Study guide

If you are not sure which is right

Key to exercises

Key to study guide(see page 301)

* I'm thinking of giving up my job. (= I am considering)

When have means 'possess' etc., do not use the continuous (see Unit 17):

* We're enjoying our holiday. We have a nice room in the hotel. (not 'we're having')

but * We're enjoying our holiday. We're having a great time.

B. See hear smell taste

We normally use the present simple (not continuous) with these verbs:

* Do you see that man over there? (not 'are you seeing')

* This room smells. Let's open a window.

We often use can + see/hear/smell/taste:

* Listen! Can you hear something?

But you can use the continuous with see (I'm seeing) when the meaning is 'having a meeting with' (especially in the future--see Unit 19A):

* I'm seeing the manager tomorrow morning.

C. He is selfish and He is being selfish

The present continuous of be is I am being/he is being/you are being etc.

I'm being = 'I'm behaving/I'm acting'. Compare:

* I can't understand why he's being so selfish. He isn't usually like that. (being selfish = behaving selfishly at the moment)

but * He never thinks about other people. He is very selfish. (not 'he is being') (= he is selfish generally, not only at the moment)

We use am/is/are being to say how somebody is behaving. It is not usually possible in other sentences:

* It's hot today. (not 'it is being hot')

* Sarah is very tired. (not 'is being tired')

D. Look and feet

You can use the present simple or continuous when you say how somebody looks or feels now:

* You took well today. or You're looking well today.

* How do you feel now? or How are you feeling now?

but * I usually feel tired in the morning. (not 'I'm usually feeling')

11. I used to drink a lot of coffee but these days I --- tea. (prefer) prefer

12. Air --- mainly of nitrogen and oxygen. (consist) consists

4.4 Complete the sentences using the most suitable form of be. Sometimes you must use the simple (am/is/are) and sometimes the continuous is more suitable (am/is/are being).

1. I can't understand why he's being so selfish. He isn't usually like that.

2. Jack --- very nice to me at the moment. I wonder why. – was being

4. Normally you are very sensible, so why --- so silly about this matter? Are you being

5. Why isn't Sarah at work today? --- ill? – Is she being

UNIT 5. Past simple (I did)

A. Study this example:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian musician and composer. He lived from 1756 to 1791. He started composing at the age of five and wrote more than 600 pieces of music. He was only 35 years old when he died.

Lived/started/wrote/was/died are all past simple.

B. Very often the past simple ends in -ed (regular verbs):

* I work in a travel agency now. Before that I worked in a shop.

* We invited them to our party but they decided not to come.

* The police stopped me on my way home last night.

* She passed her examination because she studied very hard.

For spelling (stopped, studied etc.), see Appendix 6.

But many verbs are irregular. The past simple does not end in -ed. For example:

write -> wrote

* Mozart wrote more than 600 pieces of music.

see -> saw

* We saw Rose in town a few days ago.

go -> went

* I went to the cinema three times last week.

shut -> shut

* It was cold, so I shut the window.

For a list of irregular verbs, see Appendix 1.

C. In questions and negatives we use did/didn't + infinitive (enjoy/see/go etc.):

I/she/they: enjoyed/saw/went


Did: you/she/they: enjoy?/see?/go?

I/she/they: didn't: enjoy/see/go

* A: Did you go out last night?

B: Yes, I went to the cinema but I didn't enjoy the film much.

* 'When did Mr Thomas die?' 'About ten years ago.'

* They didn't invite her to the party, so she didn't go.

* 'Did you have time to write the letter?' 'No, I didn't.'

Be careful when do is the main verb in the sentence:

* What did you do at the weekend? (not 'what did you at the weekend')

* I didn't do anything. (not 'I didn't anything')

D. The past of be (am/is/are) is was/were:

I/he/she/it was/wasn't

we/you/they were/weren't

was I/he/she/it?

were we/you/they?

Note that we do not use did in negatives and questions with was/were:

* I was angry because they were late.

* Was the weather good when you were on holiday?

* They weren't able to come because they were so busy.

* Did you go out last night or were you too tired?

EXERCISES

I finish work at 5 o'clock. i'm always tired when I get home. I usually cook a meal in the evening. I don't usually go out. I go to bed at about 11 o'clock. I always sleep well.

UNIT 6. Past continuous (I was doing)

A. Study this example situation:

Yesterday Karen and Jim played tennis. They began at 10 o'clock and finished at 11.30. So, at 10.30 they were playing tennis.

They were playing = 'they were in the middle of playing'. They had not finished playing.

Was/were ~ing is the past continuous:

I/he/she/it was playing/doing/working etc.

we/you/they were playing/doing/working etc.

B. We use the past continuous to say that somebody was in the middle of doing something at a certain time. The action or situation had already started before this time but had not finished:

* This time last year I was living in Brazil.

* What were you doing at 10 o'clock last night?

* I waved to her but she wasn't looking.

C. Compare the past continuous (I was doing) and past simple (I did):

Past continuous (in the middle of an action)

* I was walking home when I met Dave. (= in the middle of walking home)

* Ann was watching television when the phone rang.

Past simple (complete action)

* I walked home after the party last night. (= all the way, completely)

* Ann watched television a lot when she was ill last year.

D. We often use the past simple and the past continuous together to say that something happened in the middle of something else:


* Tom burnt his hand when he was cooking the dinner.

* I saw you in the park yesterday. You were sitting on the grass and reading a book.

* While I was working in the garden, I hurt my back.

But we use the past simple to say that one thing happened after another:

* I was walking along the road when I saw Dave. So I stopped and we had a chat.

Compare:

* When Karen arrived, we were having dinner. (= We had already started dinner before Karen arrived.)

* When Karen arrived, we had dinner. (= First Karen arrived and then we had

dinner.)

E. There are some verbs (for example, know/want/believe) that are not normally used in the continuous (see Unit 4A):

* We were good friends. We knew each other well. (not 'we were knowing')

* I was enjoying the party but Chris wanted to go home. (not 'was wanting')
