9.1 The simple present and present progressive tenses (1)9.1 С Stative and dynamic verbs [> LEG 9.3, App зв]We call a few verbs like love stative because they refer to 'states'. A state has no beginningand no end. We don't 'control' it, so we don't normally use stative verbs in progressive tenses:She loves her baby more than anything. (Not *is loving*)Most verbs in English are dynamic. We can use them in two ways:- in the simple present tense to describe habits, etc. [> 9.1 В]: I often make cakes.- in the present progressive to describe deliberate actions in progress [> 9.2B]:I 'm making a cake.We can describe three classes of verbs:a Dynamic verbs which have simple or progressive forms (most verbs in English):I often listen to records, (simple present tense)I'm listening to a record, (present progressive tense)b Verbs which are always stative:This coat belongs to you. (simple present tense) (Not *is belonging*)с Verbs that have stative or dynamic uses:I'm weighing myself, (a deliberate action: present progressive tense)I weigh 65 kilos, (a state) (Not *I'm weighing 65 kilos. *)There are five groups of stative verbs referring to: a feelings (like, love, etc.);b thinking/believing (think, understand, etc.) с wants (want, prefer, etc.)d perception (hear, see, etc. [> 11.2B]) e being/having/owning (appear, seem, belong, etc. [> 10.4])Write:Tick the sentences that are right. Cross out the verbs that are wrong and correct them.1a You're never ill. I envy you.1b You're never ill. I'm envying you.2a I understand English well.2b I'm understanding English well.3a You're knowing what I mean.3b You know what I mean.4a Is he seeming unfriendly?4b Does he seem unfriendly?5a I prefer fish to meat.5b I'm preferring fish to meat.6a Do you see that bird over there?6b Are you seeing John tomorrow?7a Why is he smelling his coffee?7b Something smells strange.8a She's weighing herself again.8b She weighs 75.5 kilos.9.1 D ContextWrite:Put in the simple present or the present progressive tenses.CHOMP CHAMP!\you sit) comfortably? Good! 1 2 (hope) you 3 (study)this text carefully because I i (have)news for you. TheGuinness Book of Records 5 (not include)records for eating any more. Peoplewho 6 (try)to swallow 47 hard boiled eggs in half a minute will have to do it forpleasure and not to get into the record book. 'We 7 (regard)these records asunhealthy,' said the book's editor, Mr Donald McFarlan. However, one record-holder will remain. He isMichel Lotito of Grenoble ('Monsieur Mangetout'). Since 1966, he has chomped his way through 10bicycles, 7 TV sets and a light aircraft. He's likely to remain world champ, unless you s (want)to challenge him, of course!123
9 Verbs, verb tenses, imperatives9.2 The simple present and present progressive tenses (2)9.2A Spelling: how to add '-ing' to a verb: 'wait/waiting' [> LEG Э.Ю]Study:01 We add -ing to most verbs, without changing the base form: wait/waiting:Wait for me. -* I am waiting for you.2 If a verb ends in -e, omit the -e and add -ing: use/using:Use a broom. -* I am using a broom.3 A single vowel followed by a single consonant doubles the final consonant: sit/sitting:Sit down. -» I am sitting down. [> compare 6.5A]4 We double the last consonant of two-syllable verbs when the second syllable is stressed:bégin/béginning. Compare the unstressed final syllable: 'differ/'differing:Begin work. -* I am beginning work.5 -ic changes to -ick: picnic/picnicking; -ie changes to -y. lie/lying:Lie down. -» I am lying down.Write:Add -ing to the verbs in these sentences.1 I'm the beds, (make)2 I'm a sandwich, (eat)3 I'm a letter, (write)4 I'm always things, (forget)5 I'm on my coat, (put)6 I'm abroad, (travel)7 I'm the 9.04. (catch)8 I'm of thirst, (die)9 I'm your case, (carry)9.2B Uses of the present progressive tense: 'I am working/he is working'[> LEG 9.11]Study:[**]There are four basic uses of the present progressive tense. We use it for:1 Actions in progress at the moment of speaking: He's working at the moment.2 Temporary situations/actions, not necessarily in progress at the moment of speaking:My daughter is studying English at Durham University.3 Planned actions (+ future adverbial reference): We're spending next winter in Australia. [> 9.9A]4 Repeated actions with adverbs like always, forever. She's always helping people.Write:124a Use the present progressive in the sentences below,b Number the sentences 1, 2, 3 or 4 to show uses of the present progressive.1 Don't rush me. ..1..
