📚 Present perfect simple and present perfect continuous (multiple choice). Good luck!🍀 #quiz

🔰Present perfect simple or progressive (continuous) الفرق بين الزمن المضارع التام البسيط و المستمر 1⃣ Non-progressive verbs الافعال غير المستمرة Some verbs are not used in progressive forms, even if the meaning is one for which a progressive form is more suitable. Common examples are be, have and know. بعض الافعال لا يمكن استخدامها في صيغة المستمر حتى و إن كان معنى الجملة يتطلب ذلك و من أمثلة هذه الافعال be, have, know: ✨Jack's been ill all week. ✨She’s had a cold since Monday. (not She’s been having a cold ...)✘ ✨I’ve only known her for two days. (not I’ve only been knowing her ... )✘ 2⃣ Temporary or permanent أحداث مؤقتة أم ثابتة و دائمة🤔 We use progressive forms mostly for shorter, temporary actions and situations. When we talk about longer-lasting or permanent situations we often prefer the simple present perfect. نستخدم صيغة المستمر من هذا الزمن للتعبير عن الاحداث القصيرة في مدتها أو مؤقتة. أما إذا كانت عكس ذلك فنستخدم صيغة التام البسيط. لاحظ الامثلة و قارن بينها: 🤔Compare: 🔹I’ve been playing the piano all afternoon, and I’m really tired. ◽My grandmother has played the piano since she was a little girl. 🔹I haven’t been working very well recently. ◽He hasn’t worked for years. 🔹I’ve been living at Emma’s place for the last month. ◽My parents have lived in Bristol all their lives. 🔻Progressive and simple tenses are sometimes both possible, with a slight difference of emphasis. 🔻يمكن استخدام الزمنين في بعض الحالات مع اختلاف بسيط من حيث التأكيد على معنى الجملة. ✨It’s been raining/It's rained steadily since last Saturday. ✨Harry has been working/has worked in the same job for thirty years. 🔻We generally use the progressive to talk about continuous change or development, even if this is permanent. 🔻عادة ما تُستخدم صيغة المستمر للتعبير عن تغيّر أو تطوّر في الحدث حتى لو كان بشكل دائم. ✨Scientists believe that the universe has been expanding steadily since the beginning of time. 3⃣ How much? how often? simple present perfect We use the simple present perfect to say how much we have done, or how often we have done something. نستخدم الزمن المضارع التام البسيط للحديث عن مقدار ممارستنا لفعل ما أو كم مرة نمارس هذا الفعل. قارن: 🤔Compare: 🔹I’ve been planting rose bushes all afternoon. ◽Look at all the rose bushes I’ve planted. ( not ... I’ve been planting. )✘ 🔹We’ve been painting the house. ◽We’ve painted two rooms since lunch time. (not We’ve been painting...)✘ 🔹I've been playing a lot of tennis recently. ◽I’ve played tennis three times this week. @EnglishGrammarSecrets

🔰The Present Perfect tense 🔰الزمن المضارع التام 🔻Finished events connected with the present 🔻أحداث مكتملة و مرتبطة بالحاضر We use the present perfect especially to say that a finished action or event is connected with the present in some way. If we say that something has happened, we are thinking about the past and the present at the same time, for example if we are giving news. 🔹I can’t go skiing because I have broken my leg. ✨A present-perfect sentence often corresponds to a present-tense sentence expressing the same facts. ✨جملة الزمن المضارع التام عادة تكون متوافقة مع جملة الزمن المضارع البسيط من حيث التعبير عن الحقائق ذاتها. 🔹I've broken my leg. 👉🏻 My leg is broken now. 🔹Some fool has let the cat in. 👉🏻 The cat is in. 🔹Utopia has invaded Fantasia. 👉🏻 Utopia is at war with Fantasia. 🔹Emily has had a baby. 👉🏻 Emily now has a baby. 🔹Our dog has died. 👉🏻 Our dog is dead. 🔹Have you read Hamlet? 👉🏻Do you know Hamlet? 🔹All the wars in history have taught us nothing. 👉🏻 We know nothing. ✨The present perfect is often used to express the idea of completion or achievement. ✨يستخدم الزمن المضارع التام عادة للتعبير عن فكرة اكتمال الحدث أو إنجازه بشكل تام. 🔹At last!

🔰Regular verbs All new verbs in English are regular. ✨I photocopied the report. ✨She faxed it to me. ✨They emailed everybody about it. ✨I googled my name and got more than 20,000 responses. 🔰Irregular verbs There are approximately 180 irregular verbs. You don’t need to learn all of them because some of these are very rare but many others are very useful and you do need to know them. What’s the easiest way to learn them? Some people think you should learn a list ‘by heart’. Others think you should not learn them at all – you will just gradually acquire them over time. One useful method is to note down new irregular verbs as you meet them. It is useful to write these verbs (or any vocabulary you want to learn) in sentences and learn those rather than the individual word. 🔻Which is easier to learn?🤔 ✨Swim swam swum ✨I swam In the pool. Another technique is to classify the irregular verbs into 4 categories. 1️⃣All forms the same: 🔸set set set 🔸cost cost cost 2️⃣Similar sound groups 🔹beat beat beaten 🔹eat ate eaten 🔹blow blew blown 🔹throw threw thrown 🔹drink drank drunk 🔹sing sang sung 🔹speak spoke spoken 🔹wake woke woken 3️⃣The second and third forms are the same. ◽️bend bent bent ◽️sleep slept slept ◽️spend spent spent ◽️bring brought brought ◽️buy bought bought ◽️teach taught taught ◽️have had had ◽️pay paid paid ◽️say said said 4️⃣The “unclassifiables” ♦️come came come ♦️do did done ♦️go went gone ♦️show showed show @EnglishGrammarSecrets
