Comment on the difference in usage of the Past Indefinite and the Present Perfect.. Exemplify your commentary with the cases from the text.
The past simple is used for actions which happened in the past and are not related to the present.
We use the past simple:
• for an action which happened at a definite time in the past. The time is stated, already known or implied.
e.g. Simon Cook painted his first picture in 1980. (When? In 1980. The time is stated.)
• for an action which began and finished in the past.
e.g. Mr Clark taught Maths for thirty years. (He is no longer a teacher. He has retired.)
• for an action which happened in the past and cannot be repeated.
e.g. a) Mike won more than twenty medals when he was an athlete. (He is no longer an athlete. He cannot win another medal.)
b) I once spoke to Frank Sinatra. (He is no longer alive. I won't speak to him again.)
• for an action which happened within a specific time period which is over at the moment of speaking.
e.g. I wrote three letters this morning. (The time period is over. It is evening or night now.)
Note: We use the past simple to talk about actions which were performed by people who are no longer alive, even if the time is not stated,
e.g. Charles Dickens wrote 'Oliver Twist.'
The present perfect is used for actions which happened in the past and are related to the present.
We use the present perfect:
• for an action which happened at an unstated time in tin past. The exact time is either unknown or unimportant and therefore it is not mentioned or implied.
e.g. Simon Cook has painted a lot of pictures. (When? We do not know. The exact time is not mentioned or implied.)
• for an action which started in the past and continue; up to the present.
e.g. Mrs Nelson has taught French for twenty years. (She started teaching French twenty years ago and she is still teaching French today.)
• for an action which happened in the past and may be repeated.
e.g. a) Ben is an athlete. He has won more than ten medals. (He is still an athlete. He may win some more medals.)
b) I've spoken to Celine Dion. (She is still alive. I me speak to her again.)
• for an action which happened within a specific time period which is not over at the moment of speaking
e.g. I've written two letters this morning. (The time period isn’t over)
Comment on the use of the construction and ‘to be going to’ the Present Continuous to express future actions.
Be going to
We use be going to:
Example: I’m going to become a famous violinist one day. (ambition)
Example: Look at the clouds! It’s going to rain. Note: a) we normally use be going to to talk about something we intend to do and Future Indefinite to give details or make comments: Example: I’m going to have a party next week. I’ll invite all my friends. b) we normally use the Present Continuous rather than be going to with verbs to go and to come: Example: Sam is going to the market in a few minutes. Sheila is coming to my house for tea this afternoon. |
