    Extra information:
    Rules regarding ‘s
    -‘s is added to all verbs used with third person pronouns.
    e.g. He runs/ she jumps/ it works.

    -When verbs end in o, sh, x, ch we add …

    Examples:

    - She wants to eat there every Sunday.


    - She doesn’t want to eat there every Sunday
    - Does she wants to eat there every Sunday ?
    Past simple
    Use: use when you are talking about something that has been completed.
    Structure:

    + Subject/ past verb / termination -ed


    - Subject / did NOT / infinitive verb
    ? Auxiliary verb (did) / subject / infinitive verb
    Extra information:
    For irregular verbs you have to memorize their past form.
    Examples:
    to go went
    to buy bought
    to have had
    to be was/were

    Examples:

    - I did sing
    - I didn’t sing
    - Did I sing?
    Future simple
    Use:
    The future simple is a verb tense that we usually use to express actions or events that will happen at a time
    after the present moment
    Structure:

    + Subject + “will have” + past participle


    Subject + auxiliary verb (to be) + “going to have” + past participle
    - Subject + “will” + “not” + “have” + past participle
    Subject + verbo auxiliar (to be) + “not” + “going to have” + past participle
    ? “Will” + sujeto + “have” + past participle?
    Auxiliary verb (to be) + subject + “going to have” + past participle?

    Extra information:
    In oral speech or informal writing, the contracted form is preferred. However, this form can only be used when the
    subject is a personal pronoun
    She will work in a hotel / She'll work in a hotel

    Examples:
    She will watch a film
    She wont watch a film
    Will she watch a film?
    Present continuous

    Use:
    The present continuous is used to talk about something that is happening at the moment we speak.
    Structure:

    + subject/ to be / verb “ing”


    - Subject + verb (to be) + not + verbo “ing”
    ? Auxiliary verb (to be) + subject + verb “ing”
    Extra information:

    We use the present continuous to talk about something that is already decided to be done in the near future

    Examples:

    I’m studying now


    I’m not studying now
    Am I studying now ?
    Present perfect
    Use:
    The present perfect is used to refer to actions that started in the past and continue in the present.
    Structure:

    + subject/ “have or has”/ verb past participle


    - subject/ “have or has”+ not/ verb past participle
    ? Have/has/ subject / verb past participle
    Extra information:

    Although it is called present perfect, it is not a time of the present but of the past.

    Examples:

    - She has been to Cuba


    - she hasn’t been to Cuba
    - Has she been to Cuba ?
    Modal verbs
    Use:
    We use modals of certainty to make deductions or assumptions
    Structure:

    Subject + must+ infinitive


    Subject+ cant+ infinitive
    Subject+ may/might+not+ infinitive

    Extra information:
    We will choose the modal (must, can not, may, might and could) depending on the degree of certainty we have on what
    we are saying.

    Examples:

    He must know how to cook


    That computer can´t belong to laura
    Laura go out so might be not be here
    Comparative adjectives

    Use: to describe the differences.


    Structure:

    short adjectives: add "-er"


    long adjectives: use "more"

    Extra information:
    The following adjectives have irregular forms:

    good - better
    well (healthy) - better
    bad - worse
    far - farther/further

    Examples:

    His computer is more bigger than mine


    I want to have a more powerful wifi
    Superlative adjectives

    Use: A superlative adjective is used to compare three or more objects


    Structure:
    For a one-syllable word simply add the suffix –est to the word. Often times it is necessary to double the final
    consonant.
    If the one syllable word ends with an “e” you only need to add an -st.

    Extra information:
    There are some adjectives that have irregular forms meaning that the superlative can’t be formed by adding -est or by
    using the words most
    Example:
    Good–the best

    Examples:
    Long-longest
    Big – Biggest
    Some and any
    Use: They are used to determine what part or what amount of something we are talking about.
    Structure:
    A/any + singular contable nouns
    Some/any + plural contable nouns
    Some is generally used in positive sentences.
    Any is generally used in negative sentences.

    Extra information:
    You can also use SOME and ANY in a sentence without a noun if the meaning of the sentence is clear.
    Examples:

    There is some juice in the fridge


    Is there some juice in the fridge ?
    Countable and uncountable nouns
    Use:
    Countable nouns are those elements that can be counted one by one using numbers.
    The uncountable nouns are those elements that we can not count using numbers
    The countable names have a singular and plural form. When we refer to the countable names in the singular, these can
    be preceded by the indeterminate article a / an.

    The countless names only have a singular form, usually they do not carry articles but sometimes they can be
    accompanied by some / any.
    Extra information:
    If we want to express a specific quantity of a countless element we will add a group of words that divide the whole into
    parts that can be counted followed by the preposition of:

    Examples:
    Countables nouns
    A pair of glases
    A pair of shoes
    Uncontable nouns
    Two cups of tea
    Three grams of sugar
    Demonstrative adjectives
    Use: They are used to show the relative distance between the speaker and the noun.
    Structure:
    We use this (singular) and these (plural) to refer to something that is here / near.
    We use that (singular) and those (plural) to refer to something that is there / far.
    Extra information:
    Demonstrative Adjectives and Demonstrative Pronouns use the same words.

    Examples:

    There is a computer
    This is my computer
