With Examples

Indefinite – means that the action without beginning, ending, period of time. The action is regular, repeated, expresses the state of the weather and we do not know how long it takes to be performed. That is why another name (Simple) is used too.

Progressive – the action in the constant state of performing, unbreakable, at the moment of speaking, frequently repeated, temporary situations and we used to name Progressive Tense – Continuous.

Perfect – already performed action which is connected with the result, or happened, or completed. Usually is connected with personal concern, experience, changes which has happened.

Auxiliary Verbs we use to form Tenses in their interrogative, negative variants but they have the twins which have lexical meanings: forms of the verb “to be” (am,are,is,was,were,havebeen,hasbeen,hadbeen,willbe,will have been,wouldbe,would have been – in active voice), the verb “to do” (do,does,did,done), the verb to have (have ,has ,had,willhave,would have), will.

For the actions in the Present Indefinite Tense: do, does “What DO you do at home?” “What DOES he do at home?” “I DO not like cakes.” He DOES not like cakes.

Declarative sentences V/V(s) “I sleep at home” “He likes cakes”
That to drill the session find verses in the songs you have already learned.

Actions in the Present Progressive Tense are provided with auxiliary verbs: am,are,is, + v(ing)
In the interrogative sentences auxiliary verb is before the subject this is called – back order of the words in the sentence. And in the negative one we add “ NOT” to the auxiliary verb.” ARE you waiting for the car in here?” She IS not sleeping at the moment”

In the declarative sentences subject is before predicate which consists of auxiliary and main verbs. “ We ARE sitting now.”
If the question starts with “WHO” the word order is direct. It means that after “WHO” (which plays the role of the subject ) follows the predicate.

The Present Perfect Tense – HAVE/HAS( for he,she,it ) + V3(irregular verbs)/V(ed) – for regular.
The same word order .In the interrogative sentences auxiliary verb is before the subject. And in the negative one we add “ NOT” to the auxiliary verb.” HAS she visited her friend?” “We HAVE not eaten the pie.”

Declarative:” They HAVE acted well.”

The Present Perfect Progressive– joins the qualities of Perfect and Progressive actions. Is formed: auxiliary verb “HAVE BEEN/HAS BEEN +v(ing).
“What have been you doing in the morning? Because you look very tired.” “I have not been sleeping all night long.”

“I have been surfing the internet until the sunrise.”

In these 5 sessions we have had a deal with actions in The Present Tenses. If we change The Present into The Past one we will get the same actions and the bases of their usage but in the Past. Just change the auxiliary verb: DO/DOES into DID for The Past Indefinite, for The Past Progressive WAS/WERE instead AM/ARE/IS, in The Past Perfect HAD changes HAVE/HAS and HAD BEEN in the Past Perfect Progressive appears in its turn instead HAVE BEEN/HAS BEEN.

“What DO you do at home?” “What DOES he do at home?” “I DO not like cakes.” He DOES not like cakes. “I sleep at home” “He likes cakes”
.” ARE you waiting for the car in here?” She IS not sleeping at the moment” “ We ARE sitting now.”
” HAS she visited her friend?” “We HAVE not eaten the pie.”” They HAVE acted well.”
“What have been you doing in the morning? Because you look very tired.” “I have not been sleeping all night long.” “I have been surfing the internet until the sunrise.”

The next sessions of grammar will be as soon as it possible.
We are going to have a deal with the actions in THE PASSIVE VOICE.
