Relative pronouns are pronouns that introduce relative clauses, which are clauses that describe or provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause of a sentence. In English, there are five main relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, and that. Here is a chart to help clarify their usage:

Relative Pronoun	Function	Example
Who	Refers to people, subject of the verb in the relative clause	The woman who won the race is my friend.
Whom	Refers to people, object of the verb in the relative clause	The person whom I met yesterday was very kind.
Whose	Shows possession, refers to people or things	The car whose tires were flat was towed away.
Which	Refers to things, subject or object of the verb in the relative clause	The book which I borrowed from the library was very interesting.
That	Refers to people or things, subject or object of the verb in the relative clause	The restaurant that we went to last night was very good.

Note that "whom" is becoming less common in everyday speech and writing, and is often replaced with "who" in modern English. Additionally, "that" is often used instead of "who" or "which" in informal contexts.

Peremrat lidhës janë peremra që prezantojnë fjalitë lidhëse, të cilat janë fjalitë që përshkruajnë ose ofrojnë informacion shtesë në lidhje me një emër ose pronom në fjalën kryesore të një fjale. Në anglisht, ka pesë pronomina kryesorë lidhës: kush, kujt, i cili, i cili dhe që. Këtu është një tabelë për të ndihmuar në qartësimin e tyre:

Pronomi lidhës	Funksion	Shembull
Kush	Referohet te njerëzit, subjekt i fjalës në fjalën lidhëse	Gruaja që fitoi garën është miqja ime.
Kujt	Referohet te njerëzit, objekt i fjalës në fjalën lidhëse	Personi që takova dje ishte shumë i mirë.
I cili	Tregon pronësi, referohet te njerëzit ose gjëra	Makina, e cila kishte gomat e plasaritura, u tërhoq.
I cili	Referohet te gjërat, subjekt ose objekt i fjalës në fjalën lidhëse	Libri që mora nga biblioteka ishte shumë interesant.
Që	Referohet te njerëzit ose gjëra, subjekt ose objekt i fjalës në fjalën lidhëse	Restoranti që shkuam së djeshme ishte shumë i mirë.

Vërejtje se "kujt" po bëhet më pak i zakonshëm në fjalorin e përditshëm dhe shkrimin, dhe shpesh zëvendësohet me "kush" në anglisht moderne. Gjithashtu, "që" shpesh përdoret në vend të "kush" ose "i cili" në kontekste joformale.

The story of King Midas is a tale from Greek mythology that teaches a moral lesson about the dangers of greed.

King Midas was a wealthy ruler who loved gold more than anything else in the world. One day, a satyr named Silenus, who was a friend of the god Dionysus, got lost in Midas' kingdom. Midas found Silenus and treated him kindly, and Dionysus was so grateful that he offered Midas a wish.

Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. Dionysus granted his wish, but soon Midas realized the terrible mistake he had made. Everything he touched, including food and drink, turned to gold, and he could no longer eat or drink. He soon became hungry and thirsty, and even his beloved daughter turned to gold when he touched her.

Midas begged Dionysus to take back his gift, and Dionysus agreed on the condition that Midas would learn a valuable lesson. Midas washed his hands in a nearby river to remove the curse, and he learned that gold was not the most important thing in life. He learned to value the love of his family and the simple pleasures of life, such as food, drink, and companionship.

From that day on, Midas lived a humble and content life, and he was known for his wisdom and generosity. The story of King Midas serves as a warning against the dangers of greed and the importance of valuing the things that truly matter in life.

Here's a multiple choice question exercise based on the story of King Midas:

1. What did King Midas wish for when he was given the opportunity to make a wish? a) To become the richest man in the world b) To have the ability to turn everything he touched into gold c) To become immortal and never die d) To rule the entire world

2. What was the consequence of King Midas' wish? a) Everything he touched turned to diamonds b) Everything he touched turned to gold c) Everything he touched disappeared d) Everything he touched turned to stone

3. Why did King Midas regret his wish? a) He realized that gold was not as valuable as he thought it was b) He lost his ability to touch anything c) His daughter turned to gold when he touched her d) He was unable to share his wealth with others

4. What did King Midas learn from his experience? a) That gold is the most important thing in life b) That wealth should be shared with others c) That it is important to value the love of family and simple pleasures in life d) That it is important to be selfish and greedy

Gerunds are formed by adding "-ing" to a verb. They function as nouns in a sentence and can be used as subjects, objects, or complements.

Here's a chart showing the different positions a gerund can take in a sentence:

Position	Example
Subject	"Reading is my favorite hobby."
Object	"I love reading books."
Complement	"My favorite hobby is reading."
Object of a preposition	"I'm interested in learning new things."

Examples of gerunds used in sentences:

• Swimming is great exercise.
• I enjoy reading books.
• My favorite hobby is writing.
• Running can be challenging but rewarding.

Here's an exercise to practice using gerunds in sentences:

1. I love _____ (dance) to my favorite songs.
2. _____ (hiking) is a great way to stay active.
3. She's interested in _____ (learn) a new language.
4. _____ (play) video games is a popular pastime for many people.
5. His job involves _____ (write) reports and analyzing data.

2. Hiking
3. learning
4. Playing

Pozicioni	Shembull
Subjekt	"Reading is my favorite hobby."
Objekt	"I love reading books."
Komplement	"My favorite hobby is reading."

• Më pëlqen të lexoj libra.
• Hobia ime e preferuar është shkrimi.

To make a good English sentence, there are a few things you can do:

1. Start with a clear subject: Your sentence should have a clear subject, which is the person or thing that is doing the action in the sentence.

2. Use proper grammar: This means making sure your sentences have proper verb tense, subject-verb agreement, and proper punctuation.

3. Vary your sentence structure: Mix up the length and structure of your sentences to make your writing more interesting and engaging.

4. Use appropriate vocabulary: Choose words that are appropriate for the audience and purpose of your writing. Avoid using overly complicated or technical language if it isn't necessary.

5. Revise and edit: After you've written your sentence, go back and read it over to check for errors or areas where you can improve the clarity and coherence of the sentence.

By following these steps, you can create clear, effective English sentences. Additionally, practicing your writing skills regularly can help you become more comfortable and confident in your ability to write well in English.

Here are six simple sentences in English and their Albanian translations:

English:

1. I like to eat pizza.
2. She is reading a book.
3. The cat is sleeping on the couch.
4. We went to the park yesterday.
5. He plays the guitar very well.
6. They are watching a movie.

Albanian:

1. Më pëlqen të ha pica.
2. Ajo po lexon një libër.
3. Macja po fle në divan.
4. Ne shkuam në park dje.
5. Ai luajt gitarën shumë mirë.
6. Ata po shikojnë një film.

Për të krijuar një fjalë të mirë në anglisht, ka disa gjëra që mund të bëni:

Filloni me një subjekt të qartë: Fjalia juaj duhet të ketë një subjekt të qartë, i cili është personi ose gjëja që po kryen veprimin në fjali.

Përdorni gramatikën e duhur: Kjo do të thotë të siguroheni që fjali juaj të kenë kohën e duhur të foljes, pajtimin e kryfjales edhe foljes dhe shenjat duhura te pikesimit.

Ndryshoni strukturën e fjalisë: Përzierja e gjatësisë dhe strukturës së fjalisë do të bëjë shkrimin tuaj më interesant dhe më përfshirës.

Përdorni fjalorin e duhur: Zgjidhni fjalë që janë të përshtatshme për audiencën dhe qëllimin e shkrimit tuaj. Evitoni përdorimin e gjuhës së rëndë ose teknike nëse nuk është e nevojshme.

Rishikoni dhe redaktoni: Pasi keni shkruar fjalinë tuaj, kthehuni prapa dhe lexoni për të kontrolluar gabimet ose zonat ku mund të përmirësohen qartësia dhe koherenca e fjalisë.

Duke ndjekur këto hapa, mund të krijoni fjalë të qarta dhe efektive në anglisht. Përveç kësaj, praktikimi i shkathtësive të shkrimit në mënyrë të rregullt mund t'ju ndihmojë të bëheni më të rehatshëm dhe më të sigurt në aftësinë tuaj për të shkruar mirë në anglisht.

Këtu është një tabelë që shpjegon kuptimin dhe përdorimin e peremrave te pacaktuar "some" dhe "any":

	Kuptimi	Pozitiv	Negativ	Pyetje dhe kërkesa
Some	Përcakton një sasi specifike të diçkaje ose dikujt	Unë kam disa mollë.	Unë nuk kam asnjë	A mund të më sjellësh disa?
			mollë.
	Mund të përdoret gjithashtu për ofertat ose sugjerimet	Dëshironi ndonjë ndihmë me atë?	Nuk dua asnjë.	Mund të marr një gotë ujë?
Any	Përcakton çdo sasi, shumësi ose person/e.	A keni ndonjë ide për darkë?	Unë nuk kam asnjë.	Mund të marr ndonjë libër me huazim?
	Mund të përdoret gjithashtu për pyetjet ose kërkesat.	A ka ndonjë djathë në frigorifer?	Nuk ka asnjë qumësht.	Mund të marr ndonjë sheqer?

Diferenca kryesore midis "some" dhe "any" është se "some" përcakton një sasi të caktuar, ndërsa "any" përcakton çdo sasi, shumësi ose person/e. "Some" përdoret në fjaline pozitive dhe ofertat ose sugjerimet, ndërsa "any" përdoret në fjaine negative dhe pyetje ose kërkesa.

Këtu janë disa shembuj që ndihmojnë të ilustrojnë përdorimin e tyre:

• Some:
  • Unë kam disa para në xhepin tim. (përcakton një sasi të caktuar të parave)
  • A dëshironi ndonjë ndihmë me projektin tuaj? (ofertë ose sugjerim)
• Any:
  • Unë nuk kam asnjë ujë më. (përcakton çdo sasi uji)
  • A keni ndonjë plan për fundjavën? (pyetje)

Vlen të theksohet se "some" dhe "any" mund të përdoren me emrat të numurueshëm dhe të pa numurueshëm, dhe mund të përdoren si peremra te pacaktuar.

Shpresoj që kjo ju ndihmon të kuptoni kuptimin dhe përdorimin e "some" dhe "any"! Më thoni në qoftë se keni pyetje të tjera.

"The" is a definite article in English. It is used to refer to a specific, known or previously mentioned noun.

When we use "the," we are referring to a particular item or thing, and both the speaker and listener know which item is being referred to. For example, if someone says "the book," they are referring to a specific book that has been mentioned before, or one that is clearly identifiable based on context.

Here are some examples:

• Please pass me the salt. (referring to a specific container of salt)
• Have you seen the movie we talked about? (referring to a specific movie that was previously discussed)
• I parked my car in the garage. (referring to a specific garage that is known to the speaker and listener)
• The cat is sleeping on the couch. (referring to a specific cat that is in the room)
• She is wearing the blue dress that she bought last week. (referring to a specific dress that has been mentioned before)

In contrast, "a/an" are indefinite articles that are used to refer to a non-specific or unknown noun. They are placed before a singular noun and refer to any unspecified thing or item.

It is important to note that in some cases, no article is used at all. This occurs when referring to a non-specific, general noun or plural noun. For example:

• Dogs are great pets. (referring to dogs in general)
• I need to buy vegetables at the store. (referring to vegetables in general)

Overall, "the" is used to refer to a specific, known item or thing, while "a/an" are used to refer to non-specific or unknown items or things.

Using this chart, you can demonstrate to students how to form sentences in each of these forms. For example:

Affirmative: I eat breakfast every morning.

Negative: I do not eat meat.

Interrogative: Do you eat vegetables for dinner?

To help students practice using these forms, you can provide a list of verbs and have them practice forming sentences in each form. For example:

Verb: work

Affirmative: I work at a coffee shop.

Negative: She does not work on weekends.

Interrogative: Do they work in the same office?

By starting with the simple present tense and using visual aids like charts, you can help students understand the basic structure of verb forms and build a foundation for more complex grammar concepts.

Hi Gerti! Këtu është një tabelë që mund të ndihmojë në kuptimin e përdorimit të foljes "used to" në anglisht, me shpjegime në shqip:

Përdorimi	Shpjegim	Shembuj
Used to + Infinitiv	Përshkruan veprime të rregullta në të kaluarën që nuk ndodhin më.	Unë zakonisht shikoja televizorin në darkë. (Tani nuk e bëj më.)
Used to + Infinitiv	Përshkruan gjendje, situata ose zakone të rregullta në të kaluarën që nuk ekzistojnë më.	Ne zakonisht shkonim në plazh çdo verë. (Tani nuk e bëjmë më.)
Didn't use to + Infinitiv	Përshkruan veprime që nuk ishin të zakonshme në të kaluarën, por tashmë janë të zakonshme.	Unë nuk shkruaja shumë poezi, por tani shkruaj shumë.
Used to + Infinitiv	Përshkruan veprime ose situata të caktuara në të kaluarën që nuk ndodhin më.	Unë shkova në shkollë në Tiranë për 4 vite, por tani jam në universitet në Vlorë.

Grammar explanation 

Shpjegimi gramatikor 

   When we talk about things in the past that are not true any more, we can do it in different ways. 

   Kur flasim rreth gjërave të së shkuarës të cilat nuk ekzistojnë më, ne mund të shprehemi në mënyra të ndryshme. 

 

 

 

Used to + infinitive 

Isha mësuar të + paskajore 

   We can use used to to talk about past states that are not true any more. 

   Ne mund të përdorim isha mësuar të për të folur për gjendje të së shkuarës, që nuk janë më të vërteta. 

• We used to live in New York when I was a kid. 

• There didn’t use to be a supermarket there. When did it open? 

• Did you use to have a garden? 

 

   We can also use used to to talk about past habits (repeated past actions) that don’t happen any more. 

   Gjithashtu mund të përdorim isha mësuar të për të folur për zakone të së shkuarës (veprime të përsëritura në të shkuarën), të cilat nuk ndodhin më. 

• I used to go swimming every Thursday when I was at school. 

• She used to smoke but she gave up a few years ago. 

 

used to + infinitive should not be confused with be/get used to + -ing, which has a different meaning. The difference is covered here. 

isha mësuar të + paskajore nuk duhet të ngatërrohet me jam mësuar/mësohem + -ing, e cila ka një kuptim tjetër. Ndryshimi është i mbuluar këtu. 

 

 

 

Would 

Do të 

   We can use would to talk about repeated past actions that don’t happen any more. 

   Ne mund të përdorim do të për të folur rreth veprimeve të përsëritura në të shkuarën, të cilat nuk ndodhin më. 

• Every Saturday I would go on a long bike ride. 

• My dad would read me amazing stories every night at bedtime. 

 

   Would for past habits is slightly more formal than used to. It is often used in stories. We don’t normally use the negative or question form of would for past habits. Note that we can’t usually use would to talk about past states.  

   Do të për zakonet e të shkuarës është pak më formale se isha mësuar të. Ajo shpesh përdoret në tregime. Ne nuk përdorim normalisht formën negative dhe atë pyetëse të do të për zakone në të shkuarën. Mbani mend se zakonisht nuk mund të përdorim do të për të folur për gjendje të së shkuarës.

Sigurisht, unë mund të shpjegoj se çfarë është koha e shkuar e thjeshtë në anglisht.

Koha e shkuar e thjeshtë është koha që tregon një veprim ose ngjarje që ka ndodhur në të kaluarën. Për të formuar këtë kohë, thjesht shtoni një "-ed" ose një "-d" në fund të shumicës së fojleve te rregullta në kohën e tashme te gjuhes angleze. psh: work ( punoj ) + ed = worked

= ( punova ); taste ( shijoj ) + ed = tasted ( shijova )

Për shembull, nëse dëshironi të ndërmerrni fjalët "unë bëj" dhe t'i ktheni në kohën e shkuar të thjeshtë, do të thotë "unë bëra". Nëse fjalët janë "ai shikon", koha e shkuar e thjeshtë do të jetë "ai pa".

Koha e shkuar e thjeshtë përdoret kryesisht për të treguar një veprim ose ngjarje të ndodhur në të kaluarën që nuk vazhdon më në kohën e tashme.

Hi Gert, 

Sigurisht, mund të shpjegoj se si përdoren parafjalet e kohës në gjuhën angleze "in", "at" dhe "on" me fjalë shqip.

"In" përdoret për të treguar një kohë të përgjithshme, një periudhë kohore ose një muaj të caktuar. Për shembull, "in the morning" (në mëngjes), "in May" (në maj), "in the 1980s" (në vitet 1980).

"At" përdoret për të treguar një kohë të saktë ose një pikë kohore të caktuar. Për shembull, "at 3 o'clock" (në ora 3), "at noon" (në mesditë), "at midnight" (në mesnatë), "at the moment" (në këtë moment).

"On" përdoret për të treguar një ditë të caktuar ose një datë të saktë. Për shembull, "on Monday" (të hënën), "on May 1st" (më 1 maj), "on New Year's Day" (në ditën e vitit të ri), "on my birthday" (në ditëlindjen time).

Përveç kësaj, këto parafjale mund të përdoren edhe në mënyra të ndryshme në varësi të kontekstit. Për shembull, "at Christmas" (në Krishtlindje), "on the weekend" (në fundjavë), "in the afternoon" (në pasdite), "at the beginning of the year" (në fillim të vitit).

Në përgjithësi, këto parafjale të kohës janë shumë të rëndësishme në gjuhën angleze dhe duhet t'u acarohet vëmendja e mjaftueshme për t'i përdorur ato në mënyrë të saktë në kontekstin e duhur.

Hi Gert,

Fjala "to be" në gjuhën angleze është fjala që përdoret për të shprehur praninë, ekzistencën, ose gjendjen e diçkaje ose dikujt. Për të kuptuar se si ta përdorni atë, është e rëndësishme të kuptoni format e ndryshme të fjalisë në kohë dhe në person.

Në kohën e tashme (present tense), format e mundshme janë:

• I am (unë jam)
• You are (ti je)
• He/She/It is (ai/ajo/ajo është)
• We are (ne jemi)
• You are (ju jeni)
• They are (ata/ato janë)

Për shembull, nëse dëshironi të thoni se "Unë jam shumë i/e lumtur", do të thoni "I am very happy".

Në kohën e shkuar të thjeshtë (simple past tense), format e mundshme janë:

• I was (unë isha)
• You were (ti ishe)
• He/She/It was (ai/ajo/ajo ishte)
• We were (ne ishim)
• You were (ju ishit)
• They were (ata/ato ishin)

Për shembull, nëse dëshironi të thoni se "Ai ishte shumë i/e lodhur dje", do të thoni "He was very tired yesterday".

Në kohën e ardhshme të thjeshtë (simple future tense), format e mundshme janë:

• I will be (unë do të jem)
• You will be (ti do të jesh)
• He/She/It will be (ai/ajo/ajo do të jetë)
• We will be (ne do të jemi)
• You will be (ju do të jeni)
• They will be (ata/ato do të jenë)

Për shembull, nëse dëshironi të thoni se "Ne do të jemi në plazh nesër", do të thoni "We will be at the beach tomorrow".

Së fundi, ekzistojnë edhe format e tjera të kohëve, si koha e tashme e thjeshtë (present simple), koha e shkuar e përfunduar (present perfect), etj. Por, këto janë format kryesore që mund të përdoren për të shprehur fjalinë "to be" në gjuhën angleze.

A. Sentence structure

      Struktura e fjalise.

The parts of a sentence are the subject, verb, object, complement, and adverbial. A statement begins with the subject and the verb. There are five main structures which we can use to make a simple statement.

Pjeset perberese te fjalise jane: kryefjala, folja, kundrinori, complement ( plotesori ) dhe ndajfolja apo rrethanori. Nje fjali deftore pergjithsisht fillon me  nje kryefjale dhe nje folje. Ne gjuhen angleze ka pese struktura te cilat ne mund ti perdorim per te bere nje deklarate te thjeshte.

1  Subject             Verb   
   Kryefjale    +      Folje

    

My arms           are aching
    Something        happened

2. Subject               Verb                  Object   
   Kryefjale      +     Folje        +        Kundrinor

    I                           need                 a rest
    Five people       are moving      the piano

The subject and the object can be a noun, a pronoun 

(e.g. I) or a noun phrase (eg  the piano)

Kryefjala dhe kundrinori mund te jene te shprehur me:

a) emer

b) peremer

c) grup emeror)

3. Subject                Verb                  Complement
    Kryefjale      +      Folje          +      Komplement ( mbiemer ose emer )

   This piano            is                        heavy

   It                            was                    a big problem

The complement can be an adjective (e.g. heavy) or a noun phrase (e.g. a big problem). The complement often comes after be. It can also come after appear, become, get, feel, look, seem, stay or sound.

Per ta patur te qarte se cfare eshte termi "complement", do te ishte me mire te kuptonim se ai vjen menjehere mbas nje forme te foljes 'be'; dmth mund te vije mbas foljes, am is, are, was, were, been, be, being. Ai mund te jete:

a) mbiemer

b) emer

c) grup emeror.

Gjithashtu ai mund te vije edhe mbas foljesh te tilla si: appear, become,get,feel,look,seem, stay, ose sound. Keto folje quhen ndryshe = link verbs. Per keto folje ju mund te shikoni edhe nje mesim te cilin e kemi kaluar disa ore me pare ne keto faqe.

4.  Subject                 Verb                 Adverbial    
     Kryefjale        +     Folje        +      Ndajfolje ose rrethanor

    It                             is                      on my foot.
    Their house          is                       nearby.

An adverbial can be a prepositional phrase (e.g. on my foot) or an adverb (e.g. nearby).

Me fjalen 'adveribial' mund te kuptoni edhe nje shprehje ndajfoljore me parafjale ose nje ndajfolje.

5.  Subject                  Verb                Object                      Object
     Kryefjale      +        Folje        +      Kundrinor        +        Kundrinor 

    It                             ‘s giving           me                            backache.
    David                      bought            Melanie                   a present.

We use two objects after verbs like give and  send.

Ne mund te perdorim dy kundrinore mbas foljesh te tilla si give dhe send.

B. Adverbials

     Ndajfoljoret

We can add adverbials to all the five main structures.

Ne mund t'ju shtojme ndajfoljore ( dmth ndajfolje ose rrethanore ) te pesta llojeve te fjalive te permendura si me siper.

My arms are aching terribly.                        I really need a rest.

Of course this piano is heavy .                    Fortunately their house is nearby .

Present Simple (1) (I know, I don’t know) 

 

1 We form the Present Simple like this: 

POSITIVE
Singular	I know.
	You know.
	He/she/it knows.
Plural	We know.
	You know.
	They know.

 

I know the answer. 

She starts work at 9.30. 

 

We add -s after he/she/it: 

I start→ he starts                             I live→ she lives 

 

If a verb ends in –ch ,-o ,-sh , or  -ss , we add –es after he/she/it: 

I watch→he watches	You do→he does
They go→it goes	We wash→she washes

 

If a verb ends in a consonant (b,c,d etc.) + y (e.g.study) , we use –ies after he/she/it: 

I study→he studies                          I fly→it flies

Grammar explanation 

Shpjegimi gramatikor 

   Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. They aren’t usually used in the present continuous form. 

   Foljet e gjendjes përshkuajnë një gjendje se sa një veprim. Ato zakonisht nuk përdoren në të tashmen e vazhduar. 

• I don’t know the answer. I’m not knowing the answer. 

• She really likes you. She’s really liking you. 

• He seems happy at the moment. He’s seeming happy at the moment. 

 

 

   Stative verbs often relate to: 

   Foljet e gjendjes shpesh lidhen me: 

• thoughts and opinions: agree, believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know, mean, recognise, remember, suspect, think, understand 

mendimet dhe opinionet: pranoj, besoj, dyshoj, imagjinoj, di, nënkuptoj, njoh, mbaj mend, dyshoj, mendoj, kuptoj 

 

• feelings and emotions: dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish 

ndjenjat dhe emocionet: nuk pëlqej, urreoj, pëlqej, preferoj, dëshiroj, uroj 

 

• senses and perceptions: appear, be, feel, hear, look, see, seem, smell, taste 

shqisat dhe perceptimet: shfaq, jam, ndiej, dëgjoj, vështroj, shoh, dukem, nuhas, shijoj 

 

• possession and measurement: belong, have, measure, own, possess, weigh. 

pronësi dhe matjet: përket, kam, mat, zotëroj, kam në pronësi, peshoj. 

 

 

 

 

Verbs that are sometimes stative 

Foljet që tregojnë ndonjëherë gjendje 

   A number of verbs can refer to states or actions, depending on the context. 

   Një numër foljesh mund t’i referohet gjendjeve apo veprimeve, në varësi të kontekstit. 

• I think it’s a good idea. 

• Wait a moment! I’m thinking. 

 

   The first sentence expresses an opinion. It is a mental state, so we use present simple. In the second example the speaker is actively processing thoughts about something. It is an action in progress, so we use present continuous. 

   Fjalia e parë shpreh një mendim. Ajo është një gjendje mendore, kështu që përdorim kohën e tashme. Në shembullin e dytë folësi është duke përpunuar mendimet për diçka në mënyrë aktive, kështu që përdorim kohën e tashme të vazhduar.

Give happiness a chance. 

Hello there 

Hello there friend. 

Use your time to be happy 

You are a walking marvel 

You have no equal 

You are unique, irreplaceable, 

did you know that? 

Why aren't you surprised? 

Why aren’t you glad, astonished 

About yourself 

And what about everyone else  

you know? 

Do you think that it’s so natural,  

so obvious, 

that you are alive, 

that you can go on living, 

that you are given time 

to sing and to dance, 

and to be happy? 

Why then loose your time 

In the senseless pursuit 

Of money and possessions? 

Why make a crowd of worries 

of tomorrow and the days after tomorrow? 

Why quarrel, bore yourself in empty amusements 

And then sleep when the sun shines? 

Take your time quietly 

And be happy.
