3 Word Order in English (When) (time) Who (subject) Do (verbs) What/who (direct object) Where (place) When (time) (Tomorrow)She We He I was can help smokes drink - you. a cigarette. a cup of tea at the party. - at home. tomorrow every day Most of the time, you place the time at the end of your sentence! Sometimes it can (also) go at the beginning of the sentence, mainly if you want to put extra stress on it. In questions, time always comes at the end!!! Remember, place comes before time. This is important to remember… If you forget all the rules and you’re not sure anymore, put time at the end. That is almost always correct!

12 Present Continuous

13 Present simple – Present continuous Simple  Continuous  This guy explains the difference: https://youtu.be/dToboUPXdxE

14 In short: Present Continuous (in Dutch) Je gebruikt de present continuous om: aan te geven dat iets NU aan de gang is. Signaalwoorden zijn o.a: "now, at the moment, listen..." enz. aan te geven dat je iets van plan bent. Meestal staat er bij wanneer je in de toekomst dat van plan bent. irritatie aan te geven. Meestal staat het woordje "always" in de zin om het extra duidelijk te maken. I am reading now. (nu aan de gang) They are dancing tonight. (vast plan) He is always teasing me. (irritatie)

15 Versus: Present Simple (in Dutch) Je gebruikt de simple present om: aan te geven dat iets een gewoonte is. Signaalwoorden zijn o.a: "always, never, every day" enz. aan te geven dat iets een feit is. He always drives fast. (gewoonte) The sun rises in the east. (feit)

16 Mind! If you talk about ‘ik’ in English, always write ‘I’ with a capital letter. So, no ‘i’ but ‘I’! Please, please, please, don’t write ‘wanna’ (= want to) or ‘gonna’ (= going to) or something like that. You can say it, but not write it. It is grammatically incorrect. Good luck studying!
