How I'v been studying English since I was 7 Hello, I'm Rostyslav and I'm 19. Before I became a college student I hated learing English as I had an angry teacher. But then I loved learning foreign language and I always had almost the highest rating on English lessons. However my lvl is still low I use articles in wrong way, I still didn't learn how to think on another language etc. I'm always trying to start learing smth new, but after few days I learn less and less. I tried to take a job, exactlly English translation last week, but I even didn't pass grammar test, I scored only 37 of 50 points. However, I had successful conversations with clients on freelance in the past. Now I'm learning English tenses by "English Grammar In Use" and I would like to test my knowledges. Present Simple (I do) We use the tense to talk about things in general, things that happens repeatedly and how often things happens and in special cases to say smth will happen(like "train goes at 10:10" as there is a planed time). Example: I always have a breakfast / She has blu eyes / Do you a bus driver? / He's not good guy Present Continuous (I'm doing) This tense we use for things happens right now, on the middle of doing and in special situations about intentions(going to). Example: I'm reading interestion book / What are you doing? My English is improving right now / She's not working hard Present Perfect (I have done) If smth already happend and we don't know when it was we use this tense. Also the info usually new and connected with now. Examples: I haven't been to Europe YET / Have you saw her? / She just has gone out / They've already found out about it Present Perfect Continuous (I have been doing) When we say about things have happend in the past and they still continue until now we use PPC tense. Examples: It have been raining since morning / He hasn't been working almost 2 days / How long have you been learning English? Past Simple (I did) This tense is used for completed situations. Examples: I cooked diner / They were at home / She didn't work today / Did you know smth about this? Past continuous (I was doing) If smth was happening during specific time we use PC. Examples: Something was missing / They were playing tennis from 5 till 8 / She wasn't doing somthing when he arrived / What were you doing last evening? That's all for the moment.
