UNIT 2 - Use Of Present Continuous

► We use the Present Continuous with Continuous Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment.

EXAMPLES

You are learning English now.

You are not sleeping now. 

I am sitting.

  

USE 2 Longer Actions in Progress Now

►  In English, now can mean "this second," "today," "this month," "this year," "this century" and so on. Sometimes we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress.
 

I am studying to become a doctor.

I am not studying to become an engineer. 

I am not reading any newspapers right now

USE 3 Near Future 

► Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future.

EXAMPLES

I am meeting some friends after work. 

I am not going to the party tonight. 

Isn't he coming with us tonight.  

UNIT 3 - Demonstratives - This, that, these, those

What are demonstratives?

Demonstratives are words that show which person or thing is being referred to. In the sentence:

'This is my brother',

'this' is a demonstrative
The demonstratives in English are this, that, these, and those

Demonstrative pronouns vs demonstrative adjectives

A distinction must be made between demonstrative adjectives (or demonstrative determiners) and demonstrative pronouns (or independent demonstratives).
A demonstrative adjective modifies a noun:

This apple is good. I like those houses. (This modifies 'apple' and those modifies 'houses')

A demonstrative pronoun stands on its own, replacing rather than modifying a noun:

This is good. I like those. (This and those don't modify any nouns they stand alone and replace other nouns)

Use of demonstratives

Demonstratives differ according to:

• distance: near or far,
• or number: singular or plural.

Here are the main distinctions:

• This modifies or refers to singular nouns that are near to the speaker.
• That modifies or refers to singular nouns that are far from the speaker.
• These modifies or refers to plural nouns that are near to the speaker.
• Those modifies or refers to plural nouns that are far from the speaker.
