2. Present Simple with future meaning
 The present simple can be used to talk about talk about scheduled future
events (things that happen according to a schedule or timetable). These
events are usually scheduled by someone else and they are usually public
events.
 Final exams start next week.
 The concert begins at 6:30 p.m.
 The plane departs at 8 p.m.
 Her train arrives at 8:35 a.m. tomorrow morning.

3. Future “ be about to + infinitive
 Be about + to-infinitive refers to arranged actions that happen in the
immediate future. It is often used with just:
 Ejemplo:
Hurry up! The ceremony is about to begin!
"Do you have a minute?" "I'm sorry, I'm just about to leave."

4. Verb+ infinitive
 Basically, an infinitive verb is a verb with the word “to” in front of it.
 to be
 to have
 to hold
 to sleep
 to dream
 When you use an infinitive verb, the “to” is a part of the verb. It is not acting as a
preposition in this case. And the verb is always just the verb. It’s not conjugated
in anyway – no -ed, no -ing, no -s on the end. Sometimes you’ll see sentences
like this:
 She went from kissing him to slapping him in no time.

5. Present perfect simple + Just
‘Just’ is usually used only with the present perfect tense and it means ‘a short
time ago’.
 I’ve just seen Susan coming out of the cinema.
 Mike’s just called. Can you ring him back please?
 Have you just taken my pen? Where has it gone?
In the present perfect, ‘just’ comes between the auxiliary verb (‘have’) and
the past participle.

6. Present perfect simple + for
For: is used with a duration.
 Example:
 For six days, For a long time
 Durante seis días, durante un largo tiempo
For + período de tiempo
 I have studied for three days.
 He estudiado durante tres días

7. Present perfect simple + since
 Since + momento concreto de tiempo
I haven´t studied since Tuesday.
No he estudiado desde el martes.
 Since: is used as a point in time and means 'from that point to the time of
speaking'.
Example:
Since 1960, Since yesterday.

8. Reported speech
 Cuando queremos informar exactamente de lo que otra persona ha
dicho, utilizamos el estilo directo. Con este estilo lo que la persona ha
dicho se coloca entre comillas ("...") y deberá ser palabra por palabra.
 Ejemplos:
 I am going to London next week, she said. "I am going to London next
week," she said.
("Voy a Londres la semana que viene," ella dijo.)
Do you have a pen I could borrow?, he asked. "Do you have a pen I could
borrow," he asked.
("¿Tienes un bolígrafo que puedas prestarme?," él preguntó.)

10. Past continuous
 [was/were + present participle]
 Examples:
 You were studying when she called.

 You were not studying when she called

11. Voice passive
Subject Verb Object
The movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the
Black Pearl.
was seen
by a lot of
people.
Passive Voice
Where is the doer of the action (seeing)? It is in the object position and is preceded by the preposition by.
When the agent is in the object position or if it is not mentioned, then the sentence will be a passive voice
sentence.

12. Present simple passive
Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore, tenses also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You
must learn to recognize the difference to successfully speak English.
Active Form
In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the
action is the object. Most sentences are active.
[Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action]
Examples:
Passive Form
In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the
action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that
the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive
form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action.
[Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing action]
Examples:
