Uses of the Simple Present Tense

Hi there!

As it is necessary to know the sentence structure of a tense in order to make sentences, it is equally important to know the uses of a tense in order to use it correctly. Today, we will learn the uses of the Simple Present Tense.


We use the Simple Present Tense:



1. For universal or general truths:

--- The sun rises in the east.

--- The good always prevails over the evil.



2. For habitual action (habits):

--- I get up at 5 o'clock in the morning everyday.



3. In clauses of time and condition:

--- If you come early, we will go to watch a film. (if you come - clause of condition)

--- I will cook food, when you come. (when you come - clause of time)



4. For a future action that is part of a fixed time-table or programme.

--- The train leaves in the morning tomorrow. (future event, part of a fixed time-table)

--- The Prime Minister leaves for the USA tonight. (future event, part of a fixed programme)



5. In exclamatory sentences starting with "here" and "there".

--- Here comes the train!

--- There he goes!




I hope this helps.

"To Be" - Present Form - Interrogative Sentences

"Be" has three forms in the present - am, is and are.


Do you want to learn the sentence structure of "Be"? Here it is:


Interrogative Sentence (Positive):

Be (am/is/are) + Subject + noun/adjective/prepositional phrase?


Negative Sentence:

Be (am/is/are) + Subject + not + noun/adjective/prepositional phrase?

Contracted structure: Isn't/aren't + Subject + noun/adjective/prepositional phrase?



What is a prepositional phrase - A prepositional phrase is a phrase with a preposition in it.



Subject pronouns: I, we, you, he, she, it and they.


Question/Interrogative/"Wh" words can be used in the beginning of the interrogative sentences as per the demand of the sentence. They are: Who, whose, whom, which, what, where, when, why and how.


We can also use a question/interrogative phrase in the beginning of the interrogative sentence if they are needed in the sentence. They are: With whom, how much, how many, at what time etc.




Now, let us look at some sentence examples:


--- Are you a student? (noun)

--- Is he happy? (adjective)

--- Why is he happy? (adjective)

--- Are they in the classroom? (prepositional phrase)

--- Is the weather pleasant today? (adjective). "today" is an adverb in this sentence.

--- Is she not (isn't she) sad"? (adjective)

--- Are the vegetables not fresh? (adjective)

--- Why are the vegetables not fresh?

As you can see, you can make various kinds of sentences with the structure of "to be". Try to make some sentences on your own with these structures. Remember, practice makes a man perfect.


Please know that this structure is not a part of any tenses. This is not the Simple Present Tense/Present Indefinite Tense, as some people would like to believe or make you believe.






I hope this helps.

Word Order - Object

Hi there, Let us learn about the placement of objects in a sentence.

By the way, do you know what is an object?

An object is a word in the sentence which receives the action, in other words, the object is the receiver of the action in a sentence.


There are two types of objects: Direct object and Indirect object.

So, what is a direct or indirect object?

The object which receives the action directly is the direct object, and the one which receives the action indirectly is the indirect object.

Confused??


Okay, let me put it another way. If a verb has two objects in a sentence, the object which is a living being is the indirect object; and the non-living being is the direct object. You can remember it forever to avoid all future confusion.


So, what is the sentence structure if a verb has two objects in a sentence?

Structure 1: Subject + Verb + Indirect object + Direct object


Examples : I gave him a book. She gifted me a phone.


If you want to put the direct object first in the sentence after the verb, the sentence structure will be like this:


Structure 2: Subject + verb + Direct object + to + Indirect object.


Examples: I gave a book to him. She gifted a phone to me.


There could be sentences like this, too:

Structure 1: She got me a book.

Structure 2: She got a book for me.



I hope this helps.
