Grammar: Simple Present Tense

Simple Present

The simple present (also called present simple or present indefinite) is a verb tense which
is used to show repetition, habit or generalization. Less commonly, the simple present can be
used to talk about scheduled actions in the near future and, in some cases, actions happening
now. Read on for detailed descriptions, examples, and simple present exercises. Depending on
the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding -s or -es to the
end.

Simple Present Forms

The simple present is just the base form of the verb. Questions are made with do and negative
forms are made with do not.

 Statement: You speak English.
 Question: Do you speak English?
 Negative: You do not speak English.

In the third person singular, -s or -es is added. Questions are made with does and negative forms
are made with does not.

 Statement: He speaks English.
 Question: Does he speak English?
 Negative: He does not speak English.

2 Your Personalities

The five personality traits I chose basically describe me. One personality trait that I have
is that I am calm. I have never gotten into an altercation at school or at any other place for that
matter. I don't get mad easily, which I think is a good thing because if I was a hot head then I
would be getting into a lot of trouble. What I have noticed is that hot heads always have
problems with other people that are hot heads so l'm glad that I am not a hot head. Another
personality trait that I have is that I am talkative. I talk all the time especially with all my close
friends.
I'm always the first one who says something when there is an awkward moment in any
case which I think is a good thing. But when I meet people for the very first time I don't talk as
much which is shyness but when the awkward moment of meeting someone new is over then I
talk more. A third personality trait at I have is caution. I'm always observing my surroundings
and looking for anything that can be dangerous or harmful. A fourth personality trait that I have
is thoughtfulness. I'm always the one who opens the door for everyone and a lot of other little
things like that.
My last personality trait that I have is that I am optimistic. I'm just not a negative person
even when I am upset or mad. There is always that one person in our group of friends that is
negative and I hate it when they try and bring the whole group down. I always tell that one
person to shut up and keep an open mind.
What is a good personality?

Examples of Positive Personality Traits
For example: Being honest and taking responsibility for your actions are admirable qualities. ...
Patience is a virtue and also a good personality trait. Courage will help you do what's right in
tough situations. Loyalty is a good quality to possess, making others trust you.
What are the 4 types of personalities?

The four temperament theory is a proto-psychological theory which suggests that there

are four fundamental personality types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic.
1. Sanguine personality type is described primarily as being highly talkative, enthusiastic,
active, and social. Sanguines tend to be more extroverted and enjoy being part of a crowd;
they find that being social, outgoing, and charismatic is easy to accomplish. Individuals with
this personality have a hard time doing nothing and engage in more risk seeking behaviour.
2. Choleric individuals tend to be more extroverted. They are described as independent,
decisive, and goal-oriented, and ambitious. These combined with their dominant, result-

6
 oriented outlook make them natural leaders. In Greek, Medieval and Renaissance thought,
they were also violent, vengeful, and short-tempered.
3. Melancholic individuals tend to be analytical and detail-oriented, and they are deep thinkers
and feelers. They are introverted and try to avoid being singled out in a crowd. A
melancholic personality leads to self-reliant individuals who are thoughtful, reserved, and
often anxious. They often strive for perfection within themselves and their surroundings,
which leads to tidy and detail oriented behavior.
4. Phlegmatic individuals tend to be relaxed, peaceful, quiet, and easy-going. They are
sympathetic and care about others, yet they try to hide their emotions. Phlegmatic
individuals also are good at generalizing ideas or problems to the world and making
compromises.
Which one is yours?
And discuss with your friends.

ADJECTIVES
What Are Adjectives?

Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns: enormous,

doglike, silly, yellow, fun, fast. They can also describe the quantity of nouns: many, few, millions,
eleven.
Adjectives Modify Nouns

Most students learn that adjectives are words that modify (describe) nouns. Adjectives do
not modify verbs or adverbs or other adjectives.
Example:
Margot wore a beautiful hat to the pie-eating contest.
Furry dogs may overheat in the summertime.

7
 My cake should have sixteen candles.

The scariest villain of all time is Darth Vader.

Uses of Adjectives
Adjectives tell the reader how much—or how many—of something you’re talking about,
which thing you want passed to you, or which kind of something you want.
Example: Please use three white flowers in the arrangement.
Three and white are modifying flowers.

FEATURE OF ADJECTIVE:
1. – IC : energetic, enthusiastic, fantastic
2. – FUL : beautiful, cheerful, colourful
3. – Y : lazy, noisy, sunny, dirty, cloudy
4. – LESS : careless, meaningless, cloudless
5. – NESS : weakness
6. – OUS : famous, humorous, poisonous
7. – AL : general, actual, final, mental
8. – ISH : selfish
9. – ABLE : comfortable, likeable
10. – IBLE : visible
11. – IVE : expensive, imaginative
12 – LY : friendly
13. – AR : popular, familiar, particular
14. – ING : smiling face, loving parents
15. – ED : boiled eggs, wasted time

ADVERB
Adverb is a word that gives a description of the time, the place, or the manner of the
action. Adverb is also defined as a word that describes a prepositional phrase, a verb, adjective,
and another word except noun and pronouns. Many descriptive adjectives can be changed to
adverbs by adding –lyto the adjective base.
For example bright -- brightly, careful -- carefully, quiet -- quietly.
The prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with
a noun. A modifier of time usually comes last if more than one modifier is present. A modifier
answers the question when? Where? or how?

Examples:
John bought a book at the bookstore. Where did John buy a book?

8
Jill was swimming in the pool yesterday. When was Jill swimming?
He was driving very fast. How was he driving?

There are eight kinds of adverbs:adverb of manner, adverb of place, adverb of time,
adverb of frequency, adverb of degree, adverb of affirmation, adverb of interrogative, and
relative adverb.

Examples:
John is reading carefully.
Maria Elena speaks Spanish fluently.
Rita drank too much coffee.

3 Chilhood Memories
Do you remember your mom's or your granny's kitchen? ...
Childhood memory refers to memories formed during childhood. Among its other roles,
memory functions to guide present behaviour and
to predict future outcomes. Memory in childhood
is qualitatively and quantitatively different from
the memories formed and retrieved in
late adolescence and the adult years.
Childhood memory research is relatively recent in
relation to the study of other types of cognitive
processes underpinning behaviour. Understanding
the mechanisms by which memories in childhood
are encoded and later retrieved has important
implications in many areas. Research into
childhood memory includes topics such as childhood memory formation and retrieval
mechanisms in relation to those in adults, controversies surrounding infantile amnesia and the
fact that adults have relatively poor memories of early childhood, the ways in
which school environment and familyenvironment influence memory, and the ways in which
memory can be improved in childhood to improve overall cognition, performance in school,
and well-being, both in childhood and in adulthood.

How do you write childhood memories?

Keep in mind, it's the sensory details that keep the memory alive.

1. Describe in detail one of your earliest childhood memories.

2. Who was your childhood best friend? ...
3.
4. What childhood memories of your parents do you have? ...

5. Describe your favorite holiday memory.

12
Why are childhood memories important?
It learns everything through observations and experience. So whatever we are now is due to the
things we learnt as a child. It is the first instance in life that always is stored in our memory.
Hence childhood memories or events in the formative years of life are very important.

Grammar: Simple Past Tense

DEFINITION OF THE SIMPLE PAST TENSE

The simple past tense, sometimes called the preterite, is used to talk about a completed
action in a time before now. The simple past is the basic form of past tense in English. The time
of the action can be in the recent past or the distant past and action duration is not important.
Examples

 John Cabot sailed to America in 1498.

 My father died last year.
 He lived in Fiji in 1976.
 We crossed the Channel yesterday

You always use the simple past when you say when something happened, so it is
associated with certain past time expressions.
 frequency: often, sometimes, always
I sometimes walked home at lunchtime.
I often brought my lunch to school.
 a definite point in time: last week, when I was a child, yesterday, six weeks ago
We saw a good film last week.
Yesterday, I arrived in Geneva.
She finished her work atseven o'clock
I went to the theatre last night
 an indefinite point in time: the other day, ages ago, a long time ago
People lived in caves a long time ago.
She played the piano when she was a child.

13
Note: the word ago is a useful way of expressing the distance into the past. It is placed after the
period of time: a week ago, three years ago, a minute ago.
Simple past indicates that an activity or situation began and ended at a particular time in
the past. The action was occurring in the past and was interrupted by another action. If a
sentence contains when and has the simple past in both clauses, the action in the “when clause”
happens first.
