Before you start with our lesson, answer first the pre-assessment A, and B on the ASSESSMENT
SHEETS.

Lesson #1: SIMPLE TENSE

Objectives:
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. identify the simple tenses of the verb; and
2. use correctly the simple tenses of the verb in various contexts.

Concept Notes:
Welcome to your two-month journey of studying English 7! For our first week, we have four lessons namely
Simple Tense, Perfect Tense, Direct and Reported Speeches and the last one is Analogy. Let us embark on these
lessons by knowing the different tenses in English. I know you are ready, let us start!

Tenses
There are three main verb tenses in English; simple, past, and future. These are divided into aspects; simple,
progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive.

Simple Tense
1. Simple Present Tense - use present tense to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. We form the
present tense using the base form of the verb if the subject is plural. In the third person (he, she, it), we add ‘s’ or
‘es’

 Subject Verb Rest of the sentence

I learn English online.

We draw a bird.

Plural You run fast

They arrive early

Subject Verb Rest of the sentence

He learns English online.

Singular She draws a bird.

It runs Fast.

The Spelling Rules:

● For regular verbs, just add ‘s’. e.g. talk-talks, swim- swims, eat- eats

● For verbs that end in s, ss, sh, ch, x and o, add ‘es’. e.g. fix- fixes, watch- watches, go-goes

● For verbs ending consonant –y, change the y to I and add es. e.g. fly- flies, study-studies

Five main uses:

1. Habits and Routines- used to talk about activities that happen repeatedly and things that we do regularly.
Adverb of frequency is often used with the present simple.
Examples: I get up early every day.
Emma washes her clothes twice a week.
2. Permanent Situations- describe situations that are more or less permanent.
Examples: He is married.
Che lives in San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija.
3. Facts, General Truths- the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and future
Examples: The sun rises in the east.
The Earth revolves around the Sun.
4. Schedules Events in the Near Future - We use the present simple to talk about the future when we are
discussing a timetable or a fixed plan.
Examples: School begins at 7:30 and ends at 4:00
The bus leaves every 10 minutes.
5. States (with stative Verb/ Non- Continuous Verb)- express a state rather than an action. It is related to thoughts,
emotions, relationships, senses.
Examples: She likes apples.
You look beautiful.

2. Simple Past Tense is used to talk about completed actions in a time before now. The action is finished and
completed.

How to form a simple past tense?

Subject Regular Irregular Verb To be To have To do

You danced ate were had did

Rules of Regular and Irregular Verbs

Regular Verb in English language are usually formed by –d, -ed. It is the same for all subjects, singular and
plural.
Base Form Past Simple

accept accepted

agree agreed

bake baked

talk talked

wash washed

work worked

develop developed

Irregular Verb- is a type of verb that does not follow the general rules using “-ed” at the end of the word to make
the past tense. Some irregular verbs change in spelling, some remain. See the table on the next page.

Base Form Past Simple

Be(is/are/am) Was/were

become became

blow blew

drink drank

get got

freeze froze

eat ate

put put

3. Simple Future- talks about things that will happen at a time later than now. It employs the helping verbs will or
shall with the base form of the verb. There are no inflected forms for the future in English. (Shuhada, I. (n.d)
Simple Future Tense)
Uses of Simple Future
1. Instant Decision
Example: I’m thirsty. I will buy a drink
2. Predict a Future Situation
Example: I think I will survive the crisis.
3. Conditional Sentence Type
Example: When I arrive at home, I will call you.

Lesson #2: PERFECT TENSE

Objectives:
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. distinguish the perfect tenses of the verb; and
2. use the past and past perfect tenses correctly in varied contexts.

Concept Notes:
Now, let us proceed to our lesson two. On our first lesson, we discussed the different tenses in verbs. We have
three main tenses; past, present and future. These are divided into aspects; simple, progressive, perfect, and
perfect progressive. Now, for our lesson two, we have Perfect tense. Let us start!

Perfect Tenses
There are three tenses under perfect tense. These are Present Perfect, Past Perfect and Future Perfect.

1. Present Perfect Tense - used to express an action which started in the past but which continues into the present.
We form the present perfect with have or has + the past particle.
Examples: Jana has lived in England for ten years.
You have used your computer a lot.
2. Past Perfect- used to express action which was completed before another action in the past. Also, past perfect
talks about unreal or imaginary things in the past.
We form the past perfect with had + past participle
Examples: Lloyd had eaten his breakfast before he went to school.
She had found a job as a programmer.
3. Future Perfect- used to express an action which will be completed by a specified time in the future. We use the
future perfect to talk about an action that starts before and continues to another action in the future.
We form the future perfect with will or shall + have + past participle.
Examples: By 7o’clock, I will have finished my homework.
Allan will have finished his choreography by September 5.

Here are some examples of verbs with past participle:

Aside from the three main verb tenses; past, present and future, you have already learned about the two aspects of
tenses, which are the simple tense and perfect tense. Can you explain the difference of the two?

Lesson #3: DIRECT AND REPORTED SPEECHES

Objectives:
In this lesson, you are expected to:
1. use direct and reported speech appropriately in varied contexts; and
2. transform direct speech to indirect speech and vice versa.

Concept Notes:
Now that we are done with our subject tenses, let us now use the knowledge you gained and use it to construct or
convert direct and indirect speeches. But first of all, let us first define direct and indirect speeches.
Direct vs. Indirect or Reported Speech
Direct Speech Indirect or Reported Speech

Rules of Indirect /Reported Speech
1. Words in indirect speech are not enclosed by inverted commas or quotation marks.
Examples: The son said to his mother, ‘I shall never be rude to you.’ (direct)
The son promised his mother that he would never be rude to her. (indirect)
2. The pronouns are also changed.
Pronouns of the first person are change
Examples: He said, ‘I am bored.’ (direct)
He said that he was bored. (indirect)
Pronouns of the second person are change
Examples: He said to her, ‘You are beautiful.’ (direct)
He said to her that she was beautiful. (indirect)
Pronouns of the third person do not change:
Examples: Ally said, ‘These books are theirs.’ (direct)
Ally said that those books were theirs. (indirect)
3. Tenses in reported speech change.
Simple Present Simple Past

“I always eat ice cream” she said She said that she always ate ice cream

Simple Past Past Perfect

“Ivan visited on Monday”, he said. He said Ivan had visited on Monday.

Present Perfect Past Perfect

“I have been to Spain” he told me He told me that he had been to Spain

Past Perfect Past Perfect

“I had just turned out the light,” he explained. He explained that he had just turned out the light.

You have just learned about direct and indirect speeches. Also, you have learned that tenses in reported speech
change. Now, can you differentiate the two? Do you think you can convert direct speech to indirect speech and
vice versa?

We are now on our last lesson for this week which is about analogy. Have you heard about analogy? Let us find
out about analogy!

Analogy has two pairs of words that have a relationship to each other. The relationship of the first pair of words is
equal to the relationship of the second. It is a comparison through which the ideas or things are compared to each
other. (Education Help, (2015))

Types of Analogy
1. Cause and Effect- refer to two things related with each other in terms of cause and effect. One is the cause and
the other one is the consequences of the cause.
Example: rain: flood: practice: improve
2. Antonym- refers to an opposite relationship
Example: hot: cold: : day : night ; big: small: : beautiful : ugly
3. Synonym- refers to the words that have nearly the same meaning.
Example: smart: intelligent: :sly: sneaky
4. Part to whole- is comparing a part of an object to a whole project.
Example: roof: wall: : tail: dog; tree: leaf : flower : petal
5. Object to action- based on action that would be done to the object.
Example: egg: boil: : potato: mash

Our first week is over and I hope you have learned a lot in our lessons. Now, enjoy your weekend and get ready to
learn more next week!
