1
00:00:00,860 --> 00:00:09,410
In this grammar refresh, we'll look about using the present continuous tense talk about weather conditions

2
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:13,900
or background situations that are currently happening.

3
00:00:14,690 --> 00:00:23,360
But if you remember, the present continuous tense is going to be a version of a conjugation of the

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,740
verb to be.

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:26,960
Who is?

6
00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:33,310
Are things like that followed by your verb with an eye injury in the.

7
00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:38,000
It was very easy to use when talking about weather conditions.

8
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:39,620
Let's look at our example.

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,120
The weather is wonderful.

10
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:43,400
The sun is shining.

11
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:45,670
The birds are singing.

12
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:48,740
It isn't pouring outside.

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,490
You can see here we have three uses of this present continuous, the sun is shining.

14
00:00:55,930 --> 00:00:58,240
So currently the sun is shining.

15
00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:03,650
The birds are singing, this is one of those background situations.

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,870
And it isn't pouring outside.

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:17,500
It isn't going outside and this is is it is not the construction isn't.

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:29,860
In this Granma refresh will quickly look again at how to use these imperatives, give instructions or

19
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:30,520
commands.

20
00:01:31,540 --> 00:01:38,050
So again, for this, we're going to use the base form of our main word without a subject.

21
00:01:38,050 --> 00:01:38,290
Right.

22
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:41,500
We're not using the subject here because these are commands.

23
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:41,830
Right.

24
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,980
And when you give a command, obviously, you're saying that the person who is receiving the command,

25
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:49,780
there's no need to.

26
00:01:51,250 --> 00:01:52,300
Use the subject.

27
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:55,280
It's the best form of the main verb.

28
00:01:56,740 --> 00:02:06,520
And if we're making a negative impact, if it's a negative command, we're going to use the auxiliary

29
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,660
verb due.

30
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:08,830
And so.

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,670
The verb is to do it.

32
00:02:12,970 --> 00:02:16,650
And then the main verb without the subject.

33
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,300
But let's look at our examples, the first one.

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,900
Help me out and help me out.

35
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:27,240
No subject to help is our main verb in its best form.

36
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:31,990
So help me amend the second example sentence.

37
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:33,740
Don't be so negative.

38
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:42,680
Don't as in do not we have that auxiliary verb do although by not so you not or don't.

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,770
And then the main verb which here is the.
