future perfect and continuous #1 (permalink) Wed Jan 21, 2009 18:29 pm   future perfect and continuous
 

I have a problem because I donīt know when in a sentence I have to put continuous or perfect.
for example
Why are you turning on the TV? I think I_______________ a cheese sandwich.(have).
Did you get the bread? oh no! Sorry, I forgot. I ____________________ it now (go)
Have you seen John recently? No, but I____________ him at 7p.m(meet).
Where is EVA?OH, she _________________ she always is! (be)

future perfect and continuous #2 (permalink) Thu Jan 22, 2009 14:28 pm   future perfect and continuous
 

I am not sure of the first and the fourth but let me answer the second and the third.

2) Did you get the bread? oh no! Sorry, I forgot. I am going to get it now. or I am getting it now.
EXPLANATION: Inside the sentence you showed the timing "now" which is used in present continuous sentences.

3) Have you seen John recently? No, but I met him at 7 p.m.
EXPLANATION: There is a specific time stated so we use the simple past of meet which is met.

I hope this helps. :)
