grammar

In my bloger, you can learn some grammer, the first I will explain
Simple Present



 
FORM
[VERB] + s/es in third person
Examples:

  • You speak English.

  • Do you speak English?

  • You do not speak English.

USE 1 Repeated Actions
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
Examples:

  • I play tennis.

  • She does not play tennis.

  • Does he play tennis?

  • The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.

  • The train does not leave at 9 AM.

  • When does the train usually leave?

  • She always forgets her purse.

  • He never forgets his wallet.

  • Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.

  • Does the Sun circle the Earth?

Simple Past FORM
[VERB+ed] or irregular verbs
Examples:

  • You called Debbie.
  • Did you call Debbie?
  • You did not call Debbie.

USE 1 Completed Action in the Past
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have one specific time in mind.
Examples:

  • I saw a movie yesterday.
  • I didn't see a play yesterday.
  • Last year, I traveled to Japan.
  • Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
  • Did you have dinner last night?
  • She washed her car.
  • He didn't wash his car.
