The English Verb System - GE 9 - Unit 1




The English Verb System

3 aspects refer to how the speaker sees the event or situation: simple – continuous – perfect.

 
1. The Simple Aspect

Use simple forms to talk about things that are: repeated, permanent, or completed.

Permanent = More people speak English than any other languages.

Repeated = He always recommends people use Globish.

Completed = We visited an acting class.

 

2. The Continuous Aspect

Use continuous verb forms to talk about things that are: in progress – temporary – unfinished.

In progress = A student was pretending to be an actor.

Temporary = The way people study English is changing.

Unfinished = The government has been building English immersion school.

 

3. The Perfect Aspect

Use perfect verb forms to talk about things that connect two different time periods (the past and the present, etc).

English has become the dominant language of international business.

A recent report suggested that the number of non native speakers had already reached 2 billions.
