FASHION HURTS

Wearing fashionable clothes can be bad for you! This may surprise you, but it is said that some clothes can cause a A of problems. Do you find this difficult to believe? Well, researchers have discovered that following the latest fashion can be unhealthy. For example, if you tie a scarf or tie too tightly it increases your blood pressure. Tight jeans and trousers, short skirts and even sensible flat shoes may all cause .Experts say that things we wear can also D to stomach problems, rashes, backache and painful feet. Yet how can we explain this? Very tight clothes can prevent people moving naturally, and this is not good for you.

Module 1 Unit 7 WORKING DAY. DAILY ROUTINE. HOBBIES.

Grammar

Present Simple Tense and Present Continuous Tense

In today's lesson we will be discussing the differences between the present simple and the present continuous. It is a common mistake for English learners to mix these two tenses up, but after this lesson you will know when to use the correct tense. Read the explanation and the examples and then complete the sentences with the correct verb.

Present Simple

The present simple is used to talk about facts or general truths:
The sun heats the atmosphere.
The heart pumps blood through the body

It also talks about habits for example, always, usually, often, sometimes, never:
We usually play soccer.
You always work.

It's also used to talk about schedules or programs:
The train leaves in an hour.

Another useful rule to consider when using the present simple is the form of the verb with the 3rd person singular:

When the verb ends in s, or a similar sound such as sh, ch or x add es:

Wat ch > watch es

Da sh > dash es

When the verb ends in o, we also add an es:

Go > go es

Do > do es

When the verb ends in y, and it is preceded by a consonant, we have to change the y to i, and then add es:

Fl y > fl ies

Stud y > stud ies

Present Continuous

The present continuous can be used to express different things, and in different circumstances:

To refer to actions that are developing at the time of speaking.

Go away, I am read ing a book! (right now)

We also use the present continuous to describe things that happen around the time we are talking.

She is study ing English. (not just now)

We can use the present continuous to refer to actions that have taken place with some frequency.

You are always work ing. (it happens frequently)

When we speak of a future action that we know will be done. In this case we must mention the time in which we will complete the action.

I am go ing to Madrid next week.

Present Simple Tense: Interrogative. Wh-questions.

In the simple present tense question forms are made using the auxiliary verb do does.

I,You, we,they have do, only the third person singular subjects have doesnt

2. Forming a yes/no question

Yes/no questions are also created using the auxiliary do. This time, the auxiliary is placed before the subject. Here are the rules:

Auxiliary Subject Example
Do I Do I sing?
Do you Do you sing?
Does he Does he sing?
Does she Does she sing?
Does it Does it sing?
Do we Do we sing?
Do they Do they sing?

Forming a WH- question

WH- questions (using words such as what, when, and where) are also created by putting the auxiliary do before the subject. Then, you add the WH- word at the beginning. Here are some examples:

Statement Yes/no question WH- question
I sing Do I sing? What do I sing?
You fight. Do you fight? Why do you fight?
He lives Does he live? Where does he live?
Exercises

1. (Where/she/live) _________________________________________________________?
