6 Minute Grammar from bbclearningenglish.com Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Grammar with me, Catherine.
2
And me, Finn.
3
Hello.
4
In this programme, we're talking about present tenses.
5
Now, let's get started.
6
The first thing we need to know is that the present simple tense is mainly for facts,
7
habits and truths.
8
Now, Catherine, give me a true fact about you.
9
A true fact about me is that I like gardening.
10
Oh wow!
11
Yeah.
12
Love it.
13
Thanks Catherine.
14
And can you tell me one of your habits?
15
I drink a cup of coffee every morning.
16
I drink one at home and I drink another one when I get to work.
17
So far, so good.
18
We make the present simple with a subject and base verb and we add S to the verb for he,
19
she and it.
20
So, I work, you work,
21
he works, she works and so on.
22
We make questions and negatives with do or does.
23
So Catherine, do you take milk in your coffee?
24
I do take milk in my coffee.
25
Finn, do you take milk in your coffee?
26
I don't.
27
I like it black.
28
And what about Mrs Finn?
29
Does she take milk in her coffee?
30
She doesn't drink coffee.
31
Oh, what does she drink?
32
Tea.
33
All the time.
34
Very British.
35
Yes.
36
So that's present simple for facts and habits.
37
Now, when we're talking about activities,
38
temporary situations and things that are happening now or around now,
39
we use am, is or are plus an ing verb to make the present continuous.
40
So, Finn, what are you doing now?
41
Now, right now, right at this minute,
42
I'm sitting in the studio on a chair talking to you.
43
But off and on, I'm also reading a novel called The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro.
44
Ooh.
45
That's great.
46
Well pronounced.
47
Thank you.
48
And are you reading anything right now, Catherine?
49
Yes, I am.
50
I'm reading a novel also.
51
It's a comedy about Adrian Mole and it's really good.
52
I'm enjoying it a lot.
53
Sounds great.
54
I'd like to borrow it.
55
You can.
56
We can also use the present continuous for future arrangements.
57
And so, Finn, what are you doing tonight?
58
Tonight I'm taking my wife to dinner.
59
Don't tell her.
60
Oh, lucky wife.
61
That's right.
62
So, present simple for facts and habits,
63
present continuous for activities and future arrangements.
64
And now for the present perfect.
65
We make it with have or has plus a past participle.
66
It connects the past to the present and it's useful for asking about life experiences.
67
So life experience question coming, Finn.
68
Have you ever eaten insects?
69
I have, yes.
70
I've eaten ants and beetles in Cambodia.
71
So in the question, the word ever means at any time in your life.
72
Never means at no time in your life.
73
So Catherine, tell us about an experience that you have never had.
74
Well, I've never eaten insects, Finn.
75
OK.
76
And I've never been on safari.
77
OK.
78
But I'm sure that our colleague Rob has been on safari.
79
He's been to many places.
80
He has.
81
Yes.
82
Other words we can use with present perfect are just, already and yet.
83
We use just already and yet a lot
84
when we're using the present perfect tense to talk about the present effect of a past event.
85
Already means something has happened, perhaps earlier than expected.
86
So, Finn, give us an example of already.
87
Right.
88
I've already had breakfast today. And coffee?
89
Have you had coffee?
90
I've just had a cup of coffee.
91
Just means recently.
92
And I haven't had lunch yet.
93
I should think not, it's only half ten.
94
It's a bit early for lunch, yeah.
95
And yet means something like not until now.
96
Good.
97
And if a past situation has continued until now,
98
use for or since to say how long it's continued, like this.
99
I've lived in London for five years.
100
I've been married since 2003.
101
And we also use the present perfect to give news,
102
things that happened a short time ago and are important now.
103
So, have you got any news for us, Catherine?
104
Yes, I have actually.
105
OK.
106
I've won the lottery!
107
I don't believe you.
108
I have.
109
That's because I'm not telling the truth.
110
It's just an example.
111
OK.
112
You're listening to OK.
113
And we're talking about present tenses.
114
And it's quiz time.
115
Question one.
116
Which of these sentences best describes a habit?
117
a I have smoked 20 cigarettes a day.
118
b I smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
119
And the answer is b I smoke 20 cigarettes a day.
120
Question two.
121
Is this sentence grammatically correct or wrong?
122
Humans have not visited the planet Mars yet,
123
but they have already been to the moon.
124
It's correct.
125
It is.
126
Now, last one.
127
Which sentence is correct?
128
a Catherine has never eaten insects.
129
b Catherine never eats insects.
130
or c Catherine is never eating insects.
131
And the answer is that both A and B are correct.
132
Aha.
133
Aha.
134
As a life experience, it's true to say
135
that I have never eaten insects and as a fact I can say I never eat insects.
136
So, that brings us to the end of the quiz and well done to you if you got them all right.
137
A free insect for everyone who got all of those right.

Dicas de Prática
Para maximizar seus resultados na prática de shadowing em inglês, siga estas dicas ao assistir ao vídeo:
- Escute atentamente a pronúncia e a entonação dos falantes. Tente imitar o ritmo e a fluidez deles enquanto fala.
- Pause o vídeo a cada frase importante para repetir em voz alta. Isso ajudará a fixar o vocabulário e as estruturas gramaticais.
- Utilize a técnica de shadow speech em partes específicas. Tente se sobrepor ao áudio original imitando o que está sendo dito, prestando atenção especial aos detalhes sonoros.
- Experimente gravar sua própria voz enquanto pratica. Isso permitirá que você identifique áreas onde pode melhorar sua pronúncia e entonação.
- Por fim, crie um ambiente propício para a prática. Escolha um lugar silencioso, onde você possa se concentrar sem distrações, e pratique regularmente. Quanto mais você se expuser à língua, melhor será seu aprendizado.
Incorporar essas dicas em sua rotina de estudos ajudará não apenas a melhorar sua compreensão do presente simples e contínuo, mas também a aprimorar sua prática de conversação em inglês de maneira geral. Experimente!
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
