1- THÌ HIỆN TẠI ÐƠN:Thì hiện tại đơn giản diễn tả hành động có thật trong quá khứ, hiện tại, và tương lai. Thì hiện tại đơn giản cũng diễn tả thói quen và hoạt động hàng ngày.

CHỦ TỪ + ÐỘNG TỪ (động từ ở thì hiện tại, động từ thêm "S" hay "ES" nếu chủ từ là ngôi 3 số ít: She, he, it, Mary, John)
VD:
They always try to help him.

We study every day.

The game starts in ten minutes.

My class finishes next month.

Thì hiện tại đơn giản có thể diễn tả thời gian trong tương lai khi ý nghĩ đó thuộc về thời khóa biểu.
Cụm từ và từ ngữ chỉ thời gian: Always, usually, often, sometimes etc., (a fact, habit, or repeated action), every time, as a rule, every day (every other day), once (a month), once in a while

Cụm và từ ngữ chỉ thời gian: Right now, at the moment, at present, now, shhh!, listen!, look!, this semester.

SIMPLE PRESENT

Tóm tắt:

Present simple để chỉ:

1) Sự việc xảy ra trong hiện tại

2) Những sự thật hiển nhiên, sự việc lập đi lập lại hằng ngày: Thí dụ: Trái đất quay xung quanh mặt trời.
Hằng ngày tôi thức dậy lúc 7 giờ sáng

3) Những động từ không ảnh hưởng đến thời gian: động từ tĩnh (static verbs)

To belong to, to cost, to know, to believe, to like,
to love, to mean, to see, to understand ...
I (dis)like / love / hate / want that girl
I believe / suppose / think you’re right

THÌ HIỆN TẠI HOÀN THÀNH
CHỦ TỪ + HAVE/ HAS + QUÁ KHỨ PHÂN TỪ (PAST PARTICIPLE)

Thì hiện tại hoàn thành diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra hoặc chưa bao giờ xảy ra ở 1 thời gian không xác định trong quá khứ.

Thì hiện tại hoàn thành cũng diễn tả sự lập đi lập lại của 1 hành động trong quá khứ.

Thì hiện tại hoàn thành cũng được dùng với i since và for.

Since + thời gian bắt đầu (1995, I was young, this morning etc.) Khi người nói dùng since, người nghe phải tính thời gian là bao lâu.

For + khoảng thời gian (từ lúc đầu tới bây giờ) Khi người nói dùng for, người nói phải tính thời gian là bao lâu.

CHỦ TỪ + HAVE/HAS + BEEN + ÐỘNG TỪ THÊM -ING

3- QUÁ KHỨ/QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN

THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ÐƠN
Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ với thời gian xác định.

CHỦ TỪ + ÐỘNG TỪ QUÁ KHỨ

When + thì quá khứ đơn (simple past)

When + hành động thứ nhất
I went to the library last night.

She came to the U.S. five years ago.

He met me in 1999.

When they saw the accident, they called the police.
Cụm và từ ngữ chỉ thời gian: last night, last year, last time, etc., ago, in 1999, today, yesterday, then = at that time, in the 1800's, in the 19th century, when, and for

Today đôi khi được dùng ở thì hiện tại tiếp diễn và tương lai đơn. For đôi khi được dùng ở thì hiện tại hoàn thành (present perfect).

THÌ QUÁ KHỨ TIẾP DIỄN

In (a), 2 hành động đã xảy ra cùng lúc. Nhưng hành động thứ nhất đã xảy ra sớm hơn và đã đang tiếp tục xảy ra thì hành động thứ hai xảy ra.

Jean spent her first few years in Hooper and her family moved to Otsego early in her life. She was only ten when her father died unexpectedly, leaving her mother to raise and support their family alone. Her mother soon went to work outside the home to provide for the family, and Jean, being one of the oldest, had to help care for her younger siblings. Although she had much responsibility at home, Jean thoroughly enjoyed school and was an excellent student. She went on to graduate 10th in her class at Otsego High School in 1953.
While still in high school, Jean met a young man named Charles "Chuck" Holly, at a dance in Alamo; and they were quite taken with each other. Over the next few years, their love for each other blossomed and they were married on February 24, 1953, while Jean was still in school. At the time, Chuck was serving his country in the military, and had come home on leave to marry his sweetheart. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, he was sent overseas to serve in Korea for the next fifteen months.
Upon his discharge, the couple settled into married life together in the Plainwell, Otsego area. To help make ends meet, Jean went to work at the collection bureau in Kalamazoo for a while, before taking a job at the cheese company in Otsego. In 1964, Chuck and Jean were overjoyed with the birth of their son, Chuck, who brought great joy into their lives. Jean remembered how her mother was always gone so much working after her father died and she did not want that for her son, so she left her job to devote herself to the role of a mother.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Every family has its quirks. Mine is no different. I was born in an Italian- American family in 1973. We follow the classic stereotype. My father works and my mother stays home with the kids. There are certain things that we remember from our childhood: phrases, jokes, movies. But one piece of advice that sticks with me from an early age comes from my mother.
"Don't finish your food or you will never get married." It was an illogical jump from the idea that a "lady" is not a glutton and therefore will not finish the food on her plate or take the last cookie off of the platter. A "lady" especially a young lady must never appear hungry. If she did, she would not be an ideal candidate for a wife.
To this day, I do not finish what is on my plate and I will never eat the last of anything.
It is not a conscience thing. When 1 think about it, 1 make a point to finish the food on my plate, there is still some teenage rebellion against mom in this thirty-four year-old body, but the thought of not finishing is so ingrained that I rarely think about it.
When my husband and I are at dinner, he will gesture to something on the table and say, "Finish your food" and 1 will respond, "I can't, I'll never get married." That always makes him laugh and say, "So what have these last six years been?" But for me it is something special that I will carry around with me - something that is my family. My brother remembers the phrase and he admits that in his dating days he did watch to see if any of the girls would take the last piece of pie or pizza. I think he fell in love with his fiancé because she would eat whatever she wanted to and do not worry about anyone judging her for it. As I embark on starting my own family, I wonder what I will tell my daughter. Will I encourage her to finish every last piece? Or will I continue to the legacy of my mother and tell her not eat the last piece lest she not get married? Will she one day laugh to her girlfriends about her mother leaving one granola bar, one piece of cheese, or one rice cake alone in their bags?
36. The writer's mother never let her eat the last piece of food on her plate.
a. True b. False c. No information
37. All the mothers in the world never let t4eir daughter eat the last piece of food on their plate.

38. The writer often eats up all she has on her Plate and up to now she is still single.

39. The writer does not believe in what her mother has said but she considers her mother's words something special.

40. The writer has two sons.
a. True b. False c. No information

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
I was born to dance. I've been dancing all my life, ever since my mother, who gave up a dancing career on the stage when she married my father, picked me up and twirled me around as an infant. As much as I loved dancing with her, her greatest gift to me was her "unconditional love" during her lifetime.
My parents divorced after only 5 years of marriage, but my father remarried a lovely lady who also loved to dance. They used to take me to a dancing club where I would listen to the music and watch them dance-occasionally my stepmother, Mary, invited me to dance.
I also met my wife, Charlotte, in a dancing party. I danced with her for about 15 minutes, and during that brief span, I realized that I fell in love with her. We kept dancing throughout our marriage. My earliest memories of dancing with my daughters started when I came home from work to our small home in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and my daughter Laura was about 3 years old. It was very relaxing for me. to turn on the record player, pick up Laura in my arms, and dance her around the room!
Our family danced a lot. My daughters, Laura and Anne, and I continued to dance on every occasion. One favorite memory I have of dancing with Laura and Anne was when I took each of them when they were seniors in high school to the Daddy-Daughter dance. We won both dance competitions!
As their father, I have tried to provide my daughters with unconditional love, as my Mother provided to me, endless emotional and loving support, and good educations and life experiences which have helped prepare them for happy and successful adult lives. Being a father who is worthy of their love and respect, I consider fatherhood a privilege, not an entitlement.
In 1994, my oldest daughter Laura gave me a lovely book, which I still have, entitled "Fathers and Daughters." My Father's Day suggestion to every father is to dance with your daughters at every opportunity. It will not only bring you closer, it will give them memories of you “to hang onto" long after we are gone.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.
