A Story in Present Continuous Tense

John is a college student who is currently studying for his final exams. He is sitting at his desk, surrounded by books and notes. He is feeling a bit stressed out because he has a lot of material to cover, but he is determined to do well on his exams.
As he is studying, he hears a loud noise coming from outside. He looks out the window and sees that his neighbor is mowing his lawn. The noise is distracting, so John decides to put on some headphones to block it out.
He is reading through his notes when he realizes that he forgot to eat lunch. He gets up from his desk and goes to the kitchen, where he is making himself a sandwich. While he is eating, he is watching a video on his phone about how to improve his study habits.

The present continuous tense, also known as the present progressive tense, is a verb tense that is used to describe an action that is happening right now, at the present moment. It is also used to describe an action that is in progress, ongoing or unfinished.

Examples:

After he finishes his lunch, he goes back to his desk and continues studying. He is taking frequent breaks to stretch and walk around, as he doesn't want to get too tired or overwhelmed.

As the day turns into the evening, John is starting to feel more confident about his exams. He is making progress and feels like he has a good grasp of the material. He is looking forward to finishing his studying and getting a good night's sleep.

Present Perfect Tense

पूर्ण वर्तमान काल एक क्रिया काल है जिसका उपयोग उन क्रियाओं या घटनाओं के बारे में बात करने के लिए किया जाता है जो अतीत में अनिर्दिष्ट समय पर हुई थीं, या जो अतीत में शुरू हुईं और वर्तमान क्षण तक जारी रहीं।

The present perfect tense is a verb tense that is used to talk about actions or events that occurred at an unspecified time in the past, or that began in the past and continue up to the present moment.

The present perfect tense is formed by combining the auxiliary verb "have" (or "has" for third-person singular subjects) with the past participle of the main verb.

 For example:

I have eaten breakfast already, She has finished her work for the day, They have lived in that house for ten years, He has never traveled outside the country before, They have come, I have come, You have come, I have read this book, I have sent him a letter, I have taken his permission, You have changed a lot, Prices have risen again, You have become a father now, Our boss has called a meeting, I have got a cold, He has got a cold, He has got a fever, Our baby's teeth have started to fall out, I have fallen very much behind the time-table, I have understood this, I have found a five rupee note under the table, I have put five hundred rupees worth of petrol into the car.

There are three main forms of verbs: the base form, the past tense form, and the past participle form.

  1. Base form: This is the most basic form of a verb, also known as the infinitive form. It is used without any tense or subject agreement. For example: to eat, to sleep, to run.
  2. Past tense form: This form is used to describe an action that took place in the past. It usually involves adding "-ed" to the base form of a regular verb. For example: walked, talked, and cooked. However, some irregular verbs have their own unique past tense forms, such as went (go), ate (eat), and swam (swim).
  3. Past participle form: This form is used to create different tenses of a verb, such as the present perfect, past perfect, and passive voice. Regular verbs usually add "-ed" to the base form to create the past participle, while irregular verbs have their own unique past participle forms. For example: eaten (eat), taken (take), sung (sing).

Use context clues

Context clues are words or phrases surrounding an unfamiliar word that can help you understand its meaning. In spoken English, context clues can be particularly important because you can't rely on written text to provide additional context. Here's an example to illustrate how to use context clues in spoken English:
Let's say you're listening to a conversation between two people and you hear one of them say, "I'm really craving some sushi, but I don't want to spend too much money." You might not know what the word "craving" means, but you can use the context clues around it to figure it out. In this case, the speaker mentions wanting sushi and not wanting to spend too much money, which suggests that "craving" means really wanting something.
By paying attention to the words and phrases around an unfamiliar word, you can often infer its meaning in spoken English conversations. Other types of context clues that can help you understand the meaning of a word include tone of voice, body language, and the topic of the conversation.

Look for word roots, prefixes, and suffixes that you know


Knowing common word roots, prefixes, and suffixes can help you understand the meaning of unfamiliar words in spoken English. Here are some examples of common word parts and how they can help you decipher the meaning of new words:

  1. Prefixes: A prefix is a word part that is added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. For example, the prefix "un-" means "not," so words like "unhappy" and "unsuccessful" mean "not happy" and "not successful," respectively.
  2. Suffixes: A suffix is a word part that is added to the end of a word to change its meaning. For example, the suffix "-tion" is often used to turn a verb into a noun, as in "conversation" (from the verb "to converse").
  3. Roots: A root is the basic part of a word that carries its core meaning. For example, the root "bio-" means "life," so words like "biology" and "biography" both relate to the study or understanding of life.

By knowing these common word parts, you can often figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words in spoken English. For example, if you hear someone use the word "incompatible," you might not know what it means, but if you recognize the prefix "in-" (meaning "not") and the root "compatible" (meaning "able to exist together"), you can guess that "incompatible" means "not able to exist together."


Break up sentences into pieces


Breaking up sentences into chunks can help you understand spoken English more easily. Here are some tips for chunking sentences:

  1. Identify subject-verb pairs: A subject-verb pair is a basic building block of a sentence. Identify these pairs first, and then focus on the words and phrases that modify or expand on them.
  2. Look for punctuation: Punctuation can be a good guide for chunking sentences. Look for commas, semicolons, and other punctuation marks to identify natural breaks in the sentence.
  3. Pay attention to intonation: In spoken English, people often use changes in pitch and tone to indicate breaks in a sentence. Pay attention to these cues to help you chunk sentences.
  4. Focus on meaning: Ultimately, the goal of chunking sentences is to help you understand their meaning. Break up sentences into smaller chunks that make sense to you, and focus on understanding the meaning of each chunk before moving on to the next.

For example, let's say you hear someone say, "I went to the store to buy some groceries, but they were out of bread." You could break this sentence up into two chunks: "I went to the store to buy some groceries" and "They were out of bread." By focusing on these smaller chunks, you can more easily understand the speaker's meaning.


Look for related words and ideas in English


Looking for related words and ideas can help you understand spoken English better. Here are some tips for identifying related words and ideas:

  1. Look for synonyms: A synonym is a word that has the same or a similar meaning to another word. If you're not sure what a word means, try to think of synonyms that you do know, and see if they help you understand the meaning.
  2. Identify related concepts: Sometimes, words that seem unrelated can be connected by a broader concept or idea. For example, if you hear the words "planet," "gravity," and "orbit" in the same sentence, you might guess that the speaker is talking about space.
  3. Pay attention to context: The words and ideas around an unfamiliar word can give you clues about its meaning. Pay attention to the context of the conversation to help you understand what's being discussed.
  4. Make connections with what you already know: Try to relate new words and ideas to things you already know. This can help you remember the new information and make it easier to understand.

For example, if you hear someone say, "I'm really into fitness these days. I've been doing a lot of cardio and strength training," you might not know what "cardio" and "strength training" mean. However, if you know that "fitness" is related to exercise and physical activity, you might guess that "cardio" refers to cardiovascular exercise (like running or cycling), and "strength training" refers to exercises that build muscle (like weight lifting). By making these connections, you can better understand the speaker's meaning.



Don't define every word. Use context clues.

Look for word roots, prefixes, and suffixes that you know. Break up sentences into chunks. Look for related words and ideas.

Pronunciation

  • Understanding Phontics(Vowels) in English

Phonetics is an essential part of learning English pronunciation, and vowels play a crucial role in mastering this skill. In this article, we will discuss the basics of phonetics and focus on vowels in the English language.

Phonetics is the study of the sounds of human speech, and it is divided into two main areas: articulatory phonetics and acoustic phonetics. Articulatory phonetics is concerned with the physical production of speech sounds, while acoustic phonetics focuses on the sound waves produced by speech.

Vowels are one of the two main categories of speech sounds in English, the other being consonants. Unlike consonants, which are produced by obstructing or restricting the flow of air through the mouth, vowels are produced with an open vocal tract.

There are 12 pure vowel sounds in English, which are represented by the letters A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y and W. The pure vowel sounds are called monophthongs and are pronounced with a single vowel sound. These include:

  • /iː/ as in "beet"
  • /ɪ/ as in "bit"
  • /e/ as in "bet"
  • /æ/ as in "bat"
  • /ɑː/ as in "father"
  • /ɒ/ as in "a lot"
  • /ʌ/ as in "cut"
  • /ʊ/ as in "put"
  • /uː/ as in "boot"
  • /ə/ as in "about"
  • /ɜː/ as in "bird"
  • /ɔː/ as in "thought"
  • /eɪ/ as in "day"
  • /aɪ/ as in "buy"
  • /ɔɪ/ as in "boy"
  • /aʊ/ as in "now"
  • /oʊ/ as in "go"

Apart from these pure vowel sounds, there are also diphthongs, which are two vowel sounds pronounced together to form a single syllable. These include:

To improve your understanding of English phonetics and vowels, it is essential to practice listening and pronouncing these sounds. Listen to native English speakers and try to mimic their pronunciation. You can also use resources such as online pronunciation guides or work with a tutor who specializes in phonetics.

In conclusion, understanding phonetics and vowels is crucial to mastering English pronunciation. Practice regularly and work with resources that can help you improve your skills. With time and dedication, you can achieve your goals and become a confident speaker of the English language.


  • Undersatinng Diphthongs in English?
Diphthongs are two vowel sounds pronounced together as a single syllable. They play an essential role in the English language and are used frequently in spoken and written communication. In this article, we will discuss the basics of diphthongs in English and provide tips to help you improve your pronunciation.


There are five common diphthongs in English:

  • /eɪ/ as in "day"
  • /aɪ/ as in "buy"
  • /ɔɪ/ as in "boy"
  • /aʊ/ as in "now"
  • /oʊ/ as in "go"

Each of these diphthongs is made up of two vowel sounds that are pronounced together, creating a new sound. For example, the /eɪ/ diphthong is pronounced by starting with the sound /e/ (as in "bed") and flying towards the sound /ɪ/ (as in "bit"). Similarly, the /aʊ/ diphthong is pronounced by starting with the sound /a/ (as in "cat") and gliding towards the sound /ʊ/ (as in "put").


One of the challenges of mastering diphthongs is that they are not pronounced the same way by all English speakers. Different dialects and accents may have slightly different pronunciations, which can make it difficult to determine the "correct" way to pronounce a diphthong. However, it is important to note that there is no one "correct" pronunciation, and the goal should be to pronounce diphthongs in a way that is clear and easily understandable to others.


To improve your pronunciation of diphthongs, it is important to practice listening and speaking. Listen to native English speakers and pay attention to how they pronounce diphthongs. Try to mimic their pronunciation and record yourself speaking to compare your pronunciation to theirs. You can also use resources such as online pronunciation guides or work with a tutor who specializes in phonetics to help you improve your skills.
