To learn how to use them, watch the video :) Present simple: I go to the gym twice a week. To ask a question, use ‘do’ or ‘does’ and the ‘base’ form of the verb: How often does your sister go to the gym? To make it into a negative sentence, add ‘not’ after ‘do/does’. For short, you can use ‘don’t/doesn’t’. I go to the gym = I don’t go to the gym. Present continuous: I am drinking coffee right now. So, it's 'to be' + verb + ing To ask a question, invert 'to be' and the subject: Are you drinking coffee right now? To make it negative, add 'not' after 'to be': I am not drinking coffee right now. Present perfect: I have had this car for a year. So, you need ‘have/has' and the past participle form (third form). 'Had' is the past participle form of the verb 'to have'. To ask a question, invert 'have/has' and the subject: Has she lived here for a long time? To make it negative, add 'not' after 'have/has': I have not lived here for a long time. Present perfect continuous: I have been drinking this coffee for 10 minutes. You need 'have/has' + 'been' + verb + ing To ask a question, invert 'have/has' and the subject: How long have you been waiting? To make it negative, add 'not' after 'have/has': He has not been waiting long. Tend to: I tend to have my lunch at midday. What time do you tend to have your lunch? I don’t tend to have lunch early. ___ ⭐️ Join my English Grammar Membership to get access to more than 100 video lessons and practice exercises, a forum where you can ask questions and get answers from your teacher, monthly challenges and special events.
