Present perfect

The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that have happened in the past but have a
connection to the present. For example, you can use the present perfect to talk about something that
happened recently, something that has happened for a period of time, or something that has happened
repeatedly.

The negative form of the present perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" and the
negative word "not." For example:
​ I have not eaten yet.

​ She has never been to France.

​ We haven't finished our homework.

​ Sara has not done her homework.

​ Peter hasn't chosen her dress.

The interrogative form of the present perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" in
front of the subject, followed by the main verb in the past participle form. For example:
• Have you ever been to China?
• Has he finished his work yet?
• Have they seen the new movie?

The words "yet" and "ever" can be used with the present perfect to add more meaning to the
sentence.

⮚ "Yet" is used to express that something has not happened yet, but it is expected to happen in
the near future. For example:
● I haven't finished my homework yet, but I will soon.
● Have you met my new friend yet?

⮚ "Ever" is used to ask about whether something has ever happened before. For example:
● Have you ever been to Europe?
● Has she ever won an award?

3.Fill in the blanks with the interrogative form of the verbs in parenthesis.

a) Have you ever been to the beach?

c) Have they seen the new movie?

f) What have you done lately?
g) How much money have you saved up?
h) Have you met my new friend yet?
i) Have you ever tried sushi?

and habits, political and historical events, fads,
fashions, and sports. Cartoons can be humorous
or serious, and they can be used to inform,

SIMPLE PAST VS PAST PROGRESSIVE
The past simple and the past progressive are both English tenses that are used to talk about past actions.
However, they have different uses.
​ The past simple is used to talk about actions that happened and were completed in the past. It is
used for single actions, events, and completed actions. For example:
● I went to the store yesterday.
● She ate her lunch at noon.
● The train arrived on time.

​ The past progressive is used to talk about actions that were in progress at a specific time in the
past. It is used for actions that were happening over a period of time, actions that were
interrupted, and actions that were happening simultaneously. For example:
● I was reading a book when you called.
● She was sleeping when the alarm went off.
● The children were playing in the park when it started to rain.

Tips for using the past simple and the past progressive:
​ The past simple is usually used with adverbs of time that indicate a specific point in time, such
as yesterday, last week, at noon, and on Sunday.
​ The past progressive is usually used with adverbs of time that indicate a period of time, such as
while, when, and for.
​ The past progressive can also be used with adverbs of frequency, such as always, constantly, and
forever, to describe repeated actions that were annoying or irritating.

Present perfect vs. Simple past
The simple past and the present perfect are both English tenses that are used to talk about past actions.
However, they have different uses.

The simple past is used to talk about actions that happened and were completed in the past. It is used
for single actions, events, and completed actions. For example:

​ I ate lunch yesterday.

​ She went to the store last week.

The present perfect is used to talk about actions that started in the past and are still happening now, or
actions that have a connection to the present. It is used for actions that have been completed, but the
result is still relevant to the present. For example:

​ I have eaten lunch already. (I am still full from lunch.)

​ She has gone to the store three times this week. (She is still shopping.)

Tips for using the simple past and the present perfect:

​ The simple past is usually used with adverbs of time that indicate a specific point in time, such
as yesterday, last week, at noon, and on Sunday.
​ The present perfect is usually used with adverbs of time that indicate a period of time, such as
since, for, and already.
​ The present perfect can also be used with adverbs of frequency, such as ever, never, and
always, to describe repeated actions that have happened in the past.

A Summer Adventure

Last summer, my friends and I embarked on an unforgettable adventure. We used to


dream about exploring the mysterious forest near our town, and that summer, we
finally decided to make our dream come true.

We have planned the trip for weeks. We gathered our camping gear, packed food,
and set off early in the morning. As we hiked through the dense woods, the sun was
shining brightly, and the birds were singing in the trees. After a few hours of
walking, we stumbled upon an old, abandoned cabin. It seemed like it used to
belong to someone long ago. Excited and curious, we decided to explore it. The
door creaked open, revealing a room filled with dusty furniture and old books. It felt
like we had stepped back in time.

As we were exploring, we heard rustling outside. We froze, listening carefully. It


turned out to be a rabbit hopping through the grass. Relieved, we laughed at our own
nervousness. We continued our journey deeper into the forest. By late afternoon, we
found a clearing by a sparkling river. We decided to pitch our tents there and spend
the night.

Sitting around the campfire, we shared stories and roasted marshmallows. We


looked up at the starry sky, feeling grateful for the adventure we were experiencing.
The next morning, we reluctantly packed our things and began our journey back
home. The memories we had made during those two days would stay with us
forever. As we walked back, we talked about how much we have learned and how
our friendship has grown stronger. Looking back on that summer adventure, we
realized that dreams can come true if you have the courage to chase them. The
forest, once a mystery, had become a place filled with stories and memories that we
would cherish for the rest of our lives.

Hi Maddy, I’m a teenager, 13 years old. I am dealing with bullying at school. It has been tough. I
constantly face verbal taunts, exclusion, and sometimes even physical harm from my classmates.
This situation makes me anxious, affecting my confidence and academic performance. Most of the
time I don’t want to go to school. I cannot understand why they bully me. I only want to feel safe
and accepted. What should I do?
Hi there,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time.
Bullying is never okay, and no one should endure it. Here's some advice:

❖ You should talk to someone You Trust. This person can be a parent,
guardian, teacher, or school counselor. Let them know what is
happening so they can support you.
❖ Also, you should keep a record. You should take notes of instances of
bullying, including dates, times, and details. This can be helpful when
discussing the issue with
school authorities.

❖ You should spend time with friends who make you feel safe and
valued. Supportive friends can provide comfort during tough times.

Modal verbs for obligations and prohibitions

Must is used to express a strong obligation or necessity. It implies that something is required or
mandatory.

Example: "You must finish your homework before going out to play."

meeting.

Mustn't is used to express a strong prohibition or something that is not allowed. It indicates a
rule or restriction.

Example: "You mustn't smoke in this area; it's prohibited."

or not required.

Example: "You don't have to bring a gift to the party, but it's a nice gesture."

Prohibition and Obligation at University in Ecuador

In Ecuador, universities play an important role in shaping the future of the country's
young generation. Universities establish rules and guidelines to maintain order, foster
academic growth, and ensure a safe and respectful environment for all students.

Ecuadorian universities have clear rules in place to maintain a good learning


environment. Prohibitions include strict codes against plagiarism, cheating, and bad
behavior during lectures or examinations. Plagiarism, in particular, is strictly prohibited,
and universities take a strong stance against it. Students are educated on the importance
of academic integrity, and severe consequences are imposed on those who violate this
prohibition.

In Ecuadorian universities, students have several obligations, including regular


attendance, active participation in classes, and submission of assignments within set
deadlines. Furthermore, there is an obligation to respect diversity and encourage
tolerance and acceptance among students, creating a harmonious atmosphere where
everyone feels valued.

Another significant obligation is related to community service. Many universities in


Ecuador require students to engage in community outreach programs or volunteer work
as part of their curriculum. In conclusion, prohibition and obligation are essential
aspects of university life in Ecuador. While prohibitions maintain order and ethics,
obligations promote academic excellence, character development, and social
responsibility.

Abilities during childhood

Many famous people, who have achieved remarkable success as adults, possessed
unique past abilities during their childhood. These early talents and skills often played a
significant role in shaping their future paths.

For instance, Albert Einstein, renowned for his groundbreaking theories in physics, he
couldn't speak fluently until the age of four. His delayed speech development didn't
hinder his later ability to articulate complex scientific concepts, earning him a place in
history. Mozart, the prolific composer, could play the piano and compose music by the
age of five. His remarkable musical abilities during childhood paved the way for his
extraordinary career in classical music.

Oprah Winfrey, a media mogul and influential talk show host, couldn't have predicted
her future success while growing up in challenging circumstances. However, her natural
ability to connect with people and communicate effectively shone through, ultimately
leading to her iconic talk show and media empire.

The story of these famous figures illustrates those past abilities, whether delayed or
evident from an early age, can be transformative. It's a reminder that childhood talents,

Most important inventions for human beings

Throughout history, humans have invented and innovated to improve their lives. Some
of these inventions have been so impactful that they have shaped the course of
humanity.

One of the most significant inventions in human history is the wheel, which was created
thousands of years ago. It has revolutionized transportation, making the movement of
goods and people much more efficient. The wheel's invention had a profound impact on
agriculture, industry, and trade, enabling the development of civilizations.

The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, changed the
way information was disseminated. It has played a crucial role in the spread of
knowledge and the advancement of education. Gutenberg's invention had a lasting
effect, laying the foundation for the modern era of information and communication. In
the 19th century, the steam engine was developed, sparking the Industrial Revolution. It
transformed manufacturing processes and transportation systems. Steam engines have
been integral in the development of modern infrastructure and the growth of cities.

The invention of the internet, which occurred in the late 20th century, has connected
people across the globe like never before. It continues to revolutionize communication,
commerce, and education. The internet is an ongoing source of innovation and change

Past perfect negative and interrogative forms

The Past Perfect tense is used to describe an action that happened before another action
in the past.

Negative Form:
To form the negative form of the Past Perfect tense, you typically use "had not" or the
contraction "hadn't" followed by the past participle of the main verb.

Structure:

Subject + had not (hadn't) + past participle (verb in past participle form)

Examples:

● She had not visited that museum before last week.


● They hadn't completed the project by the time the deadline arrived.

"Hadn't" is the contraction for "had not" in the negative form.

Interrogative Form:
To form the interrogative (question) form of the Past Perfect tense, only switch the
subject and "had" and use the past participle of the main verb.

Structure:

Had + subject + past participle (verb in past participle form)?

Examples:

● Had she visited that museum before last week?


● Had they completed the project by the time the deadline arrived?

These forms of the Past Perfect tense are essential for discussing actions that happened
before other actions in the past and for asking questions or making negative statements
about such actions.

Hedy Lamarr

Hedy Lamarr was a famous lady who lived a long time ago. She was born in Austria in
1914 and became a big movie star. She acted in many movies and was known for her
beauty and talent.

But Hedy was not just a movie star; she was also very smart. During World War II, she

enemies to stop the torpedoes. Even though Hedy was very smart, not many people
knew about her invention at that time. It was a secret for many years.

Later on, people realized how important Hedy's invention was. It became the basis for
things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS that we use in our phones and computers today.
So, Hedy Lamarr not only acted in movies but also helped make our modern world

Past perfect vs. simple past


The simple past is used to describe actions or events that happened at a specific point in
the past. It indicates that the action is completed and no longer ongoing.
It is often used with time expressions like yesterday, last week, two years ago, in 1990,
etc.
Example: "She visited Paris last summer."

The past perfect is used to describe actions or events that happened before another
action or event in the past. It helps to establish a sequence of events in the past.
It is formed by using "had" + the past participle of the verb.
It is often used with expressions like "before," "after," "by the time," "already," and
"until."
Example: "By the time we arrived, she had already eaten."

Key Differences:
Simple Past: Describes a single completed action in the past.
Past Perfect: Describes an action that happened before another action in the past.
Simple past is used for describing individual past actions, while past perfect is used to
show which of two past actions happened first.

FUTURE TENSES- WILL- NEGATIVE FORM
The future simple tense in negative form is used to express actions or events that will
not happen in the future. To create negative sentences in the future simple tense, you
typically use the auxiliary verb "will not" (won't) followed by the base form of the main
verb.

Structure:
[Subject] + [Will not / Won't] + [Base form verb] + [Rest of the sentence]

Examples:
● I won't go to the party tonight.
● She won't visit her relatives next month.
● They won't buy a new car this year.
The use of won't (will not) makes the sentences negative, indicating that the actions
described in each sentence will not occur in the future. The base form of the verb
remains unchanged.

ROBOT

Once upon a time, in a busy city filled with robots and machines,
there was a special robot named Robo. Robo was different from the
others because it had a big dream – it wanted to be a human.

Robo had shiny metal parts and could do amazing tasks. It could build
things, clean houses, and even play music. But there was something

Robo kept trying to be more human. It learned about emotions, kindness, and helping
others. And though it couldn't be a human in the same way, it became a very special
robot. Robo showed that even robots could have big hearts and make the world a better
