Present simple whit future meaning

We use the PRESENT SIMPLE to talk about TIMETABLES, such as school schedules, TV programmes, train timetables... So, in this activity you have to use the PRESENT SIMPLE with future meaning:  

a) What time __________ (the train to Oxford/leave)? b) The film  __________at quarter to nine. (start) c) We ________ art at 11:00 d) When  __________(the documentary/finish)? e) The documentary _________ at half past nine. f) What time________  (we/have/the geography test)?

Future:´´be about to´´

We use be to + infinitive when discussing formal or official arrangements or to give formal instructions or orders and your examples illustrate these aspects very well. Further examples might be:•The Prime Minister is to make a further visit to Devon next week. •We are to receive a pay rise in line with inflation in September. •I don't mind her going to Ruth's party but she's not to be back late. •You are not to leave this house without my permission. Is that clear?

exercise

Lucy is very good at science. She study __________ medicine. Jane and Tom love travelling. They take __________a sabbatical

year to travel around the world. Your son/not go _________to university? We wear _________ a dress for the wedding.

Verbs + infinitive

In general,  to verbs relate to a goal, a projected time in the future. The verb expressing a wish or hope is followed by a clause that is reduced to an infinitive clause. [The full clause is not actually used in speech or writing.]  A specific group of verbs is complemented by an infinitve (nonfinite) clause.

Present perfect simple + just/ for/since

Present Perfect Tense - For and Since We use Present Perfect tense to talk about action which started in

the past and continues up to the present. Examples

   I have had this computer for about a year.    How long have you been at this school?    I haven't seen Julia since September.

Tip! For other uses of the Present Perfect tense, see the Present Perfect Tense - When To Use.

We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half an hour, two years. We use since with the time when the action started, for example: last year, June 8, I met you.

Reported speech

Indirect speech, unlike the direct style, do not use the quotes and need not be verbatim. In general, when indirect speech is used, the tense changes. Here you have an explanation of the changes they undergo tenses.Sometimes "that" is used in the affirmative and negative to introduce what the other person has said phrases. On the other hand, interrogative sentences can be used "if" or "whether".Note: Also consider that expressions change over time speech. Notice the change of time in the examples below, and then find a table with more explanations of the changes of time in speech.

Examples: She said he was American. He asked me if I was busy that night.

Exercise

Past tense of ´there is/there are´

Exercises

It It ______ cloudy yesterday morning.

We _____  excited about going to America.

We ________ lucky. We won the first prize.

The dogs _______  in the park.

Jason ______ a great swimmer when he was young.

They_____  at the beach last Sunda

Past continuous

Use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past. Remember this can be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.

Examples: I was watching TV when she called. When the phone rang, she was writing a letter. While we were having the picnic, it started to rain. What were you doing when the earthquake started? I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm.
