Notes: Forms and Patterns.
1.The Present Simple and the Present Continuous
The difference between the two present tenses:
We use the Simple Present to talk about:
things that are always true or true for a long time;
e.g. The earth goes round the sun.
a habit and things that happen often, usually, sometimes, etc.
e.g. I usually study from five to seven o’clock.
We use the Present Continuous to talk about:
things that are happening now or around now;
e.g.
The water’s boiling. I’ll make coffee.
I’m studying very hard just now.
plans for the future.
e.g. What are you doing tomorrow?
(с) We use some verbs only in the Present Simple, not in the Present Continuous. They are:
|
believe, think, understand, know, forget, remember, suppose, imagine, mean; like, dislike, love, hate, want, wish, prefer; see, hear, smell, taste, feel; have/=possess/, contain, belong to, need, cost, be, seem, own. |
-
e.g.
I think you’re right.
I like this music.
This spaghetti tastes delicious.
2. |
Quantitative Pronouns: |
many, much and a lot few, little, a few, a little |
We use «many, (a) few» with countable nouns.
-
e.g.
Few students are present. (= not many)
A few students are present. (= some, indefinite)
We use «much, (a) little» with uncountable nouns.
e.g. He drinks little beer. (=not much)
There’s a little wine left. (=some, indefinite)
We usually use «much/many» mainly in the negative sentences and questions.
-
e.g.
Are there many people there?
We haven’t got much time.
In positive sentences «a lot (of)/lots (of)/plenty of» is more usual.
e.g. We spend a lot of money.
She’s got a lot of friends.
We can also use these words without nouns.
e.g. How much does it cost?
I think about you a lot.
But: In positive sentences after «too, so, as, very» we use «many» and «much».
-
e.g.
We’ve got too much milk.
I’ve got so many jobs to do today.
