I get up at 6:20AM every day. I take a shower and prepare breakfast for me and my husband. I always drink some milk and eat toast with jam, blackberry jam is my favorite! Then I walk to the subway station and take the train at about 7:45 A.M. I get to work at 8:15 every morning. I usually have a cup of coffee while I check my e-mail. I have the same schedule every single morning of the week!

When we talk about everyday situations and activities, we use the Simple Present tense. Don’t forget the basic structure:

• In its affirmative form, the Simple Present tense is formed by the SUBJECT + the VERB + the COMPLEMENT. However, when the subject is he, she or it, we have to add an –s at the end of the verb:

I play tennis on Saturdays.

Pamela plays soccer on Wednesdays.

IMPORTANT

He /She / It

Verb + s



• In its negative form, we need to use the auxiliaries DO or DOES to add the “no” to the sentence. Therefore, the structure is: SUBJECT + DO / DOES NOT + VERB + COMPLEMENT. In this case, when the subject is he, she or it, we use DOES + NOT:

My best friends DON’T (do not) live in Chile.

Pamela’s boyfriend DOESN’T (does not) study in Valdivia.

• In its interrogative form, we need to use the auxiliaries DO or DOES. The structure is: (WH-) DO / DOES + SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT. Again, when the subject is he, she or it, we use DOES:

DO we have English class on Mondays this semester?

DOES the class start at 8:30AM?

What DOES Beth study?

Arnold Rivera, the TV news reporter, is interviewing Mrs. Cornelia Valdergilt for the program Real People. Pay attention to the conversation:

CV: I get up at ten.

AR: What do you do then?

CV: I read my letters and dictate the answers to my secretary.

AR: And then?

AR: Jimmy? Who’s Jimmy?

CV: Jimmy’s my dog.

AR: What time do you have lunch?

CV: I have lunch at twelve-thirty. I eat alone.

AR: Oh, I see. Well, what do you do after lunch?

CV: I rest until six o’clock.

AR: And at six? What do you do at six?

CV: I get dressed for dinner. I have dinner at seven o’clock.

AR: And what do you do after dinner? I guess you have many interesting things to do!

CV: Of course! I read or watch TV. I take a bath at nine-thirty, and I go to bed at ten.

AR: You certainly have a busy and interesting life, Mrs. Vandergilt. Thank you.

CV: You’re welcome.

4.2 Using Time Expressions.

When we speak about our daily routines, it is necessary to use Time Expressions in order to indicate time, day, length of time, or other time periods in which we perform these activities.

The most common expressions are:

• AT We use “AT” when we want to specify or clarify the TIME we do something.

I have breakfast AT nine o’clock.

Camila goes to AIEP AT three o´clock.

We also use “AT” when we mention “night”.

I sometimes visit my friends AT night.

Answer Keys

1.- She gets up at ten. 2.- She has breakfast in bed. 3.- She reads The New York Times. 4.- She walks with Jimmy. 5.- She has dinner at seven o’clock. 6.- She goes to bed at ten.



• ON We use “ON” when we want to specify the DAY (S) on we do something.

Mary takes a taxi to work ON Fridays.

I get up very early ON weekdays, but never ON weekends.

• IN We use “IN” when we want to specify or clarify THE MOMENT OF THE DAY we do something.

I prefer to study IN the morning.

Carol visits her friends IN the evenings, after school.

• BEFORE / AFTER We use “BEFORE” or “AFTER” when we want to refer to events in a sequence with others.

•

I study English BEFORE going to bed. (1. I study. 2. I go to bed = sequence)

Fernando takes a shower AFTER exercising at the gym. (1. He goes to the gym. 2. He takes a shower = sequence)

• EVERY We use “EVERY” when we want to emphasize that the action is repeated constantly.

Margarita goes to the disco EVERY Saturday.

Robert studies English EVERY Monday.

Activity Read this article carefully and Add the missing headline for each paragraph given in the chart.

-VIRTUAL DEMANDS - ADMISSION

-FACE THE PROBLEM - AM I ADDICTED?

-SYMPTOMS - THE CONSEQUENCES

-STOP WASTING YOUR TIME - IGNORE SMART PHONE NOTIFICATIONS

-ARE YOU AN INTERNET ADDICT? - BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

THINK BEFORE YOU GON ON LINE

1)

Do you stay up late at the night using the internet? Are you grumpy or anxious when you can’t log on? Do you need to use the internet to feel satisfied? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from internet addiction. ‘In recent years, the medical community all over the world has come to slowly accept that internet use leads to addiction. And both video games and internet addiction are now well recognized mental health disorders,’ says Dr Hemant Mittal, neuro psychiatrist.

2)

The addiction is characterized by excessive use, and symptoms include changes in mood, preoccupation, inability to control the amount of time you spend on the internet, and diminishing social life. ‘It leaves you with depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. By the time a person realizes it, it’s too late to get rid of the addiction. I have patients eating in front of their laptops. In bizarre cases they have the urge to be online even in the washroom,’ says Seema Hingorrany, a city-based clinical psychologist. The most important sign of addiction is that your mind is constantly thinking about what’s happening on Facebook, Twitter… and this thought doesn’t calm down until you get online,’ adds Hemant.

3 3)

Too much surfing on the Internet or using social networking sites also means that the person is looking for self-gratification from a virtual source,’ says Dr Sunita Dube, Aryan Hospital. She says that addicts start feeling low when their ‘posts’ fail to get desired number of ‘likes’ or comments, or



retweets. ‘We all want to be appreciated. And virtual media gives us that opportunity. We have unseen friends who ‘like’ us and help boost our confidence,’ Sunita adds.

Seema says that people who have social phobia and low confidence are seen more online as it is an easy way to escape face-to-face interaction. ‘Also, people with low self-esteem, poor body image, or untreated sexual dysfunction can get addicted for a sexual outlet,’ she adds.

4)

The experts say that excessive social media use can lead to attention problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders, and obesity. ‘High preoccupation with what’s happening online decreases ability to concentrate on work and studies, leading to memory problems and decreased performance, adds Hemant. Addicts spend more and more time online, losing on social interactions. ‘Relationships are affected due to this addiction. Nowadays people hardly have time for each other and Internet eats into this time,’ says Sunita. Many spouses complain about their partner spending too much time online. (Read: Addicted to Facebook?) 5)

‘We should be aware of these symptoms, keep track of our behaviour, thoughts and emotions. We should think about why we use the Internet so much and try to find the real problem instead of living in virtual world,’ advises Seema. Experts also suggest that one should try to spend as much time as possible with their loved ones. ‘Indulge in physical activities, to reduce the fear of obesity. Interaction with family and friends can solve the problem as it cheers up a person and fights depression,’ says Sunita.

6)

• Changes in mood • Pre-occupation with the internet and digital media • Inability to control the amount of time spent using digital technology • The need for more time or a new game to achieve a desired mood • Withdrawal when not engaged with digital technology • Diminishing social life • Adverse work and academic consequences

Tips to beat internet addiction. 7)

Admit it. You are addicted to the net. It gives you the same rush, the same heady high of that first cigarette of the day. Admission is the first step to rehabilitation. This applies to any kind of addiction.

8)

Your virtual life has taken over your real life. In fact, you end up thinking I need to update/upload this on my profile. Your need to take perfect holiday pictures overrules the actual enjoyment of the holiday. You need to focus on staying in the present.

9)

http://www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/addicted-to-facebook/�



Pause to think before you go online next time – what am I looking for? Why am I here? Making a mental note about what you plan to do once you are logged on gives you a direction to follow. Make a physical note if you must.

What did you do online?

Reflect on what you did once you went online. Did you just view your Facebook account. Or did some window shopping on e-commerce sites? Find out where you’re wasting your time.

10)

Decide beforehand the time limit you will spend on the net. Keep it to a minimum of 20 minutes. Twice a day should suffice.

11)

Our smart phones have literally become our third appendage. You don’t have to check every single thing out. Just shut off the notifications from time to time. ( Reading taken from www.thehealthsite.com/.../are-you-an-internet-addict)

Answer Keys

1.- Are you an internet addict? 2.- Am I addicted? 3.- Virtual demands 4. The Consequences 5.- Face the Problems 6.- Symptoms 7.- Admission 8.- Be honest with yourself 9.- Think before you go on line 10.- Stop wasting your time.- 11.- Ignore smart phone notifications

There are means when something or someone exist but in a plural form.

Examples:

I have two bedrooms in my house:= There are two bedrooms in my house

Jessica has two cars in her garage= There are two cars in her garage.

Note: There is = There’s

.

Important: In the negative form you use:

There’s no + noun (singular)

There are no + noun (plural)

There are no lamps in my kitchen

Describen actividades que se están desarrollando en el momento y el entono en que se contextualizan, aplicando el tiempo presente continuo y presente simple. Generando situaciones comunicativas, escrita y orales, de manera formal e informal.

7.1 When we talk about actions or activities performed at the moment, that is, now, it is necessary to get familiar with Present Continuous. The period of time can be:

a) Short and momentary: Example: Pamela is studying now. Don’t bother me.

b) longer : Example: Pamela is studying Graphics Design at Aiep this semester.

Don’t forget that ………

The Present Continuous is formed by

The subject + to be verb+ action verb+ ing

I am watching TV now.

George is taking the bus now.

Don’t forget the Time Expressions used in Present Continuous. They are:

Right now

Today

This morning / week/ month/year/semester/

This season / these days/ now



Let’s remember how to use Present Continuous in different forms: Affirmative, Negative and interrogative.

AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE INTERROGATIVE

7.2 Describing the different types of “presents” used in different situations

. • Temporary Situations:

When we describe activities that last a short and specific period of time, we use the Present Continuous Tense.

The only way in which we can identify and describe these situations is through Time Expressions.

Example:

Robert is selling pizza this week. (You can understand that’s a specific and a short period of time).

Example:

Pamela is not going to Aiep this weekend.

• Every day Situations

When we perform activities that we do every day (like routines and habits), we use The Present Simple Tense. It is also applicable to facts.

Again , we can identify and describe these situations is through Time Expressions and Adverbs of Frequency.

Example:

Manuel goes to the disco every Saturday. ( It means that Manuel goes not only one Saturday but every Saturday like a routine)

Example:

My mom always makes doughnuts for tea. ( It means that my mom not only makes doughnuts once but all the time).

8.3 Talking about prices.

When you go shopping and we want to know the price of a product, we have to make the difference between products that are grammatically singular, and those that are grammatically plural.

• Singular nouns, we ask for prices as follow:

Customer: Good Morning, Madam. HOW MUCH IS the sweater?

Salesclerk: IT’S twenty dollars.

(image taken from www.gettyimagines.com)

• Plural nouns, we use the following question:

Customer: Excuse me Sir, HOW MUCH are the pants over there?

Salesclerk: They ‘re fifty dollars and sixty cents.

8.4 Talking about closeness.

When we go shopping and we want to ask for a product that is close to you, that is, in the shop window, inside a cabinet or behind a counter, we can use demonstratives.

If the product is close to you, you can use THIS for singular and THESE for plural.

Example:

Angelica: I really like THIS cap. What do you think?

Leticia : It’s very nice. It looks good on you.

(image taken from www.amazon,com)

(Angelica is talking about one piece of clothing close to her. She can see it and touch it).



Example:

(image taken from www.dailymail.co.uk).

Robert: How much are THESE t-shirts?

Salesclerk: They’re 10 dollars each.

(Robert is asking about two pieces of clothing and they are close to him. In fact, he is holding two t-shirts)

Example:

( image taken from www.totalmarketexposure,com)

Katty: Wow! Look at THAT dress. It is very stylish.

Valentine: Yeath. It is nice.

(Katty is referring to one dress that is behind the shop window, that is, it is not close to her as the previous example above)



Example:

(image taken from www.techeblog.com)

David: Look at THOSE doors. They are very nice for my house.

Marcelo: You are right. How much are they?

( David is referring to doors behind the shop window, that is, not close to him as the previous example) .

Don’t forget:

Condition Singular Plural

Close This These

Not close That Those

Is are



8.5 Saying prices.

When you go shopping, it is important to hear carefully when a salesperson say a price of an item. The idea is to pay what the item is worth, and not to pay for extra money.

Practice this Dialog with your partner.

Salesperson: Hello. Can I help you?

You: Uh. Hi. How much are those socks?

Salesperson: These? They are very popular. They’re $70.

You: Okay. And what about the blue cap? How much is that?

Salesperson: This cap is on sale. It’s only $2.99

You: $2.99? It is very cheap. Give me one please.

Salesperson: Okay. Here it is.

Saying prices:

$3.99 = Three dollars and ninety –nine cents or Three ninety-nine.

$135 = A hundred and thirty -five (dollars).

$575 = Five hundred and seventy –five (dollars)

Producen situaciones comunicativas escritas y orales para describir actividades realizadas en el pasado reciente, aplicando el tiempo verbal pasado simple.

10.1 Talking about past events

When you perform an action that already happened, you are talking about past tense. So it is important to know this structure.

Remember :

Affirmative Negative Interrogative

I danced salsa last night. I did not

didn’t

dance salsa last night. Did I dance salsa last night?

Pamela bought a car yesterday. Pamela did not

didn’t

buy a car yesterday Did Pamela buy a car yesterday?

George played tennis last week. George did not

didn’t

play tennis last week Did George play tennis last week?

Camila got up very early. Camila did not

didn’t

get up early. Did Camila get up early?

Examples: 1) A: Did you watch tv last night, David? B: No, I didn’t. I went to bed early. 2) A: Did your mother cook chicken last Sunday? B: Yes, she did. She took one hour to prepare it.



10.2 Classifying the verbs.

When we want to talk in action already happened, it is necessary to make the distinction between regular and irregular verbs. They follow the same rules in affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences, but they change differently from present to past form.

a) Regular

Verbs

b) Irregular

a) Regular verbs: They are called “regular” because these verbs don’t change from the present to the past form. When we change a regular verb into its past form, we just add – ED at the end of the word. Examples: I danced pop music last Saturday. (play - played) Richard worked very hard last night. (work - worked) We lived there for two years. (live - lived )

CAREFUL! With most verbs, we just add- ED . However, there are some rules we need To follow carefully when we change some verbs:



Verbs ending in ……..

How to make the simple past Examples

e Add- D live lived

dance danced move moved

Consonant + Y

Change y to i, then add-ED try tried study studied cry cried

One vowel + one consonant (but NOT w or y)

Double the consonant, the add-ED

stop stopped commit committed plug plugged

Anything else including w

Add – ED boil boiled play played call called show showed

b) Irregular verbs: They are called “irregular” because these verbs change

considerably from the present to the past form. Examples: I went to Aiep yesterday. (go - went ) My mom bought a delicious cake. (buy - bought) Camila wrote a poem for me. (write - wrote ) My dad sold his old car last month. ( sell - sold ) Peter swam very far from the beach. (swim - swam ) You took the bus very early this morning. (take - took ) Sarah made delicious doughnuts last Sunday. (make - made )



10.3 Asking for information about past event.

We can ask for specific information about past events, using the WH questions we have seen in previous lessons. The structure is the same as interrogative sentences.

WH- QUESTION Ask the question Answer the question

WHAT…? What DID you do yesterday? I STUDIED English very hard.

WHO…? Who DID you dance with? I DANCED with my boyfriend.

WHERE…? Where DID Ann go last night? She WENT to the disco last night.

WHEN…? When DID Tom celebrate his birthday?

He CELEBRATED his birthday in December,

Time expressions used in Past tense:

- Yesterday

- Last night

- Last year / month/ summer/ Monday/ weekend / Sunday / etc

- Five minutes ago

- Ten years ago

- Five seconds ago, etc

- In 2013



WHY…? Why DID you study in Aiep? Because I LIKED my career.

HOW…? How DID Valentina drive? She DROVE carefully.

WHAT TIME…? What time DID you get up? I GOT UP at nine o’clock.

11.1 Exchanging Personal Information with TO Be in Past tense.

If you want to get information from a person about his/her past , it is necessary to remind the way this structure works. The verb TO BE is an irregular verb; that means that it changes in its past form and we use one or the other depending on the subject of our sentence.

He drank the coffee and ate half of the sandwich , and then he left. I was hungry, so I ate the other half. Then a few minutes later, he came back!. He was on his cell phone, so I didn’t explain about the sandwich. I just left, I was embarrassed!. But things got worse.
