What does the Tenses talk about in English Language

English

Valentin [98]3 years ago

Answer:

All the tenses in English talk about time.

Explanation:

In the simple present, you talk about daily routines, facts or habits.                 e.g. Laura plays basketball once a week.

In the present continuous, you talk about activities happening at the moment or future plans.                                                                                              e.g. Kelly is studying for a test now/Kelly is working next week.

In the past simple, you talk about punctual and finished actions in the past.                                                                                                                  e.g. Juan read a great book last week.

In the present perfect, you talk about actions that started in the past but they have a continuity until the present or indefinite actions.                                  e.g. I have visited Miami three times before.

In the past continuous, you talk about a past action that had a conitnuity for a certain time in the past.                                                                                 e.g. I was washing the dishes last night.

In the future (WILL/GOING TO), you talk about future short-term or long-term plans.                                                                                                             e.g. The world will end in 50 years/Ana is going to have breakfast with her mother next Monday.

As you can see, all tenses in English make reference to times in the past, present or future and what you have to do is just to practice them and know how to use them correcly.

Which theme from Macbeth do these lines support?
Deffense [45]
The correct answer here is C. The lines 'If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature?' most likely refer to the theme that things are not always what they seem. This is illustrated by the fact that the character is negating the fact that something is good through referring to events that have unsettled them.

Make a sentance out of all these
Rama09 [41]

A simple sentence is the most basic sentence that we have in English. It has just one independent clause, which means only one subject and one predicate. A simple sentence is also the shortest possible sentence; it can have as little as two words!

Overall, a simple sentence is exactly what it sounds like—simple!

 

2. Examples

A simple sentence can be very short, but some are long too, so long as they only have one subject-verb combination. Here, the subjects are orange and the verbs are green.

I even .

I ate dinner.

I ate dinner with my brother and sister.

Last night, I ate dinner at a restaurant with my brother and sister.

As you can see, even though some of these sentences are long, each only has one subject and one verb (one clause).

A declarative sentence is a sentence that makes a statement – in other words, it declares something. This kind of sentence is used to share information – for instance, stating your point of view or a fact. Of the four kinds of sentences (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory), it is by far the most common.

Think about your communication in daily life. Most of our communication is to give other people information. We tell people what we want, we give them answers to questions, we share ideas we have, tell people our opinions… in short, we are making declarations about the world as we see it. This kind of communication is what declarative sentences are for.

Do we only communicate to make declarations? No, of course not – we also ask questions, have emotional outbursts, and say things with a lot of emotion behind them. This type of communication is done with interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory sentences. But most of the time, people communicate by simply stating what is on their mind.

 

2. Examples of Declarative Sentences

Example 1

Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. – Dorothy, in The Wizard of Oz

Dorothy speaks this declarative sentence to her dog after they arrive in Oz. She is informing Toto what she believes. (Whether or not Toto understands Dorothy is debatable.)

Proper noun- I can say, “Please walk the dog.” or “Please walk Buddy.” Note that “Please walk Buddy” doesn’t have a “the” in the sentence since I’ve already identified the specific dog that needs walking. One exception is when you’re referring to a kingdom or a republic. So you would say the United Kingdom, even though the United Kingdom is a proper noun and the name of a specific country.
