The main differences between the simple present tense and the present continuous tense lie in their structures and uses. Here's a breakdown of each:

Simple Present Tense:

• Structure:

  • Affirmative: Subject + base form of the verb (e.g., I eat).
  • Negative: Subject + do/does not + base form of the verb (e.g., I do not eat).
  • Interrogative: Do/does + subject + base form of the verb (e.g., Do you eat?).

• Use:

  • Describes general truths, habits, routines, and regular actions (e.g., I eat breakfast every day).
  • Expresses permanent states or facts (e.g., The sun rises in the east).
  • Represents opinions and emotions (e.g., I love chocolate).

Present Continuous Tense:

• Structure:

  • Affirmative: Subject + am/is/are + present participle (verb + -ing) (e.g., I am eating).
  • Negative: Subject + am/is/are not + present participle (e.g., I am not eating).
  • Interrogative: Am/is/are + subject + present participle (e.g., Are you eating?).

• Use:

  • Describes actions happening at the moment of speaking (e.g., I am eating lunch).
  • Indicates temporary actions or situations (e.g., He is working on a project).
  • Expresses future arrangements (e.g., They are meeting tomorrow).

Key Points of Contrast:

• Time Frame:

  • Simple present: Generally refers to habitual or timeless actions.
  • Present continuous: Describes actions occurring around the time of speaking.

• State vs. Action:

  • Simple present: Describes states, habits, and routines.
  • Present continuous: Emphasizes ongoing actions, often temporary.

• Verb Forms:

  • Simple present: Uses the base form of the verb.
  • Present continuous: Uses the present participle (verb + -ing).

• Usage in Future:

  • Simple present: Rarely used for future actions (except in schedules and timetables).
  • Present continuous: Used for future arrangements and plans.

In summary, the simple present tense is used for general facts and habits, while the present continuous tense is used for actions in progress, temporary situations, and future arrangements. Understanding the context and the nature of the action or state helps in choosing the appropriate tense.

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

Here's a chart that outlines the differences between the simple past tense and the past continuous tense:

	Simple Past Tense	Past Continuous Tense
Form	Subject + Verb + -ed	Subject + "to be" (in past tense) + Verb + -ing
Example (Positive)	I walked to the store.	I was walking to the store.
Example (Negative)	He didn't play soccer.	He wasn't playing soccer.
Example (Question)	Did you eat breakfast?	Were you eating breakfast?
Use	To describe completed actions in the past.	To describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past.
Duration	The simple past tense describes a completed action with a specific duration.	The past continuous tense describes an action that was ongoing and may not have been completed.
Interrupted Action	The simple past tense is used to describe an action that was interrupted by another action.	The past continuous tense is used to describe an action that was in progress when another action interrupted it.

The main difference between the simple past tense and the past continuous tense is that the simple past tense describes completed actions in the past, while the past continuous tense describes actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past. The simple past tense is used to describe an action that occurred at a specific point in the past, while the past continuous tense is used to describe an action that was ongoing and may not have been completed.

Another difference between the two tenses is that the past continuous tense is often used to describe interrupted actions, while the simple past tense is used to describe actions that were completed without interruption.

It's important to note that both tenses are commonly used in English, and the choice between the two depends on the context and the speaker's intention.

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.

Koha e shkuar e foljeve

Here are some examples: 

Këtu ndodhen disa shembuj: 

Has the train left? 

Have Paul and Mary seen your photos? 

Have you read that book? 

 

2. When we ask people about their lives, we often use ever (= at any time): 

Kur i pyesim njerëzit rreth jetës së tyre, shpesh përdorim ever (=ndonjëherë): 

Have you ever been to Australia? 

Have you ever eaten Japanese food? 

 

When people talk about their lives, they sometimes use never (= not at any time): 

Kur njerëzit flasin rreth jetës së tyre, ata ndonjëherë përdorin never (=kurrë): 

I’ve never learnt French. 

She has never seen an elephant. 

 

Notice the position of ever and never: 

Vini re pozicionin e ever dhe never: 

ever                                                       + PAST PARTICIPLE                                never      + PJESORE E KRYER

Have you          ever               been                 to Greece?  I have              never               been                to Africa?

 

 

3. We use yet in questions and in negative sentences. Yet means ‘before now’ or ‘up to now’. Here are some examples: 

Ne përdorim yet në pyetjet dhe fjalitë negative. Yet do të thotë ‘para të tanishmes’ ose ‘deri më tani’. Këtu ndodhen disa shembuj: 

Have you eaten your sandwiches yet? 

Maria hasn’t sung her song yet. 

Notice that we put yet at the end of the sentence. 

Vini re që vendosim yet në fund të fjalisë. 

 

4. We often use just in positive Present Perfect sentences. Just means ‘a moment ago’. Here are some examples: 

Shpesh përdorim just në fjalitë pozitive me Present Perfect. Just do të thotë ‘një moment më parë’. Këtu ndodhen disa shembuj: 

She’s just lost her watch. 

Our plane has just left! 

 

Notice that we put just before the past participle (e.g. lost, left). 

Vini re që vendosim just para pjesores së kryer (p.sh. lost, left). 

 

5. Gone and been 

Look at the difference between these two sentences: 

Shikoni diferencën midis këtyre dy fjalive: 

He’s been to Paris. (=He is now at home again.) 

He’s gone to Paris. (=He is in Paris now.) 

 

He’s been means ‘he has finished his trip’. 

He’s been do të thotë ‘ai e ka përfunduar udhëtimin e tij’. 

He’s gone means ‘he has begun his trip’. 

He’s gone do të thotë ‘ai ka filluar udhëtimin e tij’. 

.............................................................................................................................................................................. 

Practice 

1. Use the Present Perfect to make questions from the words in brackets ( ).

Nyjet jo shquese    a  ose  an             Ai eshte nje mesues. Ne kete fjali, nyja jo shquese, nje, sherben per te emertuar nje profesion ne pergjithesi. ·        I want an apple. ·        I do not care which apple you give me.

======================== Mesimi # 4 ( Pjesa e dyte ) Definite and Indefinite articles ( Part two ) Nyjet shquese dhe jo shquese ( Pjesa e dyte ) In English we use a and an only with singular nouns that we can count:  eg: ( eagle, bicycle) Ne gjuhen angleze ne perdorim nyjet jo-shquese a dhe an me emra te cilet mund te numurohen: psh: ( an eagle; a bicycle ) Do not use a and an with plural nouns. eg: ( eagles, bicycles ) Mos perdorni nyjet jo-shquese a apo an me emra ne numurin shumes. Singular Njejes This is an eagle. That is a bicycle. Plural Shumes These are eagles. Those are bicycles. Do not use a or an with nouns that we do not count ( water, sugar ) or with nouns that have only a plural form ( jeans, scissors, clothes... ). Mos perdorni nyjet jo shquese a ose an me emra te cilet nuk mund te numurohen si psh: ( jeans, clothes, scissors...) This is water. That is sugar. These are scissors. Those are clothes. We may use words like some with plural nouns, nouns we can not count or nouns that  have only a plural form. Ne mund te perdorim fjale te tilla si fjala some me emra te numurit shumes apo me emra te cilet nuk numurohen apo te cilet kane vetem formen e shumesit. I have a dog. I have some cats. I like water. I need some sugar. I have an apple. I have some cats. I have some clothes. I need some new clothes. 3. Use a before consonant sounds ( b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,y,z). Use an before  vowel sounds (a,e,i,o,u ). Perdorni nyjen jo shquese a perpara emrave te cilet fillojne me tingujt bashketingellore si: ( b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,t,v,w,y,z ). Perdorni nyjen jo-shquese  an perpara emrave te cilet fillojne me tingullin zanor: ( a,e,i,o,u ). 4. Use an before silent h. Although these words begin with the letter h, they all begin  with a vowel sound because letter h is not pronounced. Perdorni nyjen jo-shquese an perpara fjaleve te cilat fillojne me shkronjen h. Edhe pse ato fjale fillojne me bashketingelloren h, ajo shpesh here nuk shqiptohen, pra eshte e pazeshme, dhe keshtu tingulli i vertete del me zanore dhe jo me bashketingellore. psh: He is an heir to his father's estate. I will be here for an hour. An herb is a plant. Her husband is an honest man. 5. Use a before the letter u when it is proceeded by a y sound as in you. Beni kujdes me fjalet te cilat fillojne me zanoren u ne dukje, sidomos kur ajo paraprihet nga nje tingull y si tek fjala . Ne keto raste gjithmone perdorni nyjen jo shquese a. She is a university teacher.A meter is a unit of measure. The workers joined a union.I received a utility bill in the mail. The policeman is wearing a uniform. We bought a used refrigerator.

· Ndonjehere shprehja part of, mund te paraprihet nga nyja joshquese a, me kuptimin njeren pjese te..ose nje pjese te…, njera pjese e…., nje pjese e….p.sh.:

She has part of her money in her box. Ajo ka ne kutine e saj nje pjese te parave.

She has a part of her money in her box. Ajo ka ne kuti njeren pjese te parave.

Ø Ne qofte se shprehja part of, eshte ne rolin e kryefjales dhe ndiqet nga nje emer ne numrin njejes, atehere edhe folja duhet te jete ne numrin njejes dhe kur ndiqet nga nje emer ne numrin shumes, folja duhet te jete ne shumes. P.sh:

Part of his money is in the bank. Nje pjese e parave te tij eshte ne banke.

Part of her documents are there. Nje pjese e dokumentave te saj jane atje.

Ø Some, pervec kuptimit disa dhe ndonje, mund te kete gjithashtu kuptimin nje pjese, nje cike, pak. Kur kjo tregon pjese ose disa prej, atehere some ndiqet nga parafjala of. P.sh:

Ø Me peremrat deftore this dhe that nuk mund te ndertohet shprehja e llojit te pare. Most of do te thote pjesa me e madhe e …

Edhe ketu vlen te shenojme se folja vendoset ne numrin njejes, nese emri qe ndjek most of eshte ne numrin njejes dhe po keshtu, vendoset ne shumes kur emir eshte ne numrin shumes:

Most of my money is in the bank. Pjesa me e madhe e parave te mia eshte ne banke.

Most of my children are here. Pjesa me e madhe(shumica) e femijeve te mi jane ketu.

Ø Peremri all( te gjithe, i gjithe, e gjithe, te gjitha) eshte i pacaktuar dhe nuk merr pas parafjalen of, pervec rasteve kur ndiqen nga nje peremer vetor, si p.sh:

All of us are here. Te gjithe ne jemi ketu.

Ø All mund te gjendet edhe pas peremrit vetor, si psh.:

Ø Half do te thote gjysme, gjysma dhe nuk e pranon parafjalen of, me perjashtim te rasteve kur ndiqet nga nje peremer vetor, si p.sh:

Ø Folja to mean do te thote dua te them, ka kuptimin, me kuptimin, si p.sh.: This word means…, kjo fjale ka kuptimin… ose kjo fjale do te thote…etj.

2. The Wise Man

People have been coming to the wise man, complaining about the same problems every time. One day he told them a joke and everyone roared in laughter.

After a couple of minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.

When he told the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore.

The wise man smiled and said:

“You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”

Moral of the story:

The verb Can, some more exercises.

• Can you do that?
• I can’t manage to do that.
• You can leave your car in that parking space.
• You cannot smoke in here.

Notice that there are two negative forms: ‘can’t’ and ‘cannot’. These mean exactly the same thing. When we are speaking, we usually say ‘can’t’.

We use ‘can’ to talk about ‘ability’.

• I can speak French.
• I can’t drive.

We use ‘can’ to ask for and give permission. (We also use ‘may’ for this but is more formal and much less common.)

• Can I speak to you or are you too busy?
• You can use my phone.
• You can’t come in.

We use ‘can’ in offers, requests and instructions.

• Can I help?
• Can you give me a hand?
• When you finish that, you can take out the garbage.i

We use ‘can’ with ‘see’ ‘hear’ ‘feel’ ‘smell’ ‘taste’ to talk about something which is happening now . (Where you would use the present continuous with most other verbs.)

• I can smell something burning.
• Can you hear that noise?
• I can’t see anything.

We can use ‘can’t’ for deduction. The opposite of ‘can’t’ in this context is ‘must’.

• You can’t be hungry. You’ve just eaten.
• You must be hungry. You haven’t eaten anything all day.;
• He was in London one hour ago when I spoke to him. He can’t be here yet.

The Crow and The Fox Master Crow sat on a tree, Holding a cheese in his beak. Master Fox was attracted by the odour, And tried to attract him thus. "Mister Crow, good day to you. You are a handsome and good looking bird! In truth, if your song is as beautiful as your plumage, You are the Phoenix of this forest." Hearing these words the Crow felt great joy, And to demonstrate his beautiful voice, He opened his mouth wide and let drop his prey. The Fox seized it and said: "My good Sir, Know that every flatterer, Lives at the expense of those who take him seriously: This is a lesson that is worth a cheese no doubt." The Crow, embarrassed and confused, Swore, though somewhat later, that he would never be tricked thus again.

Dear students,

As your weekend is so close, please have a look at the following exercises. 

It will be good if you start learning some rules about these two present tenses.

Wish you all enjoy a very good weekend!

fm

======================

Present Simple or Continuous

 October 9, 2019  By admin  No comments 

We use the Present Simple for regular actions or events 
I watch TV most evenings. 

facts 
The sun rises in the east 

facts know about the future
The plane leaves at 5.00 in the morning

. thoughts and feelings about the time of speaking
I don’t understand.

We use the Present Continuous at the time of speaking (‘now’)

things which are true at the moment but not always
I’m looking for a new job. 

present plans for the future
I’m taking my husband to New York for his birthday. 

Look at these sentences

I’m thinking about dying my hair blonde but I don’t think my wife will be very happy about it. 

I usually don’t drink coffee but I’m having one this morning because there is nothing else. 

I often drive to work but I’m taking the train this morning because my car is in for repair. 

My parents live in New York but I’m just visiting.

Notice how in all these examples we use the present continuous to talk about events which are temporary/limited in time and the present simple to talk about events which are habits/permanent.

=======================================

Dear students,

Just a new possibility to review your knowledge received so far.

Wish you have a nice afternoon.

fm

Present Continuous

 October 9, 2019  By admin  No comments 

The present continuous is used to talk about present situations which we see as short-term or temporary. We use the present simple to talk about present situations which we see as long-term or permanent. 

In these examples, the action is taking place at the time of speaking. 

• It’s raining. 
• Who is Kate talking to on the phone? 
• Look, somebody is trying to steal that man’s wallet. 
• I’m not looking. My eyes are closed tightly. 

In these examples, the action is true at the present time but we don’t think it will be true in the long term. 

• I’m looking for a new apartment. 
• He’s thinking about leaving his job. /
• They’re considering making an appeal against the judgment. 
• Are you getting enough sleep? 

In these examples, the action is at a definite point in the future and it has already been arranged. 

• I’m meeting her at 6.30. 
• They aren’t arriving until Tuesday. –
• We are having a special dinner at a top restaurant for all the senior managers. 
• Isn’t he coming to the dinner?

Time for a quiz ?

Paf 02.06.2020

Dear students,

Read the following and then do the exercises following.

fm

We use the present simple to talk about actions we see as long term or permanent. It is a very common and very important tense. 

Here, we are talking about regular actions or events. 

• They drive to the office every day. 
• She doesn’t come here very often. 
• The news usually starts at 6.00 every evening. 
• Do you usually have bacon and eggs for breakfast?

Here, we are talking about facts. 

• We have two children. 
• Water freezes at 0° C or 32° F. 
• What does this expression mean? 
• The Thames flows through London. 

Here, we are talking about future facts, usually found in a timetable or a chart. 

• Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year. 
• The plane leaves at 5.00 tomorrow morning. 
• Ramadan doesn’t start for another 3 weeks. 
• Does the class begin at 10 or 11 this week?

Here, we are talking about our thoughts and feelings at the time of speaking. Although these feelings can be short-term, we use the present simple and not the present continuous.

• They don’t ever agree with us. 
• I think you are right. 
• She doesn’t want you to do it. 
• Do you understand what I am trying to say.

Dear Antonio and other students,

From today on you will get a few lessons coming rom an English teacher to our class as a real help and encouragement for our progress in English. Hope and wish you will like and enjoy it.

fm

All new verbs in English are regular.

• I photocopied the report.
• She faxed it to me.
• They emailed everybody about it.
• I googled my name and got more than 20 000 responses.

There are approximately 180 irregular verbs. You don’t need to learn all of them because some of these are very rare but many others are very useful and you do need to know them.
What’s the easiest way to learn them? Some people think you should learn a list ‘by heart’. Others think you should not learn them at all – you will just gradually acquire them over time.
One useful method is to note down new irregular verbs as you meet them. It is useful to write these verbs (or any vocabulary you want to learn) in sentences and learn those rather than the individual word.
Which is easier to learn?

• Swim swam swum
• I swam In the pool.

Another technique is to classify the irregular verbs into 4 categories.
1. All forms the same

• set set set
• cost cost cost

2. Similar sound groups

• beat beat beaten 
• eat ate eaten
• blow blew blown
• throw threw thrown
• drink drank drunk
• sing sang sung
• speak spoke spoken
• wake woke woken

3. The second and third forms are the same. 

• bend bent bent 
• sleep slept slept
• spend spent spent
• bring brought brought
• buy bought bought
• teach taught 8
• have had had
• pay paid paid
• say said said

4. The “unclassifiables” 

• come came come 
• do did done
• go went gone
• show showed show8

Hi everyone,

Problemet qe has nje student i cili meson gjuhen angleze mund te jene te natyrave te ndryshme. Shpesh here ato lidhen me menyren se si mund te ndertojme nje fjali te sakte. 

Ju lutem ndiqni me kujdes mesimin e meposhtem edhe nese do te  kini ndonje pyetje le ta diskutojme gjate ores sone te arthshme. 

fm

Mesimi # 1

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 .

paf.01.06.2015 Para se te lexoni materialin e meposhtem, ju lutem shikoni me kujdes materialin e dates 31 maj 2015. fm Do you know what a subject is? An object? It may surprise you, but they're quite important! The subject tells us who or what is doing the action. In the sentence "I ate an apple" the subject is I. In the sentence "Johnny kicked the ball," the subject is Johnny. Johnny does the kicking. The direct object tells us who or what the action is done to. In the "I ate an apple" example, the direct object is the apple, because it is the thing affected by the action. In "I kicked the ball," the ball is the direct object, since the ball was affected by the action. The indirect object tells us to whom or to what. It lets us know the DIRECTION of the action. Remember the example "I kicked the ball"? In that sentence, we don't know where the ball went after I kicked it. But, if I say "I kicked my brother the ball," then we know that the ball went to my brother. And my brother is the indirect object. Most sentences with giving or speaking of some kind will have an indirect object (for example, "He told me his name"). In the following sentences the subject is red, the indirect objects is bold, and the direct object is underlined. I told him a joke.  (subject = I, indirect object = him, direct object = a joke)   My father gave me a bicycle. (subject = my father, indirect object = me, direct object = a bicycle)   Susan sent Bob letters. (subject = Susan, indirect object = Bob, direct object = letters)   You loaned them money. (subject = you, indirect object = them, direct object = money)   She made us sandwiches. (subject = she, indirect object = us, direct object = sandwiches) We'll continue next time. Make sure you read more about the subject, direct object and indirect object before the next e-mail! ===================================================== paf.31.05.2016 If you didn't grow up speaking English, you may have a problem with sentence order when you speak English.  In German, for example, it's possible to move the words around in a sentence.  In English, however, about all the variety you could get out of that sentence would be to maybe move the time to the front: "Yesterday, I ate an apple" instead of "I ate an apple yesterday." That's because the order of words in an English sentence tells us what their job is in that sentence. So, a good place to start is looking at the different roles that are played in a sentence.  So next time we'll start going over the sentence parts in English. That will help you speak and write better. In the meantime, you can start preparing yourself: English Parts of a Sentence

Joke of the day...

Two drunks were in a bar partying like fools. 

They were drinking boiler makers, buying rounds like there was no tomorrow. 

They were dancing, calling each other "professor," and generally causing quite a stir. 

When asked why such a celebration, they boasted that they just finished a jigsaw puzzle & it only took them 2 months! 

"TWO MONTHS?!" cried the bartender. "That's ridiculous. It shouldn't take that long!!" 

"Oh yeah?" says one drunk. "The box said 2-4 YEARS!"

Phrasal verbs 3

(Pjesa e trete)

Word order with phrasal verbs

Rendi i fjaleve ne nje fjali me folje frazale ne te.

When a phrasal verb has an object, the object can go either before or after the adverb.

                  Verb           Object        Adverb

James      took             his hat            off.

Barbara     wrote          the number          down.

Nency     let              the dog               out

                          Verb           Adverb           Object

James                  took          off                  his hat.

      Barbara               wrote           down            the number.

                                     Nency        let      out               the dog.                  

A long object goes after the adverb.

Why don't you try on that dress in the window?

The gang have carried out a number of bank raids in the last few months.

A pronoun ( e.g. it, them) always goes before the adverb.

James felt hot in his coat, so he took it off. Not He took off it.

There have been a number of raids. The police know who carried them out.

Not The police know who carried out them.

Phrasal verbs

Dear students,

I am quite sure that you are familiar with dialogues like:

"Hello, Bill. Good to see you. Come in. Take your coat off and sit down."

Such phrases are simply known as phrasal verbs. It's of great importance that each one of you knows some of them.

I would like to introduce a few number of them and let's try to understand their meanings and use them in sentences,making them part and parcel of the everyday usage of the language.

1) Introduction

(Nje veshtrim i pergjithshem )

A phrasal verb is a verb+ adverb. eg. come in, sit down,take off. There are a lot of phrasal verbs in English.  Following you will find some adverbs which are used in phrasal verbs: about,along,around,away,back,behind,by,down,forward,in,off,on,out,over,round,through,up.

Some of these words can be prepositions.

eg. wait for; belongs to;look at; look for;look after; look into;agree with; apologize for; ask for; care about; deal with; care of; rely on; pay for;suffer from; 

2) Understanding phrasal verbs

( Te kuptuarit e foljeve frazale )

Some phrasal verbs are easy to understand. eg. James asked Endri to come in. The man in front  turned round and stared at the little boy who entered without knocking at the door.

The meanings here are clear if you know the words, come,in,turn,round.

But many phrasal verbs are idiomatic. The verb + adverb has a special meaning.

Fortunately the plan came off.(= succeeded)

Why did you turn down such an offer?(= refuse )

I can't make out it it's a man or a woman over there.( = see clearly )

Sometimes a phrasal verb has the same meaning as one-word verb.

find out = discover

go back = return

go on = continue

leave out = omit

make up = invent a story

put off = postpone

send out = distribute

throw away = discard

turn up = arrive

You should keep in mind that a phrasal verb is usually more informal than one-word verb.

Hi everyone!

Hope and wish you are enjoying the best of your time with your leaning of English.

I would like you to read and learn a few things about American history. In the following days I would like to share with you some certain easy stories.

Enjoy reading.

fm

                        Early American History

                           Introduction

Image America without big towns or cities without cars, trucks or buses  without movies, radios or T.V. Imagine America as a land full of woods and wild animals. Imagine small groups  of people living here and there-hunting , fishing, gathering seeds, growing food, and making everything  else they needed. This was the America of long, long ago. This was the land of the Indians.  About 500 years ago, new people began to come to the land of the Indians. They came on sailing ships from far across the sea.

===========================================

paf08.03.2015

               Christopher Columbus and Other Explorers

About  500  years ago , India and China were the richest countries  in the world. They were rich in gold , silk and  spices . The kings and queens of many countries had their eyes on the those riches . They sent traders to buy things from India  and China .  The traders had to cross high mountains and deserts .  Many were robbed and killed  along the way.

The kings and queens hired explorers  to look for ways  to get to India  and China  by boat.  One of these explorers was in Italian sailor named Christopher  Columbus.  He told the Queen of Spain that her traders  could  sail west across the ocean instead of going  east  across the land to get to India .  He believed  that to earth  was round and that  India was on the other side of the ocean from Spain.

The Queen decided to give him the money  for the  journey.  With the money  , he bought  three  ships the Nina , the Pinta  and the  Santa Maria  .  After thirty – six days at sea , the sailors saw land.  After they rowed ashore,  the people who lived there cane to greet  called the people Indians .  We still call those people  Indians  today.

The land Columbus found on October 12, 1492 was not India.  It was an island  off the place we now call America .  India was still very far away .  When the queen of Spain  learned that  Columbus had found a new land , she and other kings  and queens from the Old World sent  explorers to the new World in search  of gold . Balboa   and Colorado were two other explorers  sent by the queen of Spain  Neither of then found any gold.

People  eventually  became interested in the new World  as a place to live.   Explorers started looking for places  that very good for farming  and hunting .  Father Marquette  was a French explorer  who traveled down the Mississippi River .  He wanted  to find good places  for French  to come to live .  He made maps  of the long river  which were very helpful  to people who later came  to live along the Mississippi River.

        
==============================================        
paf07.03.2015

   The Early Setters

When the explorers returned home , they told exciting  stories about life in the New World .  They told people  about  the rich forests  , animals  , wild plants , and the fish in the many lakes and rivers.  They told  then how helpful and friendly  the Indians  were and how they grey  vegetables that were never seen in the Old World – such as corn , potatoes and tomatoes .

Many people in the Old World  were having  a hard time making a living.  They decided to go to the New  World to hunt or farm.  Other people   in the Old World  could not have their own church and  pray the way they wanted to.  They decided  to go to the New World , too. Some people  just wanted to get rich and went there in search of the gold that no one  else had found  .  At first , most of the settlers  came from England and Spain.  They later came from France , Holland and other countries.

==============================================

paf06.03.2015

                        The First Town

Captain John Smith and his men came from England .  They named their town Jamestown , after Kings James of England.  They hoped to find gold and an easy life , but there was no gold. There was little food  and the first winter was very hard . Smith went to the Indians for help.  They gave him food, but their chief became angry with Smith. He wanted to kill Smith , but the chiefs daughter, Pocahontas ,told her father to let  the man live.  Smith sent some men to live with the Indians so that  they could learn how to grow corn and other vegetables . The men  protested and did not  want to be farmers . Smith told them to farm or starve .  Soon  all the men were working .  The Indians showed the  settlers how to grow tobacco.  It grew  very well there .  The settlers starting selling shiploads of tobacco the people  back  in England.  The settlers needed  more workers and bought slaves from Africa to do the work.

The  planters became rich and built big houses .  They filled then with beautiful things from England and other Old World  countries. These rich settlers  started  a new government.  Instead  of having one person rule like a king  or queen , they chose a group of people to rule .  Other English people came  and set up  other towns near Jamestown.  Later on, all the towns formed  one big colony called Virginia.  A colony is a group of people  who settle  in a new land, but keep their ties with the country they came from.

Please read the following passage and do the exercises.

1 Earths Crust

Earth is round, like an orange. Oranges have a skin and Earth has a skin , too. We call thus skin Earths crust. Under the crust there is very hot rock.

Earths crust has different pieces. These pieces move very. Very slowly. Millions of  years ago, the pieces moved and made mountains. Under mountains the  crust is  thick, but under the ocean its thinner . When two pieces of the crust move and meet, there can be earthquakes. A volcano is a hole in Earths crust. When a volcano erupts, hot rock flies out from under the ground , and melted rock pours out over the ground. Volcanoes under the ocean sometimes make new islands. In 1963 , a volcano in the Atlantic Ocean made a new island called Surtsey.

There are many different rocks in Earths crust. They are millions of years old. The rocks are often different colors. In the Painted Desert in Arizona  in the USA  , you can see the different rocks.

To be or not to 

To be or not to be? That is certainly the question today.

Here are the listening exercises to help you.

http://www.englishallyear.com/listening14/menu.php

=======================================================
paf12.02.2015

In this message our focus should be on dynamic verbs vs. stative verbs.

Here is a quick reminder:

Dynamic = moving or changing. Dynamic verbs are verbs that describe an action, not a state. For example: Take, break, eat, jump, work, find, buy, dance, fish. Stative = having a state, or existing. Stative verbs are verbs that describe a state, not an action. For example: Have, love, agree, be, want, hate, know, own, cost, sound, prefer, seem, hear. Note that stative verbs usually describe: - Relationships between things or people (for example, "have") - Emotions or states of mind (for example, "love" and "agree")  - Appearance and senses (for example, "seem" and "hear") - Measurements (for example, "weigh")

Using stative verbs

Stative verbs are not usually used in the progressive tenses. Correct: I love you. Incorrect: I'm loving you. Correct: Do you agree? Incorrect: Are you agreeing? Correct: He doesn't deserve to win. Incorrect: He isn't deserving to win. Correct: She hated the winter. Incorrect: She was hating the winter. Correct: Did you hear that noise? Incorrect: Were you hearing that noise? Correct: The trip didn't include a visit to the beach. Incorrect: The trip wasn't including a visit to the beach. Correct: They will remember us. Incorrect: They will be remembering us. Correct: Will it surprise you? Incorrect: Will it be surprising you? Correct: This will probably weigh a lot. Incorrect: This will probably be weighing a lot. As you must know, words usually have more than a single meaning.  Likewise, some verbs have both stative and dynamic meanings. For example, the verb "have" is such a verb.  It has many different meanings (you can learn about them in the English Helping Verbs Course). One of these meanings is "to own." This is a stative meaning, since it describes a state, and not an actual action. Examples: "I have two cats." "You have a new laptop." "We have too many problems." Another meaning of the verb "have" is "to drink, eat, or smoke something." Examples: "They had a drink at the bar." "We have lunch every day at noon." "I will have a cigarette or two." I think you can agree with me that this meaning is fully dynamic.  Drinking, eating and smoking are definitely actions and not states. So in such a case, "have" can be used in the progressive tenses, too. Correct: We never have breakfast. (dynamic meaning) Correct: We are having lunch right now. (dynamic meaning) Correct: We have a house. (stative meaning) Incorrect: We are having a house. (stative meaning) Correct: Jenifer tastes wine for a living. (dynamic meaning) Correct: Jenifer is tasting some wine right now. (dynamic meaning) Correct: This wine tastes awful. (stative meaning) Incorrect: This wine is tasting awful. (stative meaning) Correct: I always think too much. (dynamic meaning) Correct: I am thinking about your offer. (dynamic meaning) Correct: I think you are right. (stative meaning) Incorrect: I am thinking you are right. (stative meaning) Here are some verbs with both dynamic and stative meanings: Be, have, see, smell, taste, think, expect, feel. Example sentences (stative and then dynamic): He is (has the identity of) a boy / He is being (behaving) naughty. I can see (notice with eyes) you now / I am seeing (dating) a doctor. He can't smell (notice the smell) from birth / Your puppy is always smelling (trying to get the smell of) me. This cake tastes (has a taste) great / We are just tasting (checking the taste of) the cake. They think (have opinion) this is wrong / They are thinking (considering) what to do. I don't expect (think it will happen) a raise / We were not expecting (waiting for) any guests. She feels (has a feeling) depressed / She is feeling (touching) the texture of the fabric.

Por kete ndajfolje kohe e gjejme te perdorur edhe ne kohe te tjera te gjuhes te perdorur si me poshte:

since : tenses

main clause: I have known her since...

In sentences with since ( referring to time), we normally use present perfect and past perfect tenses in the main clause.

I have known her since 1984. ( NOT I know her since ...

I haven't seen Bill since 2003.

However, present and past tenses are also occasionally found, especially in sentences about changes.

You are looking much better since your operation

She doesn't come round to see us since her marriage.

Since last Sunday I can't stop thinking about you.

Things weren't going so well since Father's illness.

Dear students of SF3-Friday,

As you have already made your choice of studying together for the coming year, I would like to thank you all and promise at the same time that the new season will never make me get tired of helping each one of you. I will help you learn something new each time we see each other.

May the coming school year bring joy to your eyes.  

May it also give time to you to study. 

Time is a very important factor. According to a research conducted, human brain is in its most active state between 5 to 8 a.m or 7 to 11 p.m. Students who study during these timings have the maximum retention power in comparison with others. 

Hope and wish you take it into consideration.

Hi everyone,

Problemet qe has nje student i cili meson gjuhen angleze mund te jene te natyrave te ndryshme. Shpesh here ato lidhen me menyren se si mund te ndertojme nje fjali te sakte. 

Ju lutem ndiqni me kujdes mesimin e meposhtem edhe nese do te  kini ndonje pyetje le ta diskutojme gjate ores sone te arthshme. 

fm

Mesimi # 9

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 .

Hi there,

Disa njohuri minimale te domosdoshme per emrat e numurueshem edhe jo te numurueshem mund ti gjeni ne leksionin e meposhtem.

fm

 Countable & Uncountable nouns 

(Emrat e numurueshem dhe emrat e panumurueshem)

Pergjithesisht emrat te cilet ne mund ti numurojme quhen emra te numurueshem.

The nouns which we can count are called countable nouns.

Emrat te cilet nuk mund ti numurojme quhen emra te panumurueshem.

The nouns we can not count are called uncountable nouns.

Emrat e panumurueshem nuk marrin nyjet a ose an. Ata gjithashtu nuk marrin formen e zakonshme te numurit shumes.

Uncountable nouns do not take the indefinite articles a or an. They do not have a plural form, either.

I. Countable nouns:

       Singular                         Plural

• a book                          books
• a cat                              cats
• one dog                         three dogs
• one hen                          four hens

II. Uncountable nouns

          Singular                                                       Plural

• water                                                         -------------
• some water                                                -------------
• a lot of water                                             -------------
• much water                                                -------------
• a little water                                             --------------

III. Dy peremra shume te gjendur te gjuhes angleze, some and any, nenkuptojne nje sasi te pacaktuar. Te dy peremrat  e pacaktuar mund te perdoren ne fjalite pyetese, por peremri some nuk perdoret ne fjalite negative.

Some and any mean an unspecified amount. Both may be used in the question form, but some is not used in the negative form.

IV. Peremerat pyetes How much dhe How many sherbejne per te ndertuar fjali pyetese per sasiore te caktuar. Nese deshirojme te shprehim  nje sasi te pacaktuar edhe emri eshte i panumurueshem atehere duhet te perdorim shprehjen'How much". Ndersa nese duhet te ndertojme nje fjali pyetese kur emeri eshte i numurueshem, dmth kur sasia perbehet nga emra te numurueshem atehere duhet te perdorim shprehjen "How many".

How much and how many  ask a question of quantity.

How much sugar would you like?

How much water do you drink?

How much butter should I buy?

How many students are there?

How many people do you know?

How many children are missing today?

Ne ushtrimin e meposhtem shkruani ne krahun e djathte te fjaleve shkronjen 'C' nese emri eshte i numurueshem edhe nese jo shkruani shkronjat: 'NC'.

Te dashur studente,

Si amatore te mesimit te gjuhes angleze, shpesh na qellon qe te ndodhemi perpara fjalesh te cilat nuk mund ti kuptojme lehte. Me shpesh akoma nese mundohemi ti kuptojme duke i perkthyer si bashkesi e caktuar fjalesh atehere edhe mund te gabojme. Keto shprehje ose njesi idiomatike gjuhesore kerkojne qe ti kuptosh duke i pare me syrin e  nje folesi autokton.

Me poshte, le te rendisin se bashku per kete jave  pune, 10 shprehjet me te perdoreshme te gjuhes angleze shoqeruar edhe me mundesine per ti kuptuar ato ne situata konkrete perdorimi.

Ju uroj te gjitheve nje fund jave te bukur.

fm

1. Piece of cake – Nese do t'ju bjere rasti te degjoni dike te thote se detyra qe ai kishte perfunduar, apo testi s'ishte gje tjeter vecse ' a piece of cake' kjo do te thote se:" detyra apo testi ishte dicka shume e lehte per tu plotesuar.

2. Costs an arm and a leg – Kur dicka koston:' an arm and a leg ", mendoj se sdo ta kini te veshtire te kuptoni se per ta blere ate ju duhet te paguani pikerisht kaq shtrenjte me dy pjese jetike te trupit, pra me fjale te tjera i bie te paguash shume shtrenjte= to pay a lot of money for something.

3. Break a leg – ta gjesh evten para nje shprehje te tille e te mundohesh ta gjesh kuptimin e saj duke u munduar te perkthesh pjeset perberese te kesaj shprehje atehere me siguri do te jemi para nje situate ku jemi ngaterruar e fillojme te mendojme keq. Nese jemi para nje provimi a testimi edhe ne telefonin tone na vjen pikerisht nje mesazh i tille:'Break a leg'. Miku yne i cili na ka derguar kete mesazh te jeni te sigurte se nuk do te deshironte kurre qe ju te kuptonit pikerisht ate mendim te cilin kjo shpreje do ta jepte nese do te ishim munduar ta perkthenim pjese pjese, apo fjale fjale. Aktualisht nje shprehjee tille do te thote:'Good luck!". Break a leg actually means good luck!

4. Hit the books – Nes edo tju bjere rasti te jeni student ne nje mabient ku flitet gjuha angleze atehere patjeter qe ne nje moment te caktuar ta degjoni kete shprehje shpesh here. para se te mendoni cdo lloj kutpimi tjeter do te ishte me mire te mbanit mend se: ' hit the books' dot  te thote thjesh: ' to study'. 

5. Let the cat out of the bag – Duke lexuar kete shprehje idiomatike te gjuhes angleze dikush mund edhe te drejtoje pyetjen perse dikush do ta fuste macen ne nje cante? Cfare i kish bere macja ? Ne fakt kuptimi i vertete i kesaj shprehje eshte thjesh : ' te tregosh nje sekret i cili aktualisht nuk duhet te behej i ditur, por te ruhej si i tille'

6. Hit the nail on the head – Kjo shprehje idiomatike ka te beje me nje situate te tille ne te cilen ne na duhet ti themi gjerat sic duhet ose sic edhe shprehemi ne gjuhen tone ' ti vendosim pikat mbi i'.

7. When pigs fly – A mund te mendoni se si mund te ndodhe nje gje e tille? A mund te kini pare ndonjehere nje gje te tille? une -jo! Pra nese doni te perdorni nje shprehje te tille do tju duhet te shprehni nje mendim se 'dicka nuk mund te ndodhe kurre'.

8. You can’t judge a book by its cover – Kjo shprehje idiomatike  nuk mbeshtetet vetem tek librat por pergjithesisht perdoret per shume gjera te tjera ne pergjithesi. Ne thelb,  ajo shpreh mendimin se nuk do te jete mire te gjykosh mbi dicka duke u nisur vetem nga pamja  e jashteme. 

9.  Bite off more than you can chew – Vertet mund te te ndodhi qe te jesh i uritur edhe kur merr ne dore nje hamburger te kafshosh nje cape te madhe. Nese kafshata eshte e tille atehere do kesh nje problem te madh me pertypjen dhe kaperdiimin e saj e ndoshta vetja mund te te duket si idiot nderkohe qe vjen verdalle per te gjetur nje gote uje ta percjellesh me uje e mund te mbytesh. Pra, ky do te ishte kuptimi letrar. Por, ne fakt, kjo shprehje do te thote :' te perpiqesh te mbash mbi supe nje detyre e cila per ty eshte e pa pershtateshme ose e pamundur per ta menaxhuar.'

10. Scratch someone’s back – Te gjithe e dime se sa e veshtire eshte te kruash kurrizin ne nje moment te caktuar e per me teper kur dora jote nuk rrin deri atje. Nese e shikon nje person qe mundohet ta beje kete gje, a do te mendoje ta ndihmoje ta kishte me te lehte punen e  vet? Ndoshta e ben sepse mendon se edhe ty do te te duhet qe dikush te beje te njejten gje kur te kesh te njejten nevoje. Pra, kuptimi i vertete i kesaj shprehje eshte:' te ndihmosh dike gjithmone me paramendimin se do te vije nje moment qe kjo ndihme te te kthehet ty ne te arthmen.'

Gjuha angleze e perdor peremrin some, pergjithesisht, ne fjalite deftore ( affirmative ).

Kurse peremri any, perdoret ne fjalite negative e sidomos ne fjalite pyetese.(questions).

Te dashur studente,

Mendoj se leksioni i meposhtem mund t'ju ndihmoje per te sqaruar nje problem te vogel ne gjuhen angleze. Nese mund t'ju linde ndonje pyetje, ju lutem e sqarojme ne oren perkatese.

fm

Ne gjuhen angleze perdorimi i apostrofit + s, apo s + apostrof, shpesh sjell probleme, madje edhe per vete folesit autoktone.

Ne pjesen e meposhteme ju lutem ndiqni me kujdes disa keshilla te cilat mendoj se mund tju ndihmojne per te mesuar si te perdorini me mire kuptimet qe fshihen ne keto raste perdorimi te apostrofit. Nje perdorim i mire i apostrofit ju mundeson te jeni te sakte ne percaktimin e pronesise ( possessives ) apo te shkurtimeve ( contractions )                                                                                

The apostrophe has two purposes in English: ( Perdorimi i apostrofit ka dy qellime ne  gjuhen angleze)

1. To indicate that one or more letters was dropped in a contraction:(= Ai perdoret per te treguar se nje ose me shume shkronja mund te largohen ne nje shkurtim fjale.)it is > it's
   we are > we're
   does not > doesn't
   of the clock > o'clock
    
2. To indicate possession: (= Apostrofi sherben per te treguar marredhenie pronesie;kur emri eshte ne numurin njejes atehere mbas tij vendoset apostrofi edhe objekti i cili e ndjek ate pergjithesisht duhet te njihet si prone e emrit qe e  shoqeron. Pronari mund te jete ne njejes e prona mund te jete ne njejes; gjithashtu pronari mund te jete ne njejes e prona te jete ne shumes sipas rastit; )
   a) singular with 's
       Tom's book
       Jeannie's idea
       the girl's toys (toys belong to one girl)
   b) plural with s' (= pronari mund te jete ne shumes e prona gjithashtu mund te jete ne shumes)
       the books' covers
       my brothers' jobs
       the girls' toys (toys belong to several girls)

The apostrophe should never be used when you are just talking about something that is plural, with no possession. ( Pergjithesisht eshte e keshillueshme qe apostrofi te mos perdoret kurre kur ju jeni duke folur per dicka ne numurin shumes dhe nuk jeni duke perdorur marredheniet e pronesise.Shikoni rastet me poshte:)

The girl's walked by > The girls walked by
My brother's are tall > My brothers are tall
Welcome traveler's > Welcome travelers

  

Mos harroni: Apostrofi ka nje natyre te dyfishte: ai sherben ose per te dhene nje shkurtim gjuhesor ose per te dhene nje marredhenie pronesie. Ai nuk sherben per te dhene nje kuptim ne numurin shumes ne asnje rast.

Just remember that the apostrophe has a purpose: to indicate a contraction or possession. It does not indicate a plural - the letter s does a fine job of that all by itself.

 First Conditional: real possibility

We are talking about the future. We are thinking about a particular condition or situation in the future, and the result of this condition. There is a real possibility that this condition will happen. For example, it is morning. You are at home. You plan to play tennis this afternoon. But there are some clouds in the sky. Imagine that it rains. What will you do?

IF	condition	result
	present simple	WILL + base verb
If	it rains	I will stay at home.

Notice that we are thinking about a future condition. It is not raining yet. But the sky is cloudy and you think that it could rain. We use the present simple tense to talk about the possible future condition. We use WILL + base verb to talk about the possible future result. The important thing about the first conditional is that there is a real possibility that the condition will happen. Here are some more examples (do you remember the two basic structures: [IF condition result] and [result IF condition]?):

IF	condition	result
	present simple	WILL + base verb
If	I see Mary	I will tell her.
If	Tara is free tomorrow	he will invite her.
If	they do not pass their exam	their teacher will be sad.
If	it rains tomorrow	will you stay at home?
If	it rains tomorrow	what will you do?

result	IF	condition
WILL + base verb		present simple
I will tell Mary	if	I see her.
He will invite Tara	if	she is free tomorrow.
Their teacher will be sad	if	they do not pass their exam.
Will you stay at home	if	it rains tomorrow?
What will you do	if	it rains tomorrow?

paf26012014

Conditional sentences are a good component of English. It is not difficult to form them. First try to read the following grammar spot and then we keep on with some more exercises.

fm 

The first conditional is used to talk about ...

1) A possible future situation and its result.

If you go out, you'll have fun.

Be careful - I know the first half looks like the present simple, but it's talking about the future.

We often use this form to make:

*  promises 

*  threats, 

*  negotiate.

                eg. I'll buy you a present if I go on holiday. (promise)

                      I'll hit you if you do that again! (threat)

                      If you lend me £5, I'll buy you a drink later. (negotiation)

Things to remember:

• It doesn't matter if you say the situation or the result first.
  eg."I'll help you if you want" = "if you want, I'll help you."

• You can use "unless" to mean "if not". 
  "If you don't help me ..." = "Unless you help me ..."

Future Situation = if + present simple	Possible Result = will/won't + verb
eg.If you don't help me	I'll be angry.
eg. Unless you help me	I'll be angry.

 Santa Claus

Santa Claus is someone who will remain in the hearts of children forever. He is the make-believe person who brings toys and other gifts to children at Christmas. To grown-ups, he is a special symbol of good will and selfless giving.

         Santa Claus also has some other  names: Saint Nicholas, St, Nick, Kris Kringle, Pelznickel.
Two of his names, Santa Claus and saint Nicholas, both come from the Dutch who settled in New York long ago.

      The Dutch believed Saint Nicholas gave gifts to children, and honoured this kindly saint, with a yearly festival on December sixth. The English-speaking people who lived nearby greatly enjoyed Dutch festivals.And they brought the saint and the custom of giving gifts into their own celebration at Christmas time.
The Dutch spoke the name "Saint Nicholas" very fast. It sounded like Sinterklaas. And so,when the English said this word, it sounded like - Santa Claus.

      West of New York, in Pennsylvania, many German farmers had also heard of Saint Nicholas. but they called him Pelznickel. This word came from pelz, meaning fur, and nickel for Nicholas. And so, to the Germans of Pennsylvania, Saint Nicholas or Pelznickel, was a man dressed in fur, who came once  a year with gifts for good children.

       Soon, people began to feel that the love and kindness Pelznickel brought should be part of a celebration honouring the Christkindl, as the Germans called Christ Child.  After a time this became Kris Kingle. Later, Kris Kingle became another name for Santa Claus himself.

     Whatever he is called- Santa Claus, St.Nick, Saint Nicholas, Pelznickel or Kris Kingle- he is still the same short, fat jolly old man with a long beard, wearing a red suit with white fur.

     The picture of Santa Claus, as we see him, came from Thomas Nast, an American painter born in Bavaria. he painted pictures for Christmas poems. Someone asked him to paint a picture of Santa Claus. Nast remembered when he was a little boy in southern Germany. Every Christmas, a fat, little old man gave toys cakes to the children.

So, when Nast painted the picture, his Santa Claus looked like  the kindly old man of his childhood. And through the years, Nast's painting has remained as the most popular picture of Santa Claus.

Santa can be seen almost everywhere in large American cities during the Christmas season. Men dressed in red coats and pants, with hair and beards, stand on street corners  asking for money to buy food and gifts for the needy. Other Santa Clauses are found in stores and shopping centers.  It is easy to find them.... by the long line of children waiting to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

         If one took  a vote among children to learn who their favourite person was, there is no question who would win:
Santa Claus!

Dear students of SF-3, Friday,

Have a close look at the following. Read everything very carefully and be prepared to do certain exercises on PPT, when we see each other this coming Friday.

fm

Present Perfect Tense

 We form Present Perfect Tense with the help of the verb to have + past participle of the main verb.

We form the past participle of the regular verbs by adding - ed to the basic verb form; eg: work + ed = worked.

We use Present Perfect tense:

* for actions started in the past and continue up to the present.

eg. He has been a teacher for 33 years. ( He started to work as a teacher 33 years ago and still he is a teacher )

* to talk about a past action which has a visible result in the present.

eg. Mr. Jones has built a new house.

* for actions which happened at an unspecific time in the past. The action is more important than the time
The action is more important than the time.

He has been in New York. ( when ? We don't know. it's not important )

       
  
* For recently completed actions.

She has done the shopping. (The action is complete . The shopping is now done . )

·        

F* or personal experiences /changes which have happened .

She has cut her hair short recently.

·      

        * To put emphasis on a number .

She has been to the gym seven times this week .

*         Time expressions used with the present perfect : just , already , yet , for, since , ever , never , ect.
