GRAMMAR

Present time
Basic contrasts: present simple and present continuous
• Present simple generally refers to:
Facts that are always true
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
Habits
British people drink a lot oftea .
States
I don’t like gangster films.

• Present continuous (progressive) generally refers to actions which are in progress at the
moment. These can be temporary:
Fm staying in a hotel until Ifin d a fiat.
They can be actually in progress.
The dog is sleeping on our hedl
Or they can be generally in progress but not actually happening at the moment.
Tm learning to drive.

• State verbs and event (action or dynamie) verbs


State verbs describe a continuing State, so do not usually have a continuous form.
Typical examples are:
believe, belong, consist, contain, doubt,fit, have, know, like, love, matter, mean, need,
own, prefer, seem, suppose, suspect, understand, want, wish

• Some verbs have a stative meaning and a different active meaning. Typical examples
are:
be, depend,feel, have, measure, see, taste, think, weigh
Compare these uses:
State Event
Jack is noisy. JiU’s being noisy.
Deirdre has a Porsche. We’re having an interesting conversation!
1 think I like youl D avid’s thinking about getting a new job.
T hisfisk tastes awful! 1’m just tasting the soup.
Ifeel thatyou are wrong. rm feelin g terrible.
This bag weighs a ton! We’re weighing the baby.
It depends what you mean. Bill, 1’m depending on you to win this
contractfor us.
The differences here apply to all tense forms, not just to present tense forms.
ADVANCED LANGUAGE PRACTICE

Other uses of present continuous


• Temporary situations
A rey ou enjoyingyour stay here?

• Repeated actions
My car has broken down, so I am walking to work these days.

• Complaints about annoying habits


You are always making sarcastic remarks about my cooking!
Other possible adverbs are: constantly, continually, forever.

• With verbs describing change and development


The weather is getting worse!
More and m ore people are giving up smoking.

Other uses of present simple


• Making declarations
Verbs describing opinions and feelings tend to be State verbs.
I h o p e y o u ll com e to my party.
I bet you d on t know the answer!
I hereby declare this hospital open!

• Headlines
These are written in a ‘telegram’ style, and references to the past are usually simplified
to present simple.
Ship sinks in midnight collision.

• Instructions and itineraries


Instructions and recipes can be written in present simple instead of in imperative
forms. This style is more personal.
First you roli out the pastry.
Itineraries are descriptions of travel arrangements.
On day three we visit Stratford-upon-Avon.

• Summaries of events
Plots of stories, films etc, and summaries of historical events use present (and present
perfect) verb forms.
May 1945: The war in Europę cotnes to an end.
...A t the end o f the play both fam ilies realize that their hatred caused the deaths o f
the lovers ...

• ‘Historie present’ in narrative and funny stories


In informal speech, it is possible to use what we cali the ‘historie present’ to describe
past events, especially to make the narration seem more immediate and dramatic.
... So then the second man asks thefirst one why he has a banana in his ear and the
first one says ...

GRAMMAR

Futurę time
Basic contrasts: will, going to, present continuous
• Will is normally known as the predictive futurę, and describes known facts, or what
we suppose is true.
r i l be late hom e this evening.
The company will make a profit next year.
This can also take the form of an assumption.
T h a fll be Jim at the door. (This means that I suppose it is Jim.)

• Will is also used to express an immediate decision.


r i l take this one.

• Going to describes intentions or plans. At the moment of speaking the plans have
already been made.
7’m going to wait here until Carol gets bach.
Going to is also used to describe an event whose cause is present or evident.
L ook at that treel It’s going to fali.
Compare the following with the will examples above:
1’m going to be late this evening. Vvegot lots ofpaperw ork tofinish off.
The figures are good. I can sec the company is going to make a profit this year.
Decisions expressed with going to refer to a more distant point in the futurę.

• Present continuous describes fixed arrangements, especially social and travel


arrangements. A time reference is usually included. Note the strong similarity to the
going to futurę. I am having a party next week and I am going to have a party next
week are communicating the same message.

Futurę continuous
• This describes an event which will be happening at a futurę point.
Come round in the morning. U l be painting in the kitchen.

• It can also describe events which are going to happen anyway, rather than events
which we choose to make happen,
I w ont bother to fix a time to seeyou , because f i l be calling into the office anyway
several times next week.

• In some contexts futurę continuous also sounds more polite than will.
Witt you be going to the shops later? Ify o u go, could you get m e som e milk?

• It can also be used to refer to fixed arrangements and plans.


The band will be perform ing live in Paris this summer.
ADVANCED LANGUAGE PRACTICE

Futurę perfect
• This has both simple and continuous forms, and refers to time which we look back at
from a futurę point.
In two years time PU have finished the book.
By the end o fth e month, U l have been w orkin g for this firm fo r ayear.

• It can also be used to express an assumption on the part of the speaker.


You won’t have heard the news, ofcourse. (I assume you have not heard the news.)

Other ways of referring to the futurę


• Is/are to be
This is used to describe formal arrangements.
AU students are to assemble in the hall at 9.00.
See also Grammar 9 and 10 for uses expressing obligation.

• Be about to, be on the poin t of, be due to, just/just abou t to


Be about to and be on the point o/both refer to the next moment.
I think the play is about to start now.
Be due to refers to scheduled times.
A nnsflight is due to arrive at 6.20. (or is due at 6.20)
Just can be used to describe something on the point of happening.
Hurry up! The train isjust leaving/just about to leave.

• Present simple and present perfect


Present simple is used to refer to futurę time in futurę time clauses.
When we get there, we’ll have dinner
Present perfect can also be used instead of present simple when the completion of the
event is emphasized.
When we’ve had a rest, w ellg o out.

• Present simple is also used to describe fixed events which are not simply the wishes
of the speaker.
Tom retires in three years.
Similarly, calendar references use the present simple.
Christmas is on a Tuesday next y ear

Other futurę references


• Hope
This can be followed by either present or futurę verb forms.
I hope it doesn’t rain. I hope it won’t rain.

• Other verbs followed by will


Most verbs of thinking can be followed by will if there is futurę reference. These
include: think, believe, expect, doubt.
I expect the train will be late. I doubt whether United will win.

• Skali
The use of shall for first person in futurę reference is declining in use in everyday
8 informal speech. See Grammar 9 and 10 for other uses of shall and will.
