plans like "Where are you going to travel?" help in gathering specific information Properly using these interrogative words ensures effective communication and clarity in English questions.
