Present tense and present continuous ...

Present tense . 

subject	+	auxiliary verb	+	main verb
		do		base

There are three important exceptions:

1. For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
2. For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb or es to the auxiliary.

Look at these examples with the main verb like:

	subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I, you, we, they			like	coffee.
	He, she, it			likes	coffee.
-	I, you, we, they	do	not	like	coffee.
	He, she, it	does	not	like	coffee.
?	Do	I, you, we, they		like	coffee?
	Does	he, she, it		like	coffee?

Present tense .

The structure of the present continuous tense is:

subject	+	auxiliary verb	+	main verb
		be		base + ing

Look at these examples:

	subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I	am		speaking	to you.
+	You	are		reading	this.
-	She	is	not	staying	in London.
-	We	are	not	playing	football.
?	Is	he		watching	TV?
?	Are	they		waiting	for John?

Subject Verb Agreement

Singular subjects need singular verbs and Plural subjects need plural verbs. Pronouns such as everyone and everybody seem plural, but they are always singular — so they need a singular verb.

•Verbs that accompany pronouns such as all and some will be determined by whether the pronoun is referring to something that is COUNTABLE or not.

Phrases such as together with, along with, and as well as seem to combine subjects, but they do not .

When either and neither appear as a subject alone (without the words or and nor), they are singular.

The words there and here are never subjects.

Verbs in the present tense for third-person, singular subjects (he, she, it and anything those words can stand for) have s-endings. Other verbs do not add s-endings.

Reference words and contextual clues ..

Today we learn about Context clues . Context clues are bits of information from the text that, when combined with prior knowledge, allow you to decide the meaning of unknown words in the story or article you are reading.

•As a reader you must act similar to a detective and put together clues from sentences surrounding an unknown word in order to make an intelligent “guess” as to what the definition of a word is.ut togetAuthors use many different types of context clues when writing texts.  Three of these types are:

ØDirect definition context clues

ØSynonym context clues

                        ØAntonym context clues

that all..thank you

Transition Signal

today we learn about transition . Transition signals are words and phrases that link one sentence with another sentence, usually the one immediately before it. They can also be used in a compound sentence to connect the second independent clause with the first one. These words and phrases function as adverbs that modify entire sentences; hence, they are called sentence adverbs. Signals of an apparent contradiction for argumentative essays.Example , however and yet .secondly , Related words (These words are used to connect two clauses in the same sentence.)example although , but . we also learn about Signals of concession .These words introduce points that contradict your main point, which you are conceding without giving up your claim that your main point is true.example , Of course, To be sure, and naturally .

that all.thank you.

shock

Hi..and welcome to my blog.
*First of all, this is my first blog because I entered this class (BEL120) late . ^_^
Today was my first class in BEL120.I felt a little afraid with Miss Zu which is my lecturer.She looks like a monster. She asked me a lot of questions until I became speechless. I think today was my bad day because I just entered the class and suddenly I was asked to acted in this class.
I felt totally shocked because I know nothing. I felt so blur. But my group did well in this task.
Thank you my friends for helping me although my scene was just a little only.
At the same time, I felt so happy because I had fun enjoying my BEL120 class.
