Part Number Three of using the wrong tenses. Okay, let's understand more mistakes and errors. Are you ready? Let's start. Number 17 using the simple present instead of the present perfect after since claws off time, so don't say since he came we are happy. We should say since he came we have been happy.
The verb after a sense clause of time is generally in the present perfect tense. Do not forget this point many English students, they miss this point. The verb after a since clause of time is generally in the present perfect tense A very important point. Next one using the simple present instead of present continuous, don't say look, two boys fight. Now, now this is wrong. Say look two boys are fighting this is a correct way to say we also use the present continuous for the future when something is pre arranged or expected with some certainty.
For example, Lorna is arriving tomorrow at six Tom and I are eating out tonight. A very essential and important point try to understand your mistakes please and try to correct them when you speak English when you communicate when you write something in English. All of these points are very important and many English students do not understand them. 18 sorry 19 the continuous form of the Thames misuse Don't say I'm understanding the lesson now. Say I understand the lesson now, as a role verbs, denoting a state rather than an act, have no continuous forms like understand. No, believe, like love belong, prefer can sees mean hear it, see, etc.
So keep it in mind that these verbs take no IMG and they are not continuous using the present continuous for a habitual action instead of the simple present. Don't say every morning I'm going for a walk. This is wrong. So, every morning I go for a walk we use Present Continuous for habitual action. Okay, so the correct One is, every morning I go for a walk. Use the simple present and not the present continuous to express a present habitual action.
Okay? This is it's number 21 we use the verb to use. Actually, we use the verb use for the present habitual action to. Don't say I used to get up at six every morning. This is wrong, you should say. I get up at six every morning.
Okay? Or I'm accustomed to getting up at six every morning. The verb to use doesn't express a habit in the past in the present. Use means employee for example, I use a pen to write with but used to expresses a past date or habit and it's usually refers to some old situation which no longer exists. For example, I used to see him every morning every day. My father used to play football very well.
So we use used to to express to speak about past state or habit and usually refers to some old situation. Okay? Try to understand this. Number 22 using the past continuous for a habitual action, instead of the simple past tense. So don't say last year I was walking to school every day no should say last year I walked to school every day. So we should not use past continuous okay.
Use the simple past tense to express a habit In the past and not the past continuous we don't use past continuous here. Keep it in your mind. Number 23 using a past tense instead of the past perfect don't say the train already left before I arrived now we should say the train had already left before I arrived. Use the past perfect when the time of one past action is more past than that of the other. I mean put the action which was completed first in the past perfect. And the second action in the past tense.
Don't use the present tense and the past perfect in the same sentence. It would be incorrect to say my brother says that he had not gone to the cinema last night. Okay, we was actually passed Perfect to speak about something that happened before another thing in the past. And this is a very common mistake. I think many, many, many students make this mistake. Number 24 using the past perfect instead of this simple past tense don't say I'd finished the book yesterday say, I finished the book yesterday.
Don't use the past perfect unless there is another verb in the past tense in the same sentence. Okay? Don't try to make these kinds of mistakes, try to understand them. You just need to focus and understand your mistakes that many English students make
