Introduction
This book is designed to revise and consolidate grammar points
at the level of Cambridge ESOL Proficiency and CAE or Common
European Framework levels C l and C2.
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.
• 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
• Repeated actions
My car has broken down, so I am walking to work these days.
• Headlines
These are written in a ‘telegram’ style, and references to the past are usually simplified
to present simple.
Ship sinks in midnight collision.
• 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 ...

ADVANCED LANGUAGE PRACTICE
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.)
• 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.
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?
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.
• 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
• 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.
GRAMMAR 2 FUTURĘ TIME
In July Gordon (1) will be/wiU have been a t his company for 3 0 years and (2) he’s finally
retiring/hell finally retire on his 6 5 tli birthday. WeVe decided to have a long holiday and
(3) we’re going to tal<e/we’ll tatethe opportunity to visit some old friends in Hungary,
