Hi Mehdi, do you mean singular and plural regarding the number of people? In this tense we have to conjugate the verb BE to indicate whether we are talking about one or more people, but the ING verb doesn't change form. For 2 or more people, BE = ARE You are smiling They are talking We are listening For the first person singular, use AM - I am singing For the third person singular, use IS - He is walking. She is dancing. It is raining.
Hello,I have a question. I often hear people say,"I am using an I phone", or "I am using this product. " They use something on a daily basis, shouldn't they be saying "I use an I phone"? I heard "I am using an android ".
Generally speaking, yes. The present continuous is used to refer to an action happening at the time of speaking, or a temporary situation. My phone is Huawei and that is the model I have used for many years. I would say 'I have a Huawei', (it would be more natural to me to say 'have' than 'use'). If I said 'I'm using an iPhone', this would indicate that I don't usually use that model.
Dear Prof would you please check my thoughts? Topic is the Continuous infinitive and the action in progress. A) I’m glad. I’m sitting here ( elementary level) B) I’m glad that I’m sitting here ( intermediate level) C) I’m glad to be sitting here ( Advanced level with the continuous infinitive). Do I understand the usage of it?? Thank you S
Hi Andrea! Yes, that's correct. The continuous infinitive is 'to be' or 'be' + present participle, and appears after verbs that are followed by infinitives, modal verbs, and adjectives. I should be working. I'd like to be relaxing. I'm pleased to be working with them.
Someone wants to go vacation she wants to gone 1 month . Do you saiy if someone asked you she will gone all February and she will come back March ? Thank you
Can you say? Who sow luuli or who did see luli? When we using past tense. We say, we didn’t see. when we use did the past tense of see is saw’ so we don’t say we did not sow . Can you explain the first question thank you
@@abdimohamud4604 I can see why you have got confused. You understand the structure of the past tense: postive - change the verb to past simple, eg. Emma saw Luli. negative - use 'didn't + inf', eg. Emma didn't see Luli. question - use 'did' + inf, eg. Who did Luli see? The problem you are having is because of the difference between subject and object questions. Study these examples: Who did Romeo love? Romeo loved Juliet. Who loved Romeo? Juliet loved Romeo. 'Who did Romeo love?' is an object question. This means that the 'who' refers to the object of the phrase - Juliet (Romeo loved Juliet). Most questions are object questions, and it is necessary to use an auxiliary verb. 'Who loved Romeo?' is a subject question. This means the 'who' refers to the subject of the phrase - Juliet (Juliet loved Romeo). Subject questions are less common and don't require an auxiliary verb. That's why it is correct to say 'Who saw Luli?'. The 'who' refers to the subject (someone saw Luli). Because it is a subject question, you don't need an auxiliary verb.

What about singular and plural
Hi Mehdi, do you mean singular and plural regarding the number of people?
In this tense we have to conjugate the verb BE to indicate whether we are talking about one or more people, but the ING verb doesn't change form.
For 2 or more people, BE = ARE
You are smiling
They are talking
We are listening
For the first person singular, use AM - I am singing
For the third person singular, use IS - He is walking. She is dancing. It is raining.

Hi, you need to use the verb 'to be'. She will be gone for the whole of February and she'll come back in March.
Can you say? Who sow luuli or who did see luli? When we using past tense. We say, we didn’t see. when we use did the past tense of see is saw’ so we don’t say we did not sow . Can you explain the first question thank you
@@abdimohamud4604 I can see why you have got confused. You understand the structure of the past tense:
postive - change the verb to past simple, eg. Emma saw Luli.
negative - use 'didn't + inf', eg. Emma didn't see Luli.
question - use 'did' + inf, eg. Who did Luli see?
The problem you are having is because of the difference between subject and object questions.
Study these examples:
Who did Romeo love? Romeo loved Juliet.
Who loved Romeo? Juliet loved Romeo.
'Who did Romeo love?' is an object question. This means that the 'who' refers to the object of the phrase - Juliet (Romeo loved Juliet).
Most questions are object questions, and it is necessary to use an auxiliary verb.
'Who loved Romeo?' is a subject question. This means the 'who' refers to the subject of the phrase - Juliet (Juliet loved Romeo).
Subject questions are less common and don't require an auxiliary verb.
That's why it is correct to say 'Who saw Luli?'. The 'who' refers to the subject (someone saw Luli). Because it is a subject question, you don't need an auxiliary verb.
