V. Grammar and speaking:
Present Perfect, Past Indefinite, Present Continuous (in reading and use).
Notes about grammar in use:
The text has a time phrase (for the past 2 years), which sets the time as time coming up to now (use Present Perfect); text has the time phrase (last night), which sets the time as time finished separated from now.
Below are some rules for the use of the present perfect and the past simple when no explicit time phrases are used.
a) Present perfect is for things that are very recent; past simple is for things that happened a long time ago;
b) It doesn’t matter which tense you choose when there is no time phrase. Both are always possible.
c) Present Perfect is used for things the speaker considers important to in relation to now; past simple is used for things the speaker considers as separated in his/her mind from now.
Past simple is used to talk about past events, which he regards as finalized, or over and done with. Present perfect is used to talk about events which they want to highlight as being incomplete or still relevant.
Do not use time expressions as “two months ago” with Present Perfect tense.
Do not use time expressions which suit current events (lately) with simple past tense.
Some time expressions as today, this morning can be used with either tense depending on the attitude of the speaker: I’ve seen him this morning (The morning is not finished, and the speaker saw him at some point in it).
I saw him this morning (the morning it is not finished, then the speaker is looking back at an earlier part of the morning as if it is completely separated from the time of speaking).
Used with past simple: in the last centuary, three months ago, throughout the 17th centuary.
Used with present perfect: up to now, over the last hundred years or so, since three months ago, lately, within the last three months.
Used with either: for three months, recently, today.
Present Continuous is used
a) for incomplete actions which are happening at the time of speaking; b) when the speaker doesn’t want to emphasise the fact that the actions are repeated, but that they cause a problem when they are occurring; c) to talk about current events or states, often those which are in the process of happening and may be unfinished.
When a fact is Presented as universal, rather than related to the current state of the world, the present simple tense is chosen. You can use the present continuous to: - focus on the point you want Your listener to remember: -soften a vegetative comment speech verbs: say, suggest, ask/for, talk (about), propose.
Should not be used: think, hope.
Rarely: hate, like, want, love, believe, know, mean, hear, see, taste.
