Essential English Grammar Points
Third Person Singular
For present simple verbs with he, she, it, add -s or -es (e.g., he walks, she teaches).
Past Simple vs. Past Continuous
Past Continuous:was/were + verb-ing for longer, ongoing past actions (e.g., "I was doing my homework").
Past Simple: For shorter, completed actions that interrupt or occur at a specific point (e.g., "my mobile rang").
Used To
Used to describe actions or situations that occurred regularly in the past but do not happen now (e.g., "Abi used to live in London").
Present Perfect
Formed with have/has + past participle.
Used for actions that began in the past and continue to the present, or past actions with a present result.
Already, Yet, and Just
Already: Indicates something happened sooner than expected (e.g., "Victor has already finished").
Yet: Used in questions and negative sentences to ask if something has happened or to say it hasn't happened up to now (e.g., "Has he arrived yet?" "He hasn't arrived yet.").
Just: Indicates something happened a very short time ago (e.g., "He's just left").
For vs. Since
For: Used with a period of time (e.g., "for a year," "for three days").
Since: Used with a specific point in time (e.g., "since September," "since 2020," "since yesterday").
Past Simple vs. Present Perfect (Usage Clarification)
Past Simple: Used for completed actions at a specific point in the past (e.g., "I visited Paris last year").
Present Perfect: Used for actions that began in the past and continue to the present, or past actions with a present result, where the exact time is not specified or important (e.g., "I have visited Paris many times").
Future Tenses: Will vs. Going To
Will: Used for future facts, predictions (often based on opinion), spontaneous decisions, and promises (e.g., "It will be my birthday," "I think it will rain," "I'll help you").
Going To: Used for future plans and intentions (often decided before the moment of speaking) and predictions based on present evidence (e.g., "I'm going to study tonight," "Look at those clouds, it's going to rain").
