This site has visual explanations with words for verb tense and aspect and is very helpful to understand the most used tenses in English. I recommend this for all ESL students at any level to review.

The animated diagrams with the explanations of the verb tenses are really easy to understand to make learning the tenses so much easier!! Try it for yourself. You do not need a teacher to show you anything.

SMRT 115 - Unit 5 - 8 Review

SMRT 115 - GRAMMAR REVIEW UNITS 5 - 8

Use the exercises on the links below to practice grammar from Units 5 - 8

Unit 5 - Verb Patterns and Future Forms
Verb Patterns
Remember the two verb patterns: to ski (the infinitive) and skiing (gerunds--verb+ing) AND which one you use depends on the main verb in the sentence. There is a list that shows which verbs use the infinitive and which verbs use the geruns ( verb+ing) form.

Practice Exercises:

This website has a verb list for using infintive or gerund plus an exercise
http://www.tolearnenglish.com/exercises/exercise-english-2/exercise-english-16361.php
http://www.tolearnenglish.com/exercises/exercise-english-2/exercise-english-7616.php
http://www.esl-lounge.com/student/grammar/1g151-verb-patterns-gap-fill-exercise.php

Future Forms:

BE GOING TO for a PLAN (like travel, parties, activities) you know in your mind already. e.g. I am going to go to France next year. I am going to have a live band at my wedding.
Also use it to PREDICT the FUTURE because of WHAT you SEE NOW. e.g. You see dark clouds in the sky so you predict the future weather. It is going to rain.

WILL for SOMETHING YOU JUST THOUGHT OF (NO PLAN) We usually use this in a conversation, or when we order food at a restaurant because we usually do not plan what we will eat. We look at a menu and then decide then.The phone is ringing and your friend is busy so you say, "I will answer it." "I will have a cheeseburger with fried."
Also for OFFERS OR REQUESTS. For example, "Will you help me move this desk." or "I will help you study tonight."
Also when with I THINK (opinion) For example: I think Real Madrid will win the game. I think Justin Beiber is a bad singer.

Unit 6 - LIKE as a VERB or PREPOSITON and COMPARTIVE & SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES
LIKE as a VERB is used to say what you choose or prefer. For example, I like coffee. I don't like beer. I like watching action movies and playing video games.

LIKE as a PREPOSITION
1. Is used when we want DESCRIPTIONS OR INFORMATION ABOUT something, someone, or someplace and the verb in the sentence is usually the 'be' verb. e.g. What is your mother like? (Is she kind and loving?) What is your job like? What is your hometown like?
2. Is used to say someone, someplace or something IS SIMILAR TO ot THE SAME AS someone, someplace, or something else. e.g. You look like your father, but you act like your mother. Vancouver is a lot like Sydney, which are both by the ocean. Your dress is like mine, except it is a different colour.
3. Is used the SAME USE as FOR EXAMPLE or SUCH AS. e.g. He does not go to see movies like "Saw" or "The Ring". She buys many designer clothes like Versace, Calvin Klein or Channel.

Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

Comparative add 'er' to adjective and add 'than' used to compare two things. e.g. Jim is shorter than George. Canada is bigger than the U.S.
Superlative add 'the' + 'est' to the adjective-used to talk about one thing only. e.g. Apple is the biggest smartphone company in the world. I-phones are the best smartphones. Samsung is one of the biggest technology companies in the world. Bill Gates has the most money in the world.

Unit 7 - Present Perfect and Past Simple

Present Perfect - 'have' or 'has' + past participle of verb
Key words used with this tense are: just, already, yet, recently, lately, ever, never, for, since, AGO.

Uses:
1. Past actions or experiences--Have you ever tried sushi? I have never snowboarded. 'ever and never' OFTEN USED. Do not use time words like 'ago, yesterday, last year, in January, in 2007. etc"
2. Duration -- some started in the past and continues until now. I have worked here since 2007. She has been on a diet for three months.
3. Recent actions (close to now) There just been a robbery at the bank. Have you finished your homework yet? I have already finished it.

http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/present_perfect_statements.htm
http://www.englich-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_present_perfect.htm


Past Simple- Add 'ed' or check irregular verb list
Use: for past finished events and actions.
Comparing Past Simple with Present Perfect--when writing about people you must use past simple tense if the person is not alive, but if the person is alive you can use both. e.g. William Shakespeare wrote many plays. J.K. Rowling has written many books.

For example, 

I have traveled to many countries.

John has finished his homework.

Those students have been here for three months.

Use:

1. Experience:  Everything that you have done in the past can be expressed by using present perfect tense BUT NEVER use TIME words like 'yesterday, ago, last night, in June, in 2009'.

Quite often the words 'never and ever' are used.

For example,

Have you ever jumped out of an airplane?

I have never jumped out of an airplane.

I have painted many paintings. (You know what I did in the past--painted many paintings, but you do not when I did painted them -- no time words.)

2.  Duration:  How long?  An action or activity started in the past and continues until now.  Signal words are:  for three months,  since September

For example,

How long have you studied English?

I have studied English for five years.

I have studied English since I was 13 years old.

I have been here since September.

I have been here for three months.

3. Past Actions/Present Results:  An action in the past connects to now, so in English, it is common to use Present Perfect to express this.  Sometimes you will find signal words like 'just' or 'already'.

For example,

The window is closed. (Why?)

The teacher closed the window. (past simple)

so present perfect is:

The teacher has closed the window.  (present perfect)

I am not hungry. (Why?)

I already ate. (past simple)

I have already eaten.  (present perfect)

It is not raining. (Why?)

It stopped raining. (past simple)

I has stopped raining.  (present perfect)

His homework is finished. (Why?)

He just finished his homework. (past simple)

He has just finished his homework. (present perfect)
