Module 1Unit 1,2,3 and 4

Present Simple Rule: We use the present simple for things which happen regularly

or which are always true.

With I, you, we and they we use the base form of the verb. With he, she and it we add –s

Vorm: ◦ Hele werkwoord◦ Hele werkwoord + S bij he/she/it

Wanneer gebruik je het? Signaalwoorden◦ Altijd Always, every...◦ Nooit Never◦ Regelmatig Usually

Negative and questions: ◦ He/she/it --> does of doesn’t◦ ‘rest’ --> do of don’t (I, you, we, you, they)

Vorm:Do / don’t / does / doesn’t + hele werkwoord

He doesn’t go to school todayWe don’t read any books

What do you think?What does he think?

Short answers◦ Do you know how? -> Yes, I do◦ Does she go? -> Yes, she does.

Remember this for he/she/it: 1. Verb ending in -s sound

◦ s --> he misses◦ sh --> she washes◦ ch --> he reaches◦ x --> it mixes

2. Remember: consonant + y --> the ending is ies

◦ He tries◦ He studies

3. Sometimes –es◦ Go --> goes◦ Do --> does

Present ContiNUous Rule: We use the present continuous to talk about things that are

happening at or around the time of speaking.

We form the present continuous with the present tense of be + verb + ing.

Vorm: ◦ vorm van “to be” (am / is / are) + hele werkwoord + -ING

Wanneer gebruik je het?◦ Tegenwoordige tijd; iets is aan de gang of bezig.

Waaraan herken je het? (signaalwoorden)◦ (right) now, at the moment, at present, look, listen, currently.

I am jumping right now

Vraagzinnen:◦ Am/are/is + onderwerp + werkwoord + ING

Is he walking to school now?

Ontkennende zinnen:◦ Am not / aren’t / isn’t+ werkwoord + ING

He isn’t walking to school now, he is walking to the bus stop.

Als een werkwoord op een -e eindigt, dan vervalt de -e als ING wordt toegevoegd.

Have --> having NOT haveing!! Make --> making Drive --> driving

Sommige werkwoorden komen zelden voor in de vorm van een present continuous:

Believe – know – understand – remember – want – need – mean – like – hate.
