English through fables

 

The Boy And The Nettle

by 


A Boy, stung by a Nettle, ran home crying, to get his mother to blow on the hurt and kiss it.

"Son," said the Boy's mother, when she had comforted him, "the next time you come near a Nettle, grasp it firmly, and it will be as soft as silk."

Whatever you do, do with all your might.

Lesson 162

 What Are Verb Tenses? 

Çfarë janë kohët e foljes? 

 

The tense of a verb tells you when a person did something or when something existed or happened. In English, there are three main tenses: the present, the past, and the future. 

Koha e një foljeje ju tregon se kur një person bëri diçka ose kur diçka ekzistoi ose ndodhi. Në gjuhën angleze, ndodhen tri kohë kryesore: e tashmja, e shkuara, dhe e ardhmja. 

 

The present – E tashmja 

 

The present tense (e.g. I am, she works, we swim, they believe) is also called the present simple or simple present. It's mainly used in the following ways: 

Koha e tashme (p.sh. I am, she works, we swim, they believe) është gjithashtu e quajtur present simple ose simple present. Është më së shumti e përdorur si në mënyrat që vijojnë:
