...68 PLC, 346-3226 http://tlc.uoregon.edu VERB TENSE WHAT IS VERB TENSE? In English, there are many ways to express time. Words like early, late, last week, yesterday, today, tonight, tomorrow, and next year help us specifically identify a period of time; in addition to these, verbs play an important role in communicating the “when” of an idea. HOW MANY TENSES ARE THERE? English verbs have three main tenses (past, present, and future) and four forms of each of these tenses (simple, progressive, perfect, and perfect progressive). Note the patterns in the following chart for the verb “to learn” as it would appear after “I” in each of the twelve tenses: SIMPLE PROGRESSIVE be + verb+ing PAST 1 verb+ed PRESENT 2 PERFECT 2 1 have + verb+ed PERFECT PROGRESSIVE have + been + verb+ing 2 learned was learning had learned had been learning verb FUTURE 3 will + verb learn am learning have learned have been learning will learn will be learning will have learned will have been learning 1 Verb forms may be constructed differently for irregular verbs (for example, I drink/ I drank/ I have drunk two liters of water). Specific form of be and have depends on tense (past or present) and the noun or pronoun it follows (singular/plural, I, you, he/she/it, we, they). “Am going to” can be substituted for “will”; it is slightly less formal but otherwise synonymous. 2 3 WHEN DO WE USE EACH TENSE? Refer to the following...

...Subject-Verb Agreement Basic Principle: Singular subjects need singular verbs; plural subjects need plural verbs. My brother is a nutritionist. My sisters are mathematicians. See the section on Plurals for additional help with subject-verb agreement. The indefinite pronouns anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody are always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs. • Everyone has done his or her homework. • Somebody has left her purse. Some indefinite pronouns — such as all, some — are singular or plural depending on what they're referring to. (Is the thing referred to countable or not?) Be careful choosing a verb to accompany such pronouns. • Some of the beads are missing. • Some of the water is gone. On the other hand, there is one indefinite pronoun, none, that can be either singular or plural; it often doesn't matter whether you use a singular or a plural verb — unless something else in the sentence determines its number. (Writers generally think of none as meaning not any and will choose a plural verb, as in "None of the engines are working," but when something else makes us regard none as meaning not one, we want a singular verb, as in "None of the food is fresh.") • None of you claims responsibility for this incident? • None of you claim responsibility for this incident? • None of the students have done their homework. (In this last example, the word their precludes the use of the singular verb. Some indefinite pronouns are particularly...

...MODAL VERBS IN COMMUNICATION There is no communication among people without expressing their attitudes to what they say and to one another. It means that we cannot manage without modals in everyday life. But those who speak English as a foreign language may have great difficulty choosing the correct modal verb to express exactly what they want to. These are the most common situations in which modals are helpful: 1. Asking for permission: Can I ask you a question, please? (informal) Could I (possibly) ask you a question, please? (more polite) Can’t / Couldn’t I ask you a question? (if you want to put extra pressure on someone to give a positive answer) I wonder if I could ask you a question. (very polite) May I ask you a question, please? (formal) Might I ask you a question, please? (very formal) 2. Giving / Refusing permission: You can park your car here. (informal) You may park your car in this area. (formal – usually written) You can’t / mustn’t park your car here (informal, prohibition) You may not park your car here (formal – usually written) You needn’t do it. (permission not to do) 3. Making requests / instructions / orders: Can you explain this to me? (informal) Could / Would you explain this to me? (more polite) Will you explain this to me? (polite instruction) You must explain this to me. (very strict) Can I have some water? (informal) Could I have some water? (polite) May I have some water? (formal) Might I have some water? (very formal) ...

Different Uses of Semi-Modal Verb GET 14 Conclusions 19 Bibliography 20 Introduction Human language is truly unique as it allows us to talk about things beyond here and now. The way we do so is through the Tense, Aspect and Modality systems of natural language. Modality is what this paper is about. Roughly speaking, modality allows us to talk about events that may not have happened, but are desired or required. Modality is completely autonomous unit, and it affects our language usage in many ways. Tense and Modality are undeniably interconnected: what used to be a possibility a month ago may not be one today. Tense and Aspect are likewise related: a punctual event that took place yesterday may not hold at present, but an event (or state) that is more durative may still hold. The primary function of modal verbs is to enable us to talk about possibilities and necessities. We can talk about the ways the world should be, were there peace on Earth, how it might have been, would Christopher Columbus not have landed in America, etc... This ability to go beyond...
