Hi, everybody.

أهلا بالجميع.

My name is Esther.

اسمي استير.

I'm so excited to teach you the present simple tense in today's video.

أنا متحمس جدًا لأعلمك فعل المضارع البسيط في فيديو اليوم.

Now this lesson can be a little difficult,

قد يكون هذا الدرس صعبًا بعض الشيء ،

so I'll do my best to keep it easy and fun for you.

لذا سأبذل قصارى جهدي لجعله سهلاً وممتعًا بالنسبة لك.

My goal is for you to understand how and when to use this grammar by the end of the video.

هدفي هو أن تفهم كيف ومتى تستخدم هذه القواعد بنهاية الفيديو.

Let's get started.

هيا بنا نبدأ.

Let's start with the first usage for the present simple tense.

لنبدأ بالاستخدام الأول للمضارع البسيط.

The first usage is pretty easy.

الاستخدام الأول سهل جدًا.

We use it to talk about facts, truths, and generalizations.

نستخدمها للحديث عن الحقائق والحقائق والتعميمات.

Let's look at some examples.

لنلق نظرة على بعض الأمثلة.

‘The Sun is bright.’

'الشمس مشرقة.'

Now that's a fact.

الآن هذه حقيقة.

It doesn't change.

لا يتغير.

Everybody knows that the Sun is bright.

يعلم الجميع أن الشمس مشرقة.

It was bright yesterday.

كان الجو مشرقا أمس.

It's bright today.

إنه مشرق اليوم.

And it will be bright tomorrow.

وسوف يكون مشرق غدا.

That makes it a fact.

هذا يجعلها حقيقة

‘Pigs don't fly.’

"الخنازير لا تطير."

That's also a fact.

هذه حقيقة أيضًا.

Everybody knows that pigs don't fly.

يعلم الجميع أن الخنازير لا تطير.

‘Cats are better than dogs.’

"القطط أفضل من الكلاب."

Now this you may not agree with.

الآن هذا قد لا تتفق معه.

This is my truth.

هذه هي حقيقتى.

I'm making a generalization about cats and dogs in this example.

أنا أقوم بتعميم حول القطط والكلاب في هذا المثال.

And finally, ‘It's cold in winter.’

وأخيرًا ، "الجو بارد في الشتاء".

This really depends on where you live, but for a lot of people, or let's say for

هذا يعتمد حقًا على المكان الذي تعيش فيه ، ولكن بالنسبة لكثير من الناس ، أو لنقل بالنسبة

most people, it is cold in the winter,

لمعظم الناس ، يكون الجو باردًا في الشتاء ،

so that's the truth for some people.

لذا فهذه هي الحقيقة بالنسبة لبعض الناس.

Now let's look back and see what verb I used in the present simple tense.

الآن دعونا ننظر إلى الوراء ونرى ما هو الفعل الذي استخدمته في المضارع البسيط.

For the first sentence, we have ‘is’.

بالنسبة للجملة الأولى ، لدينا "هو".

I use the ‘be’ verb ‘is’ to talk about the Sun.

أستخدم "be" الفعل "هو" للحديث عن الشمس.

In the next sentence, I use the negative of do - ‘do not’

في الجملة التالية ، أستخدم النفي - "لا تفعل"

And you'll notice I use the contraction and put these two words together to make it ‘don't’.

وستلاحظ أنني أستخدم الانكماش وأضع هاتين الكلمتين معًا لجعلها "لا تفعل".

‘Cats are better than dogs.’

"القطط أفضل من الكلاب."

I use the ‘be’ verb "are" to talk about cats because ‘cats’ is plural.

أستخدم "be" verb "are" للحديث عن القطط لأن "cats" هي صيغة الجمع.

And finally, it's cold and winter.

وأخيرًا ، الجو بارد وشتاء.

Here I use the ‘be’ verb "is" again,

هنا أستخدم "be" verb "هو" مرة أخرى ،

but I use the contraction to combine ‘it’ and ‘is’

لكنني استخدم الانكماش لدمج "it" و "is"

and made ‘it’s’.

وجعل "it's".

Let's move on to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

We also use the present simple tense to talk about habits and routines.

نستخدم أيضًا صيغة المضارع البسيط للتحدث عن العادات والروتين.

So things and actions that happen regularly.

لذلك الأشياء والأفعال التي تحدث بانتظام.

Let’s look at the examples.

لنلق نظرة على الأمثلة.

‘I always eat lunch at noon.’

"أتناول الغداء دائمًا عند الظهيرة."

You'll notice I use the adverb ‘always’ because I'm talking about something that I

ستلاحظ أنني أستخدم الظرف "دائمًا" لأنني أتحدث عن شيء

do regularly.

أفعله بانتظام.

What is that?

ما هذا؟

‘Eat lunch at noon.’

"تناول الغداء عند الظهر."

So I use the present simple tense.

لذلك أستخدم المضارع البسيط.

And here I use the verb ‘eat’.

وهنا أستخدم فعل "أكل".

‘I eat…’

"أنا آكل ..."

The second example says you play games every day.

المثال الثاني يقول أنك تلعب الألعاب كل يوم.

Do you see the clue that helps you know that this is something that happens regularly?

هل ترى الدليل الذي يساعدك على معرفة أن هذا شيء يحدث بانتظام؟

It's ‘every day’.

إنه "كل يوم".

So it's something that happens as a routine or a habit,

لذلك فهو شيء يحدث بشكل روتيني أو عادة ،

so you play games.

لذا فأنت تمارس الألعاب.

The verb here is ‘play’.

الفعل هنا هو "play".

‘You play…’

"أنت تلعب ..."

The next example says ‘Seth starts work at 9:00 a.m. daily.’

المثال التالي يقول "يبدأ Seth العمل في الساعة 9:00 صباحًا يوميًا."

Again this is something that happens regularly.

مرة أخرى هذا شيء يحدث بانتظام.

‘Seth goes to work at 9:00 a.m.’ every day.

يذهب Seth إلى العمل في الساعة 9:00 صباحًا كل يوم.

Now you'll notice I put a blue line under the ‘s’ in ‘starts’.

ستلاحظ الآن أنني وضعت خطًا أزرقًا تحت علامة 's' in 'start'.

Can you figure out why?

يمكنك معرفة لماذا؟

Well remember that when the subject of a sentence is ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’,

تذكر جيدًا أنه عندما يكون موضوع الجملة هو "هو" أو "هي" أو "هو" ،

we need to add an ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the end of the verb in the present simple tense.

فإننا نحتاج إلى إضافة "s" أو "es" إلى نهاية الفعل في زمن المضارع البسيط.

Seth is a ‘he’, so we need to add an ‘s’.

Seth هو "هو" ، لذلك نحتاج إلى إضافة "s".

‘Seth starts work at 9:00 a.m. daily.’

يبدأ Seth العمل يوميًا في الساعة 9:00 صباحًا.

And the last example: ‘They study English every Monday.’

والمثال الأخير: "إنهم يدرسون اللغة الإنجليزية كل يوم إثنين".

Again, ‘every Monday’ means that they do it regularly,

مرة أخرى ، تعني كلمة "كل يوم إثنين" أنهم يفعلون ذلك بانتظام ،

and that's why we use the present simple tense.

ولهذا السبب نستخدم المضارع البسيط.

‘They study…’.

'أنهم يدرسون…'.

So as a review, remember we use the present simple tense

لذا كمراجعة ، تذكر أننا نستخدم المضارع البسيط

to talk about habits and routines that happen regularly.

للحديث عن العادات والروتينات التي تحدث بانتظام.

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

We also use the present simple tense with non-continuous verbs.

نستخدم أيضًا المضارع البسيط مع الأفعال غير المستمرة.

These are verbs that we  don't use in the continuous 

هذه أفعال لا نستخدمها في الصورة المستمرة

form,

even if they're happening right now.

،

حتى لو كانت تحدث الآن.

They're also called stative verbs.

وتسمى أيضًا الأفعال النصية.

These are connected with thoughts, opinions, feelings, emotions, and our five senses.

هذه مرتبطة بالأفكار والآراء والمشاعر والعواطف وحواسنا الخمس.

Let's look at these examples.

لنلقِ نظرة على هذه الأمثلة.

‘I love my mom.’

'انا احب امي.'

The verb here is ‘love’.

الفعل هنا هو "الحب".

That's an emotion, so I use the present simple tense.

هذا عاطفة ، لذلك أستخدم المضارع البسيط.

‘It smells good.’

'انها الروائح الطيبة.'

‘Smell’ is one of the five senses, so I use the present simple tense.

"الشم" هو أحد الحواس الخمس ، لذلك أستخدم المضارع البسيط.

You'll notice I underlined the ‘s’ because remember the subject is ‘it’.

ستلاحظ أنني قمت بوضع خط تحت حرف "s" لأنك تذكر أن الموضوع هو "it".

‘Kelly feels happy.’

"كيلي تشعر بالسعادة."

This is talking about a feeling.

هذا يتحدث عن شعور.

Again the subject here is ‘Kelly’ which is a ‘she’,

مرة أخرى الموضوع هنا هو "Kelly" وهي "هي" ،

so I added an ‘s’ to the verb.

لذلك أضفت "s" إلى الفعل.

And finally, ‘They need help.’

وأخيرًا ، "إنهم بحاجة إلى المساعدة".

We don't say, ‘they are needing help’ even though it's happening right now.

لا نقول "إنهم بحاجة إلى مساعدة" رغم أن ذلك يحدث الآن.

‘Need’ is non-continuous, so we say, ‘they need help’,

"الحاجة" غير مستمرة ، لذلك نقول ، "يحتاجون إلى المساعدة" ،

so remember you also use the present simple tense with non-continuous verbs,

لذلك تذكر أنك تستخدم أيضًا المضارع البسيط مع الأفعال غير المستمرة

connected with thoughts, opinions, feelings, emotions, and our five senses.

المرتبطة بالأفكار والآراء والمشاعر والعواطف وحواسنا الخمس.

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

Speakers occasionally use the present simple tense to talk about something that will happen

يستخدم المتحدثون أحيانًا المضارع البسيط للحديث عن شيء سيحدث

in the near future.

في المستقبل القريب.

Now this can be a little confusing, but we're not using the future tense,

قد يكون هذا محيرًا بعض الشيء ، لكننا لا نستخدم زمن المستقبل ،

we're using the present simple tense.

نحن نستخدم المضارع البسيط.

It's possible to do that and it's actually common for people to do that.

من الممكن القيام بذلك ومن الشائع فعلاً أن يفعل الناس ذلك.

Again, for something that will happen in the near future.

مرة أخرى ، لشيء سيحدث في المستقبل القريب.

Let's look at the examples.

لنلق نظرة على الأمثلة.

‘I have class at 6 p.m.’

"لدي فصل في الساعة 6 مساءً

‘6 p.m.’ that's pretty soon, so I can say,

" 6 مساءً وهذا قريب جدًا ، لذا يمكنني القول ،

'I have class.'

"لدي فصل."

- the present simple tense.

- المضارع البسيط.

‘Lisa arrives on Sunday.’

"ليزا تصل يوم الأحد."

Again the near future, ‘Sunday’.

مرة أخرى في المستقبل القريب ، "الأحد".

So I use the present simple tense.

لذلك أستخدم المضارع البسيط.

I added an ‘s’ at the end of arrive, because Lisa, the subject, is a ‘she’.

لقد أضفت "s" في نهاية الوصول ، لأن Lisa ، الموضوع ، هي "هي".

‘We start work soon.’

"نبدأ العمل قريبا".

Again, the near future, ‘soon’,

مرة أخرى ، المستقبل القريب ، "قريبًا" ،

so I use the present simple verb ‘start’.

لذا أستخدم الفعل المضارع البسيط "ابدأ".

And finally, ‘My students come tomorrow.’

وأخيرًا ، "يأتي طلابي غدًا".

This is something that will happen in the near future,

هذا شيء سيحدث في المستقبل القريب ،

so I use the verb ‘come’.

لذلك أستخدم الفعل "تعال".

So remember it is possible, and it is common to use the present simple tense

لذلك تذكر أنه من الممكن ، ومن الشائع استخدام المضارع البسيط

to talk about something that will happen in the near future.

للحديث عن شيء سيحدث في المستقبل القريب.

Let's go to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

Let's talk about a possible negative usage for the present simple tense,

دعنا نتحدث عن استخدام سلبي محتمل للمضارع البسيط ،

and that is ‘do not’ and ‘does not’.

وهذا هو "لا تفعل" و "لا".

The first example says, ‘Mike eats bread.’

المثال الأول يقول ، "مايك يأكل الخبز".

I put an ‘s’ at the end of ‘eat’ because the subject is Mike which is a ‘he’.

أضع علامة "s" في نهاية "أكل" لأن الموضوع هو مايك وهو "هو".

Now that's not a negative statement.

الآن هذا ليس بيانًا سلبيًا.

What happens when I want to turn it into a negative statement?

ماذا يحدث عندما أريد تحويلها إلى بيان سلبي؟

Well I change it like this - ‘Mike doesn't eat bread.’

حسنًا ، أغيرها على هذا النحو - "مايك لا يأكل الخبز".

So you'll notice that I didn't move the ‘s’ here, okay.

لذلك ستلاحظ أنني لم أنقل 's' هنا ، حسنًا.

Instead I added ‘doesn't’.

بدلاً من ذلك أضفت "لا".

I took ‘does’ and ‘not’ and I turned it into a contraction by combining the two

أخذت "لا" و "لا" وقمت بتحويلها إلى انكماش من خلال الجمع بين الاثنين

and making it ‘doesn't’.

وجعلها "لا".

So if the subject is ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’,

لذلك إذا كان الموضوع هو "هو" أو "هي" أو "هو" ،

we use ‘does not’ or ‘doesn't’ to make it negative.

فإننا نستخدم "لا" أو "لا" لجعله سلبيًا.

‘You swim well.’

'أنت تسبح جيدا.'

In this case, I don't need to put an ‘s’ at the end of ‘swim’ because the subject

في هذه الحالة ، لست بحاجة إلى وضع "s" في نهاية "السباحة" لأن الموضوع

is ‘you’.

هو "أنت".

If I want to make this sentence negative, I use ‘don't’.

إذا كنت أريد أن أجعل هذه الجملة سلبية ، فأنا استخدم "لا".

‘You don't swim well.’

"أنت لا تسبح جيداً."

I use the contraction for ‘do’ and ‘not’.

أنا استخدم الانكماش لـ "do" و "not".

I combine them to make ‘don't’,

أقوم بدمجها لجعل "لا تفعل" ،

so if the subject is ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’, or ‘they’,

لذلك إذا كان الموضوع هو "أنا" أو "أنت" أو "نحن" أو "هم" ،

we use ‘do not’ or ‘don't’.

فإننا نستخدم "لا تفعل" أو "لا تفعل".

So to review ‘do not’ and ‘does not’ or ‘don't’ and ‘doesn't’

لذا فإن مراجعة "لا تفعل" و "لا تفعل" أو "لا تفعل" و "لا"

is a possible usage for the negative for present simple

هي استخدام محتمل للنفي للمضارع البسيط

tense.

.

Let's continue on.

دعنا نواصل.

Now I'll talk about one possible question form for the present simple tense

الآن سأتحدث عن نموذج سؤال واحد محتمل للمضارع البسيط

and that is by using ‘do’ or ‘does’.

وذلك باستخدام "do" أو "does".

So let's look at the example, ‘They live here.’

لذلك دعونا نلقي نظرة على المثال ، "إنهم يعيشون هنا".

That's not a question, right?

هذا ليس سؤال ، أليس كذلك؟

'They live here’

"إنهم يعيشون هنا"

In order to turn it into a question, it's really simple.

من أجل تحويلها إلى سؤال ، فالأمر بسيط حقًا.

All I have to do is add ‘do’ to the beginning and add a question mark at the end.

كل ما علي فعله هو إضافة "do" إلى البداية وإضافة علامة استفهام في النهاية.

‘Do they live here?’

"هل يعيشون هنا؟"

So if the subject is ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’, or ‘they’,

لذا إذا كان الموضوع هو "أنا" أو "أنت" أو "نحن" أو "هم" ،

simply add ‘do’ to the beginning of the question.

فما عليك سوى إضافة "فعل" إلى بداية السؤال.

How about this one, ‘He plays soccer.’

ماذا عن هذا ، "إنه يلعب كرة القدم".

In this statement, the subject is ‘he’ and that's why you should know by now,

في هذا البيان ، الموضوع هو "هو" ولهذا السبب يجب أن تعرف الآن ،

I have an ‘s’ at the end of ‘play’.

لدي حرف "s" في نهاية "مسرحية".

However, to turn this into a question, I add ‘does’ at the beginning.

ومع ذلك ، لتحويل هذا إلى سؤال ، أضيف "هل" في البداية.

‘Does he play soccer?’

'هل يلعب كرة القدم؟'

What you'll notice here is that I no longer have the ‘s’ at the end of play.

ما ستلاحظه هنا هو أنني لم أعد أمتلك 's في نهاية المسرحية.

Instead I just used ‘does’ at the beginning,

بدلاً من ذلك ، استخدمت فقط "هل" في البداية ،

so for ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’, put ‘does’ at the beginning,

لذلك بالنسبة لـ "هو" أو "هي" أو "هي" ، ضع "يفعل" في البداية ،

and don't worry about putting an ‘s’ or ‘es’ at the end of the verb.

ولا تقلق بشأن وضع "s" أو "es" في نهاية الفعل.

So to review, one possible way of forming a question for the present simple tense is

لذا ، للمراجعة ، إحدى الطرق الممكنة لتشكيل سؤال في زمن المضارع البسيط هي

using ‘do’ or ‘does’ at the beginning.

استخدام "do" أو "do" في البداية.

Alright let's move on.

حسنا دعنا ننتقل.

Let's start with the first checkup.

لنبدأ بالفحص الأول.

In this checkup, I want you to focus on the ‘be’ verbs.

في هذا الفحص ، أريدك أن تركز على أفعال "be".

Remember ‘be’ verbs, in the present simple tense, can be ‘is’, ‘am’, or ‘are’.

تذكر أن "be" أفعال ، في المضارع البسيط ، يمكن أن تكون "is" أو "am" أو "are".

Take a look at the first sentence.

ألق نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

It says, ‘She _ blank _ at school.’

تقول ، "إنها _ فارغة _ في المدرسة".

The subject of this sentence is ‘she’.

موضوع هذه الجملة هو "هي".

What ‘be’ verb do we use for ‘she’?

ما هو فعل "تكون" الذي نستخدمه لـ "هي"؟

The correct answer is ‘is’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هو".

Now if you were thinking of the negative, the

الآن إذا كنت تفكر في السلبية ، فإن

correct answer would be ‘she isn't’

الإجابة الصحيحة ستكون "هي ليست"

or ‘she is not’.

أو "هي ليست كذلك".

That's correct as well.

هذا صحيح أيضًا.

And if we want to use a contraction for ‘she is’, we can say ‘she's at school’

وإذا أردنا استخدام الانكماش لـ "هي" ، فيمكننا أن نقول "إنها في المدرسة"

For the next one, it says, ‘They _ blank _ twenty years old.’

بالنسبة للخطوة التالية ، تقول ، "إنها _ فارغة _ تبلغ من العمر عشرين عامًا."

The subject of this sentence is ‘they’.

موضوع هذه الجملة هو "هم".

What ‘be’ verb do we use for ‘they’?

ما فعل "يكون" الذي نستخدمه لـ "هم"؟

The correct answer is ‘are’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هي".

For the negative, you can also use ‘aren't’ or ‘are not’.

بالنسبة للسلبيات ، يمكنك أيضًا استخدام "لا" أو "لا".

Also if you want to use the contraction for ‘they are’, you can say,

وأيضًا إذا كنت تريد استخدام الانكماش من أجل "هم" ، فيمكنك أن تقول ،

‘They're 20 years old.’

"إنهما يبلغان من العمر 20 عامًا."

The next sentence says, ‘His father _ blank_ busy.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "والده _ فارغ_ مشغول".

The subject of this sentence is ‘his father’.

موضوع هذه الجملة هو "والده".

What subject pronoun do we use for ‘his father’?

ما ضمير الفاعل الذي نستخدمه لـ "والده"؟

The correct answer is ‘he’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هو".

Remember for ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, the ‘be’ verb is ‘is’.

تذكر "هو" ، "هي" ، "هو" ، "يكون" الفعل "هو".

For the negative, we can say ‘isn't’ or ‘is not’.

بالنسبة للسلبيات ، يمكننا أن نقول "لا" أو "لا".

And for a contraction, for ‘father’ and ‘is’, we can say, ‘His father's busy.’

وبالنسبة للانكماش ، لـ "الأب" و "هو" ، يمكننا القول ، "والده مشغول".

Now I want you to try to find the mistakes in this sentence.

الآن أريدك أن تحاول إيجاد الأخطاء في هذه الجملة.

‘We isn't good friends.’

"نحن لسنا أصدقاء جيدين."

Did you find the mistake?

هل وجدت الخطأ؟

This is the mistake.

هذا هو الخطأ.

The subject is ‘we’ and the ‘be’ verb is ‘are’.

الموضوع هو "نحن" و "يكون" الفعل هو "هم".

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘we are not’,

لذلك ، فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي "لسنا كذلك" ،

or the contraction, ‘we aren't good friends.’

أو الانكماش ، "لسنا أصدقاء جيدين".

The next sentence.

الجملة التالية.

Can you find the mistake?

يمكنك العثور على خطأ؟

‘Are John a teacher?’

"هل يوحنا معلم؟"

Think about the subject of this sentence.

فكر في موضوع هذه الجملة.

The subject is ‘John’.

الموضوع هو "جون".

And ‘John’, the subject pronoun is ‘he’.

و "جون" ، ضمير الفاعل هو "هو".

Therefore, we don't use ‘are’, we use ‘is’.

لذلك ، نحن لا نستخدم "are" ، بل نستخدم "is".

‘Is John a teacher?’

"هل يوحنا مدرس؟"

‘Is John a teacher?’

"هل يوحنا مدرس؟"

And finally, ‘It am a puppy.’

وأخيرًا ، "أنا جرو".

hmm This one is a big mistake.

حسنًا ، هذا خطأ كبير.

The subject here is ‘it’.

الموضوع هنا هو "هو".

What ‘be’ verb do we use for ‘it’?

ما هو الفعل "be" الذي نستخدمه لـ "it"؟

The correct answer is ‘is’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هو".

So we don't say, ‘It am a puppy,’ we say, ‘It is a puppy.’

لذلك نحن لا نقول ، "أنا جرو" ، بل نقول "إنه جرو".

Great job guys.

عمل رائع يا رفاق.

Let's move on to the next checkup.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الفحص التالي.

For the next checkup, I want you to think of some other verbs in the present simple

في الفحص التالي ، أريدك أن تفكر في بعض الأفعال الأخرى في زمن المضارع البسيط

tense.

.

Take a look at the first sentence.

ألق نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

‘He __ blank __ …’, I want you to think of the verb, ‘like his dinner’.

"إنه __ فارغ __ ..." ، أريدك أن تفكر في فعل "مثل عشاءه".

What do we do to the verb when the subject is ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’?

ماذا نفعل بالفعل عندما يكون الفاعل "هو" أو "هي" أو "هو"؟

Remember we add an ‘s’.

تذكر أننا نضيف "s".

‘He likes his dinner.’

- إنه يحب عشاءه.

For the negative, you can also say, ‘He doesn't like his dinner.’

بالنسبة للسلبيات ، يمكنك أيضًا أن تقول ، "إنه لا يحب عشاءه".

The next sentence says, ‘My students __ blank __…’, I want you to think of ‘need’,

الجملة التالية تقول ، "طلابي __ فارغ __ ..." ، أريدك أن تفكر في "حاجة" ،

‘…books’.

"... كتب".

What is the subject pronoun for ‘my students’?

ما هو ضمير موضوع "طلابي"؟

The correct answer is ‘they’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هم".

If the subject is ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’, or ‘they’, in the present simple tense,

إذا كان الفاعل هو "أنا" أو "أنت" أو "نحن" أو "هم" ، في المضارع البسيط ،

we don't change the verb, we keep it as is.

فإننا لا نغير الفعل ، بل نحتفظ به كما هو.

So the correct answer is, ‘My students need books.’

لذا فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ، "طلابي بحاجة إلى كتب".

Now for the negative, you can say, ‘My students don't need books.’

الآن بالنسبة للسلبيات ، يمكنك أن تقول ، "طلابي لا يحتاجون إلى كتب".

The next sentence says, ‘I __ blank __…’, think of the verb,

الجملة التالية تقول ، "أنا __ فارغ __ ..." ، فكر في الفعل ،

‘…live in London.’

"... أعيش في لندن."

What do we do here?

ماذا نفعل هنا؟

Again the subject is ‘I’, therefore we don't change the verb.

مرة أخرى الموضوع هو "أنا" ، لذلك نحن لا نغير الفعل.

The correct answer is, ‘I live in London.’

الجواب الصحيح هو "أنا أعيش في لندن".

What's the negative?

ما هو السلبي؟

‘I don't live in London.’

"أنا لا أعيش في لندن."

For the next part, I would like for you to try to find the mistake in the sentence.

بالنسبة للجزء التالي ، أود أن تحاول العثور على الخطأ في الجملة.

‘He doesn't likes math.’

"إنه لا يحب الرياضيات."

What's the error here?

ما هو الخطأ هنا؟

Well this is a negative.

حسنًا ، هذا سلبي.

‘He doesn't…’, that's correct.

"لا ..." ، هذا صحيح.

However, we do not add an ‘s’ when we have ‘doesn't’ in front of ‘it’.

ومع ذلك ، فإننا لا نضيف "s" عندما يكون لدينا "لا" أمام "هو".

‘Do he eat candy?’

- هل يأكل الحلوى؟

Here we have a question.

هنا لدينا سؤال.

The subject of the sentence is ‘he’.

موضوع الجملة هو "هو".

For ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, when we're making a sentence in the present simple tense,

بالنسبة إلى "هو" ، "هي" ، "هي" ، عندما نصنع جملة في زمن المضارع البسيط ،

we use ‘does’ not ‘do’.

نستخدم "لا" لا "تفعل".

So the correct answer is, ‘Does he eat candy?’

لذا فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ، "هل يأكل الحلوى؟"

And finally, ‘Sam is play computer games.’

وأخيرًا ، "يلعب Sam بألعاب الكمبيوتر."

There are two present simple verbs here and we can't have that,

هناك نوعان من الأفعال البسيطة الحالية هنا ولا يمكننا الحصول على ذلك ،

so the correct way to fix this sentence is to get rid of the ‘is’.

لذا فإن الطريقة الصحيحة لإصلاح هذه الجملة هي التخلص من "is".

So take that out and say, ‘Sam plays computer games.’

لذا أخرج ذلك وقل ، "سام يلعب ألعاب الكمبيوتر."

Add an ‘s’ because the subject is ‘Sam’ which is a ‘he’.

أضف "s" لأن الموضوع هو "Sam" وهو "هو".

Great job!

عمل عظيم!

Let's move on to the next practice.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الممارسة التالية.

For this next practice, we're taking a look at routines.

في هذه الممارسة التالية ، سنلقي نظرة على الإجراءات الروتينية.

Remember the present simple tense can be used to describe events that happen regularly.

تذكر أن المضارع البسيط يمكن استخدامه لوصف الأحداث التي تحدث بانتظام.

Let's take a look at the first sentence,

دعونا نلقي نظرة على الجملة الأولى ،

‘We _ blank _ the bus every day.’

"نحن _ فارغة _ الحافلة كل يوم."

And I want you to use the verb ‘take’.

وأريدك أن تستخدم فعل "أخذ".

Here we see the clue word ‘every day’ which shows that this is a routine.

هنا نرى الكلمة المفتاحية "كل يوم" والتي توضح أن هذا أمر روتيني.

The subject of the sentence is ‘we’.

موضوع الجملة هو "نحن".

In the present simple tense,

في المضارع البسيط ،

remember if the subject is ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’, or ‘they’,

تذكر ما إذا كان الفاعل هو "أنا" أو "أنت" أو "نحن" أو "هم" ،

we do not change the verb.

فنحن لا نغير الفعل.

Therefore the correct answer is, ‘We take the bus every day.’

لذلك فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي: "نستقل الحافلة كل يوم".

In the second sentence it says, ‘He _ blank _ to school every morning.’

في الجملة الثانية تقول ، "إنه _ فارغ _ يذهب إلى المدرسة كل صباح".

Again a routine.

مرة أخرى روتين.

The subject here is ‘he’.

الموضوع هنا هو "هو".

What do we do if the subject is ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘it’?

ماذا نفعل إذا كان الموضوع هو "هو" أو "هي" أو "هو"؟

We add ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the verb.

نضيف "s" أو "es" إلى الفعل.

In this example, the verb is ‘go’, so we have to add ‘es’.

في هذا المثال ، الفعل هو "go" ، لذلك علينا إضافة "es".

‘He goes to school every morning.’

"إنه يذهب إلى المدرسة كل صباح".

In the next sentence, it says, ‘Lizzy not play (in parenthesis) tennis.’

في الجملة التالية ، تقول ، "ليزي لا تلعب (بين قوسين) التنس".

Here I want you to think about the negative form.

هنا أريدك أن تفكر في الشكل السلبي.

Lizzy is a ‘she’.

ليزي هي "هي".

The subject pronoun is ‘she’ so what do we do for the negative?

ضمير الفاعل هو "هي" فماذا نفعل للسلبي؟

We say ‘does not’ or the contraction ‘doesn't play tennis’.

نقول "لا" أو الانكماش "لا يلعب التنس".

We do not add an ‘s’ or ‘es’ to the end of the verb.

لا نضيف "s" أو "es" إلى نهاية الفعل.

Instead we say ‘doesn't’ or ‘does not’.

بدلاً من ذلك نقول "لا" أو "لا".

Now I want you to find a mistake in the next sentence.

الآن أريدك أن تجد خطأ في الجملة التالية.

‘They watches TV at night.’

"إنهم يشاهدون التلفزيون في الليل."

Can you figure out what's wrong with the sentence?

هل يمكنك معرفة ما هو الخطأ في الجملة؟

The subject is ‘they’.

الموضوع هو "هم".

Therefore, remember, we do not change the verb.

لذلك ، تذكر ، نحن لا نغير الفعل.

We say ‘watch’.

نقول "مشاهدة".

‘They watch TV at night’.

"يشاهدون التلفزيون في الليل".

In the next sentence, or question, it says, ‘Does he plays soccer every week?’

في الجملة التالية ، أو السؤال ، يقول ، "هل يلعب كرة القدم كل أسبوع؟"

The subject of the sentence is ‘he’.

موضوع الجملة هو "هو".

To make a sentence, putting ‘does’ at the beginning is okay,

لتكوين جملة ، لا بأس بوضع "do" في البداية ،

However, we don't put an ‘s’ at the end of ‘play’.

ومع ذلك ، لا نضع "s" في نهاية "play".

Therefore, the correct answer is to simply say,

لذلك ، فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ببساطة ،

‘Does he play soccer every week?’

"هل يلعب كرة القدم كل أسبوع؟"

And finally, ‘He always forget his book.’

وأخيرًا ، "ينسى دائمًا كتابه".

In this case, the subject is ‘he’.

في هذه الحالة ، الموضوع هو "هو".

Remember, again, for he/she/it we add 's' or 'es' to the end of the verb.

تذكر ، مرة أخرى ، بالنسبة له / لها / نحن نضيف "s" أو "es" إلى نهاية الفعل.

What's the verb in the sentence?

ما هو الفعل في الجملة؟

It's ‘forget’.

إنه "ننسى".

Therefore we have to say, ‘He always forgets his book.’

لذلك علينا أن نقول: "إنه دائمًا ما ينسى كتابه".

Great job.

عمل عظيم.

Let's move on to the next practice.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الممارسة التالية.

In this checkup, we'll take a look at how the present simple tense can be used to describe

في هذا الفحص ، سنلقي نظرة على كيفية استخدام المضارع البسيط لوصف

future events.

الأحداث المستقبلية.

Take a look at the first sentence.

ألق نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

It says, ‘The airplane _ blank _ tonight.’

تقول ، "الطائرة _ فارغة _ الليلة".

And we're looking at the verb ‘leave’.

ونحن ننظر إلى فعل "اترك".

What is the subject of the sentence?

ما هو موضوع الجملة؟

The correct answer is ‘airplane’.

الإجابة الصحيحة هي "الطائرة".

What subject pronoun do we use for ‘airplane’?

ما ضمير الفاعل الذي نستخدمه لـ "طائرة"؟

It's ‘it’.

انها ل'.

Remember in the present simple tense, for ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, we add an ‘s’

تذكر في المضارع البسيط ، من أجل "هو" ، "هي" ، "هو" ، نضيف "s"

or ‘es’ to the verb.

أو "es" إلى الفعل.

The verb here is ‘leave’ so we simply add an ‘s’.

الفعل هنا هو "اترك" لذلك نضيف ببساطة "s".

The correct answer is, ‘The airplane leaves tonight.’

الإجابة الصحيحة هي أن الطائرة ستغادر الليلة.

In the second sentence, it says, ‘Does the movie _blank_ soon?’

في الجملة الثانية تقول "هل الفيلم _الفارغ_ قريباً؟"

And we're using the verb ‘start’.

ونحن نستخدم فعل "ابدأ".

What is the subject of this sentence?

ما هو موضوع هذه الجملة؟

It’s ‘movie’.

إنه "فيلم".

And what subject pronoun do we use for movie?

وما ضمير الفاعل الذي نستخدمه للفيلم؟

It’s ‘it’.

انها ل'.

So it's like saying, ‘Does it _ blank _ soon?’

لذا فهو مثل القول ، "هل _ فارغ _ قريبًا؟"

Well this is a question, so we already have the correct word in the front - ‘does’.

حسنًا ، هذا سؤال ، لذلك لدينا بالفعل الكلمة الصحيحة في المقدمة - "هل".

For he/she/it, when we're asking a question, we use ‘does’.

بالنسبة له / لها ، عندما نطرح سؤالاً ، نستخدم كلمة "هل".

Now all we have to do is use the same verb in its base form,

الآن كل ما يتعين علينا فعله هو استخدام نفس الفعل في صيغته الأساسية ،

so ‘Does the movie start soon?’

لذا "هل يبدأ الفيلم قريبًا؟"

We do not add an ‘s’ or ‘es’ here.

لا نضيف "s" أو "es" هنا.

Finally, it says, ‘Viki _ blank _ tomorrow.’

أخيرًا ، تقول ، "فيكي _ فارغ _ غدًا".

The subject of the sentence is ‘Vicki’.

موضوع الجملة هو "فيكي".

‘Vicki’ is a girl so the subject pronoun is ‘she’.

"فيكي" فتاة لذا ضمير الفاعل هو "هي".

You'll remember now that for… in this case, we put ‘works’.

ستتذكر الآن أنه من أجل ... في هذه الحالة ، نضع "الأعمال".

w-o-r-k-s ‘works’.

يعمل "يعمل".

‘Vicki works tomorrow.’

"فيكي ستعمل غدا."

Now let's find the mistakes in the sentence below.

الآن دعنا نجد الأخطاء في الجملة أدناه.

‘He do leave at 3:30 p.m.’

"إنه يغادر الساعة 3:30 مساءً" في

Actually there's only one mistake.

الواقع هناك خطأ واحد فقط.

Can you find it?

هل تستطيع ايجاده؟

‘He do leave at 3:30 p.m.’

"إنه يغادر الساعة 3:30 مساءً"

We do not need the ‘do’ here.

لسنا بحاجة إلى "افعل" هنا.

We only use ‘do’ in a question or in the negative form.

نحن نستخدم فقط "do" في السؤال أو في الصورة السلبية.

But also the subject is ‘he’, so we would use ‘does’.

لكن الموضوع أيضًا هو "هو" ، لذلك سنستخدم "يفعل".

Either way we don't need this here.

في كلتا الحالتين لا نحتاج هذا هنا.

Well now we have the verb ‘leave’ with the subject ‘he’.

حسنًا ، لدينا الآن فعل "مغادرة" مع الفاعل "هو".

Do you know what to do?

هل تعرف ماذا تفعل؟

We simply change this to ‘leaves’.

نحن ببساطة نغير هذا إلى "أوراق".

Just like we did in the first sentence.

تمامًا كما فعلنا في الجملة الأولى.

‘He leaves at 3:30 p.m.’

"يغادر الساعة 3:30 مساءً"

In the next sentence, ‘They don't start school today.’

في الجملة التالية ، "لم يبدأوا المدرسة اليوم".

We have a negative sentence.

لدينا جملة سلبية.

‘They don't…’, that's correct.

"لا ..." ، هذا صحيح.

‘…do not’ is correct.

"… لا" هو الصحيح.

For subject pronoun ‘they’.

لضمير الفاعل "هم".

However, in the negative form, we don't have to change the main verb at all.

ومع ذلك ، في الصورة السلبية ، لا يتعين علينا تغيير الفعل الرئيسي على الإطلاق.

Therefore, all we will do is say, ‘They don't start school today.’

لذلك ، كل ما سنفعله هو أن نقول ، "إنهم لا يبدؤون المدرسة اليوم".

No ‘s’.

لا.

Finally, ‘Does we eat at noon?’

أخيرًا ، "هل نأكل عند الظهر؟"

Take a look.

إلق نظرة.

What is the subject or subject pronoun in the sentence?

ما هو الفاعل أو الضمير الفاعل في الجملة؟

The correct answer is ‘we’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "نحن".

Think about the question form.

فكر في شكل السؤال.

Do we say ‘do’ or ‘does’ in the question form for the subject pronoun ‘we’?

هل نقول "هل" أو "هل" في صيغة السؤال للضمير الفاعل "نحن"؟

The correct answer is ‘do’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "افعل".

We say ‘do’.

نقول "افعل".

So the correct way to say this sentence or question is,

لذا فإن الطريقة الصحيحة لقول هذه الجملة أو السؤال هي ،

‘Do we eat at noon?’

"هل نأكل عند الظهر؟"

Great job guys.

وداعا.

Hi, everybody. I'm Esther.

أهلا بالجميع. انا استير.

I'm so excited to be teaching you the  present continuous tense in this video.

أنا متحمس جدًا لأعلمك فعل المضارع المستمر في هذا الفيديو.

This tense is used to describe: an action that's happening right now,

يستخدم هذا الزمن لوصف: فعل يحدث الآن ،

a longer action in progress , and something happening in the near future.

عمل أطول قيد التقدم ، وشيء ما سيحدث في المستقبل القريب.

There's a lot to learn, but don't worry I'll guide you through it.

هناك الكثير لنتعلمه ، لكن لا تقلق سأوجهك خلال ذلك.

Let's get started.

هيا بنا نبدأ.

The present continuous tense is used to talk  about actions that are happening right now.

يستخدم المضارع المستمر للحديث عن الأفعال التي تحدث الآن.

For example,

على سبيل المثال ،

‘I'm teaching English’ and ‘You are studying English.’

"أنا أدرس اللغة الإنجليزية" و "أنت تدرس اللغة الإنجليزية".

Let's take a look at some more examples.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على المزيد من الأمثلة.

The first sentence says, ‘He is watching a movie’.

الجملة الأولى تقول: "إنه يشاهد فيلمًا".

We start with the subject and a ‘be’ verb.

نبدأ بالموضوع وفعل "be".

In this case, the subject is ‘he’.

في هذه الحالة ، الموضوع هو "هو".

For ‘he’ / ‘she’ and ‘it’,  we use the ‘be’ verb ‘is’.

بالنسبة لـ "هو" / "هي" و "هي" ، نستخدم "be" فعل "هو".

Then you'll notice I added an ‘-ing’  to the end of the verb ‘watch’.

ثم ستلاحظ أنني أضفت "-ing" إلى نهاية فعل "مشاهدة".

‘He is watching a movie.’

"إنه يشاهد فيلم".

The next sentence says, ‘Tim is playing a computer game.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "تيم يلعب لعبة كمبيوتر".

He's doing that right now.

يفعل ذلك الآن.

Tim is a ‘he’, therefore, again  we use the ‘be’ verb ‘is’.

تيم هو "هو" ، لذلك ، مرة أخرى نستخدم "يكون" الفعل "هو".

And again you'll notice I added  ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb.

ومرة أخرى ستلاحظ أنني أضفت "-ing" إلى نهاية الفعل.

The next sentence says,

الجملة التالية تقول ،

‘The machine is making a noise.’

"الآلة تُحدث ضوضاء".

Now pay attention to the subject, ‘the machine’.

انتبه الآن إلى موضوع "الآلة".

What is the proper pronoun?

ما هو الضمير الصحيح؟

The answer is ‘it’, therefore  we use the ‘be’ verb ‘is’.

الجواب هو "هو" ، لذلك نستخدم "يكون" الفعل "هو".

‘The machine is making a noise.’

"الآلة تحدث ضجة."

We can also say, ‘It is making a noise’. Or the contraction, ‘It's making a noise’.

يمكننا أيضًا أن نقول ، "إنها تحدث ضوضاء". أو الانكماش ، "إنها تصدر ضوضاء".

And finally, ‘Tom and Ben are speaking English’.

وأخيرًا ، "توم وبن يتحدثان الإنجليزية".

In this case, you'll notice  that we use the ‘be’ verb ‘are’.

في هذه الحالة ، ستلاحظ أننا نستخدم "be" verb "are".

Can you figure out why?

يمكنك معرفة لماذا؟

That's because Tom and Ben - the subject pronoun for these two is ‘they’.

هذا لأن Tom and Ben - ضمير الفاعل لهذين الاثنين هو "هم".

‘They are speaking English.’

"إنهم يتحدثون الإنجليزية".

Let's move on to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

The present continuous tense is also used to describe a longer action in progress.

يستخدم المضارع المستمر أيضًا لوصف إجراء أطول قيد التقدم.

Even though you might not be  doing the action right now.

على الرغم من أنك قد لا تقوم بهذا الإجراء الآن.

Let's take a look at some examples.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على بعض الأمثلة.

The first sentence says,

الجملة الأولى تقول ،

‘I'm reading an interesting book these days.’

"أنا أقرأ كتابًا مثيرًا للاهتمام هذه الأيام".

In this case, the subject is  ‘I’, so the ‘be’ verb is ‘am’.

في هذه الحالة ، يكون الفاعل هو "أنا" ، لذا فإن فعل "be" هو "am".

In this example, we use the contraction  ‘I'm’ by putting ‘I’ and ‘am’ together.

في هذا المثال ، نستخدم الانكماش "أنا" من خلال وضع "أنا" و "أنا" معًا.

Again, you'll notice there's  an ‘-ing’ after the verb.

مرة أخرى ، ستلاحظ وجود "-ing" بعد الفعل.

The next sentence says,

الجملة التالية تقول ،

‘You are studying to become an English teacher.’

"أنت تدرس لتصبح مدرس لغة إنجليزية".

The subject here is ‘you’,

الموضوع هنا هو "أنت" ،

therefore the ‘be’ verb is ‘are’.

لذلك يكون الفعل "be" هو "are".

Next, ‘Steven is preparing for the IELTS exam.’

بعد ذلك ، "يستعد ستيفن لامتحان IELTS."

The subject here is ‘Steven’ which is a ‘he’,

الموضوع هنا هو "ستيفن" وهو "هو" ،

therefore we use the ‘be’ verb ‘is’.

لذلك نستخدم "يكون" فعل "هو".

And finally, ‘John and June are working at a company.’

وأخيرًا ، "يعمل جون وجون في شركة".

If you look at the subject ‘John and June’, the pronoun for that is ‘they’.

إذا نظرت إلى موضوع "John and June" ، فإن ضمير ذلك هو "هم".

That's why we use the ‘be’ verb ‘are’.

لهذا السبب نستخدم "be" verb "are".

‘They are working at a company.’

"إنهم يعملون في شركة."

Let's move on to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

The present continuous is also used  to talk about near future plans.

يستخدم المضارع المستمر أيضًا للتحدث عن خطط المستقبل القريب.

Let's take a look.

لنلقي نظرة.

‘She is meeting some friends tonight.’

"إنها ستلتقي ببعض الأصدقاء الليلة".

That's going to happen in the near future.

هذا سيحدث في المستقبل القريب.

You'll notice that we have 'she', so the ‘be’ verb is ‘is’.

ستلاحظ أن لدينا كلمة "هي" ، لذا فإن فعل "be" هو "is".

And then we added an ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb ‘meet’.

ثم أضفنا "-ing" إلى نهاية الفعل "لقاء".

The next example says, ‘We are going on vacation in July.’

المثال التالي يقول ، "نحن ذاهبون في إجازة في يوليو".

The subject here is ‘we’, therefore we use the ‘be’ verb ‘are’.

الموضوع هنا هو "نحن" ، لذلك نستخدم "be" فعل "are".

We can also use a contraction and say, ‘We're going on vacation in July.’

يمكننا أيضًا استخدام الانكماش والقول ، "سنذهب في إجازة في يوليو".

Again, another near future plan.

مرة أخرى ، خطة أخرى في المستقبل القريب.

The next example says,

المثال التالي يقول ،

‘David is learning to drive tomorrow.’

"ديفيد يتعلم القيادة غدًا."

‘tomorrow’ is the near future.

"غدا" هو المستقبل القريب.

‘David’ is the subject.

"ديفيد" هو الموضوع.

‘David’ is a ‘he’, so we use ‘is’.

"ديفيد" هو "هو" ، لذلك نستخدم "هو".

And lastly, ‘Vicki and I are teaching English next week.’

وأخيرًا ، "سنقوم أنا وفيكي بتدريس اللغة الإنجليزية الأسبوع المقبل".

‘Vicky and I’… If we think about the subject pronoun is ‘we’.

"فيكي وأنا" ... إذا فكرنا في ضمير الفاعل هو "نحن".

That's why we used ‘are’. ‘We are teaching.’

لهذا السبب استخدمنا كلمة "are". "نحن ندرس."

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

Now let's talk about the negative  form of the present continuous tense.

الآن دعونا نتحدث عن الصورة السالبة للزمن المستمر المضارع.

I have some examples here.

لدي بعض الأمثلة هنا.

These two examples are for actions that are happening right now, or longer actions.

هذان المثالان مخصصان للإجراءات التي تحدث الآن ، أو الإجراءات الأطول.

These last two are for near future plans.

هذين الأخيرين لخطط المستقبل القريب.

Let's take a look.

لنلقي نظرة.

The first sentence says, ‘I am not having fun.’

الجملة الأولى تقول ، "أنا لا أستمتع".

Now that's not true for me because I am having fun,

الآن هذا ليس صحيحًا بالنسبة لي لأنني أستمتع ،

but in this example I am not having fun.

لكن في هذا المثال لا أستمتع.

You'll notice that the word ‘not’ goes  between the ‘be’ verb and the ‘verb -ing’.

ستلاحظ أن كلمة "لا" تذهب بين فعل "be" و "فعل الفعل".

In the second example it says, ‘Jane isn't doing her homework.’

في المثال الثاني تقول ، "جين لا تقوم بواجبها المنزلي".

Here we use the contraction ‘isn't’ for ‘is not’,

هنا نستخدم الاختصار "ليس" لأن "ليس" ،

so just like the first sentence, we put ‘not’ between ‘is’ and ‘verb -ing’.

لذلك تمامًا مثل الجملة الأولى ، نضع "ليس" بين "is" و "فعل فعل".

The next sentence says, ‘You're not seeing him tonight.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "لن تراه الليلة".

Here we have a contraction for ‘you are’.

هنا لدينا انكماش لـ "أنت".

‘You're not seeing him tonight.’

"أنت لا تراه الليلة".

And finally, ‘We are not running tomorrow morning.’

وأخيرًا ، "لن نجري صباح الغد".

Here we have the subject ‘we’, therefore, we use the ‘be’ verb ‘are’.

هنا لدينا الفاعل "نحن" ، لذلك نستخدم "be" فعل "are".

Don’t forget to add a ‘not’ after that to make it negative.

لا تنس إضافة "ليس" بعد ذلك لجعلها سلبية.

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

Now let's talk about how to form ‘be’ verb  questions in the present continuous tense.

الآن دعنا نتحدث عن كيفية تكوين أسئلة فعل "كن" في زمن المضارع المستمر.

The first example here says,

المثال الأول هنا يقول:

‘Is he waiting for you?’ or ‘Is he waiting for you?’

"هل هو في انتظارك؟" أو "هل هو في انتظاركم؟"

We start with the ‘be’ verb.

نبدأ بفعل "be".

Take a look at the subject though.

الق نظرة على الموضوع بالرغم من ذلك.

The subject is ‘he’ and that's why we start with the ‘be’ verb ‘is’.

الموضوع هو "هو" ولهذا نبدأ بـ "يكون" الفعل "هو".

‘Is he waiting for you?’

"هل هو في انتظارك؟"

You can answer, ‘Yes, he is.’ or ‘No he isn't.’

يمكنك أن تجيب ، "نعم ، هو كذلك." أو "لا هو ليس كذلك".

The second sentence says,

الجملة الثانية تقول ،

‘Are you coming to class?’

"هل ستأتي إلى الفصل؟"

The subject here is ‘you’ and  that's why we start with ‘are’.

الموضوع هنا هو "أنت" ولهذا نبدأ بـ "هي".

‘Are you coming to class?’

"هل أنت قادم إلى الفصل؟"

You can answer, ‘Yes I am.’ or ‘No, I'm not.’

يمكنك الإجابة ، "نعم أنا موجود". أو "لا ، أنا لست كذلك".

The next question says, ‘Is he preparing to study in Canada?’

السؤال التالي يقول ، "هل يستعد للدراسة في كندا؟"

The subject is ‘he’, and so we start with ‘is’.

الموضوع هو "هو" ، ولذا نبدأ بـ "هو".

The answer can be, ‘Yes, he is.’ or it can also be ‘No, he isn't.’

يمكن أن يكون الجواب ، "نعم ، هو كذلك." أو يمكن أن تكون أيضًا "لا ، هو ليس كذلك".

Finally the last question says, ‘Are they going out tonight?’

أخيرًا السؤال الأخير يقول ، "هل سيخرجون الليلة؟"

The subject here is ‘they’, and so we start with ‘are’.

الموضوع هنا هو "هم" ، ولذا نبدأ بـ "هم".

The answer can be ‘Yes, they are.’ or ‘No, they aren't.’

يمكن أن يكون الجواب "نعم ، هم كذلك". أو "لا ، ليسوا كذلك".

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

Now let's talk about the WH question  form for the present continuous tense.

الآن دعنا نتحدث عن صيغة سؤال WH لزمن المضارع المستمر.

I have some examples here

لدي بعض الأمثلة هنا

and you'll notice that we start with the WH questions:

وستلاحظ أننا نبدأ بأسئلة WH:

what, where, when, who, why, and how.

ماذا وأين ومتى ومن ولماذا وكيف.

What comes after?

ماذا بعد؟

You'll notice it's the ‘be’ verbs: ‘are’, ‘is’, and if the subject is ‘I’, ‘am’.

ستلاحظ أنها أفعال 'be': 'are' ، 'is' ، وإذا كان الفاعل هو 'I' ، 'am'.

So after that you have the subject and then the verb -ing.

بعد ذلك يكون لديك الفاعل ثم الفعل.

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

‘What are you doing?’

'ماذا تفعل؟'

I'm asking about right now.

أنا أسأل عنه الآن.

For example, ‘I'm teaching English.’

على سبيل المثال ، "أنا أدرس اللغة الإنجليزية".

‘Where are you going?’ ‘I'm going to the store.’

'إلى أين تذهب؟' "أنا ذاهب إلى المتجر."

‘When is it starting?’ ‘It's starting at 3.’

"متى يبدأ؟" "إنها تبدأ في 3."

I can be talking about a movie a show anything can be ‘it’.

يمكنني أن أتحدث عن فيلم أو عرض أي شيء يمكن أن يكون "هو".

‘Who is she talking to?’ ‘She's talking to Bob.’

'من الذي تتحدث إليه؟' "إنها تتحدث إلى بوب."

‘Why is she crying?’ ‘She's crying because she's sad.’

'لماذا هى تبكى؟' - إنها تبكي لأنها حزينة.

And finally, ‘How is it going?’ ‘It's going well.’

وأخيرًا ، "كيف الحال؟" 'انها تسير على ما يرام.'

For this checkup of the present continuous tense,

من أجل هذا الفحص للزمن المستمر ،

we'll look at how this tense can be used to  describe an action that's happening right now.

سننظر في كيفية استخدام هذا الزمن لوصف فعل يحدث الآن.

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

‘You -blank- learning English.’

"أنت-فارغة- تتعلم اللغة الإنجليزية."

Remember for this tense, we start  with the subject and the ‘be’ verb

تذكر في هذا الزمن ، نبدأ بالموضوع والفعل "be"

and then the verb ‘-ing’.

ثم الفعل "-ing".

We already have the verb ‘-ing’ here, so we need the ‘be’ verb.

لدينا بالفعل فعل "-ing" هنا ، لذلك نحتاج إلى فعل "be".

The subject in the first sentence is ‘you’.

الموضوع في الجملة الأولى هو "أنت".

For ‘you’, ‘we’, and ‘they’,  we use the ‘be’ verb - ‘are’,

بالنسبة إلى "you" و "نحن" و "هم" ، نستخدم "be" verb - "are" ،

so the correct answer is,

لذا فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ،

‘You are learning English’ right now.

"أنت تتعلم اللغة الإنجليزية" الآن.

The next sentence says,

الجملة التالية تقول ،

‘She _blank_ not watching TV.’

"إنها _ فارغة_ لا تشاهد التلفاز".

This is the negative form of  the present continuous tense.

هذا هو الشكل السلبي من الزمن المضارع المستمر.

We have the word ‘not’ before the verb ‘-ing’,

لدينا كلمة "ليس" قبل الفعل "-ing" ،

However, we're missing the ‘be’ verb again.

لكننا نفتقد فعل "be" مرة أخرى.

What is the be verb to use  if the subject is ‘she’?

ما هو الفعل الذي يجب استخدامه إذا كان الفاعل هو "هي"؟

the correct answer is ‘is’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هو".

‘She is not watching TV.’

"إنها لا تشاهد التلفاز."

This one says, ‘I _blank_ studying now.’

هذا يقول ، "أنا _ فارغة _ أدرس الآن".

The subject here is ‘I’.

الموضوع هنا هو "أنا".

Again think of the ‘be’ verb that goes before the subject ‘I’.

فكر مرة أخرى في فعل "be" الذي يسبق الفاعل "أنا".

The ‘be’ verb is ‘am’.

الفعل "be" هو "am".

‘I am studying now.’

'انا ادرس الان.'

We can also use a contraction and say, ‘I'm studying now’

يمكننا أيضًا استخدام الانكماش والقول ، "أنا أدرس الآن"

If we wanted to turn this into the negative form,

إذا أردنا تحويل هذا إلى الشكل السلبي ،

we can also say, ‘I'm not studying now.’

فيمكننا أيضًا أن نقول ، "أنا لا أدرس الآن".

Now, take a look at the next  sentence and find the mistake.

الآن ، ألق نظرة على الجملة التالية وابحث عن الخطأ.

‘Layla is watch a movie.’

"ليلى تشاهد فيلم".

Here we have the subject and the subject pronoun for Layla would be ‘she’.

هنا لدينا الفاعل والضمير الفاعل ليلى سيكون "هي".

We have the correct ‘be’ verb - ‘is’,

لدينا فعل "be" الصحيح - "is" ،

However, you'll notice we forgot  the ‘-ing’ at the end of the verb.

ومع ذلك ، ستلاحظ أننا نسينا "-ing" في نهاية الفعل.

We need to say, ‘watching’.

نحتاج أن نقول ، "مشاهدة".

‘Layla is watching a movie.’

"ليلى تشاهد فيلم".

The next sentence says,

الجملة التالية تقول ،

‘They playing soccer now.’

"إنهم يلعبون كرة القدم الآن".

What's missing?

ما المفقود؟

If you got it the correct answer is we need the ‘be’ verb – ‘are’

إذا حصلت عليها فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي أننا نحتاج إلى "يكون" فعل - "تكون"

because the subject is ‘they’.

لأن الفاعل هو "هم".

‘They are playing soccer now.’

"إنهم يلعبون كرة القدم الآن".

And finally, ‘What do you do?’

وأخيرًا ، "ماذا تفعل؟"

If you want to ask somebody  what they're doing right now,

إذا كنت تريد أن تسأل شخصًا ما عما يفعله الآن ،

you say, 'what’... and the ‘be’ verb – ‘are... you.. doing?’

فأنت تقول ، "ماذا" ... و "be" فعل - "هل .. أنت .. تفعل؟"

‘What are you doing?’

'ماذا تفعل؟'

Let's move on to the next practice.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الممارسة التالية.

For this checkup we'll talk about the present continuous tense

في هذا الفحص ، سنتحدث عن المضارع المستمر

and how it can be used to describe an action that started in the past and continues today.

وكيف يمكن استخدامه لوصف إجراء بدأ في الماضي ويستمر حتى اليوم.

It's a longer action.

إنه عمل أطول.

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على الجملة الأولى.

‘He _blank_ studying economics.’

"إنه _ blank_ يدرس الاقتصاد".

Remember for this tense, we take the  subject, a ‘be’ verb, and then verb ‘-ing’.

تذكر في هذا الزمن ، أننا نأخذ الفاعل ، فعل "be" ، ثم الفعل "-ing".

Here we already have the verb ‘-ing’, ‘studying’.

هنا لدينا بالفعل فعل "-ing" ، "يدرس".

So what are we missing?

إذن ما الذي نفتقده؟

The ‘be’ verb.

فعل "be".

The correct ‘be’ verb for  the subject ‘he’ is ‘is’.

فعل "be" الصحيح للموضوع "هو" هو "هو".

So, ‘He is studying economics.’

لذا ، "إنه يدرس الاقتصاد".

The next sentence says, ‘They're _blank_ for the fight.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "إنهم _ فارغون_ للقتال".

The verb we want to use is ‘train’.

الفعل الذي نريد استخدامه هو "تدريب".

Now we already have the 'be' verb here.

الآن لدينا فعل "be" هنا.

It's in the contraction ‘there’  because it's ‘they are’.

إنه في الانكماش "هناك" لأنه "هم".

All we have to do now is add ‘-ing’ to the verb.

كل ما علينا فعله الآن هو إضافة "-ing" إلى الفعل.

‘They're training for the fight these days.’

"إنهم يتدربون على القتال هذه الأيام".

And ‘We _blank_ teaching at the school.’

و "نحن _الفارغ_ ندرس في المدرسة".

Again we're missing the ‘be’ verb.

مرة أخرى نحن نفتقد فعل "be".

What is the ‘be’ verb for ‘we’?

ما هو فعل "كن" لـ "نحن"؟

The correct answer is ‘are’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "هي".

‘We are teaching at the school.’

"نحن ندرس في المدرسة".

Now let's look for the  mistakes in the next sentence.

لنبحث الآن عن الأخطاء في الجملة التالية.

‘Ben is study to become a doctor.’

"بن يدرس ليصبح طبيبا."

Can you find the error?

هل يمكنك العثور على الخطأ؟

Well we have the subject and we have the proper ‘be verb’.

حسنًا ، لدينا الفاعل ولدينا "الفعل" المناسب.

What we're missing is the ‘-ing’ at the end of ‘study’.

ما نفتقده هو "-ing" في نهاية "الدراسة".

The correct answer is, ‘Ben is studying to become a doctor’.

الإجابة الصحيحة هي أن بن يدرس ليصبح طبيباً.

Let's look at the next sentence.

لنلق نظرة على الجملة التالية.

‘I don't reading that book.’

"أنا لا أقرأ هذا الكتاب."

hmm ‘I don't reading that book.’

حسنًا ، "أنا لا أقرأ هذا الكتاب."

To form the negative in the present continuous, we don't use ‘do’ or ‘does’

لتشكيل السالب في المضارع المستمر ، لا نستخدم "do" أو "does"

We use the ‘be’ verb. What is the be verb for ‘I’?

نحن نستخدم فعل "be". ما هو فعل "أنا"؟

The correct answer is ‘am’.

الجواب الصحيح هو "أنا".

‘I am not reading that book.’

"أنا لا أقرأ هذا الكتاب."

There is no contraction for ‘am not’.

لا يوجد تقلص لـ "لست".

Finally, ‘They are to learn English.’

أخيرًا ، "هم يتعلمون اللغة الإنجليزية".

We have the subject and we have the correct ‘be’ verb,

لدينا الفاعل ولدينا فعل "be" الصحيح ،

but remember we need verb ‘-ing’.

لكن تذكر أننا نحتاج إلى فعل "-ing".

Therefore, the correct answer is,

لذلك ، فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ،

‘They are learning English.’

"إنهم يتعلمون اللغة الإنجليزية".

Let's move on to the next checkup.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الفحص التالي.

For this checkup we'll take a look at how the present continuous tense

في هذا الفحص ، سنلقي نظرة على كيفية استخدام المضارع المستمر

can be used to talk about future plans.

للتحدث عن الخطط المستقبلية.

Let's take a look.

لنلقي نظرة.

The first sentence says, ‘They're play a game tonight.’

الجملة الأولى تقول ، "إنهم يلعبون الليلة".

The verb we want to use is ‘play’.

الفعل الذي نريد استخدامه هو "تشغيل".

Remember we start with the subject  and here we have it, ‘they’.

تذكر أننا نبدأ بالموضوع وهنا لدينا ، "هم".

Then we have the ‘be’ verb.

ثم لدينا فعل "be".

In this case we used a contraction  for ‘they are – ‘they’re’.

في هذه الحالة استخدمنا الانكماش لـ "هم -" هم ".

That's correct.

هذا صحيح.

After that we have to add ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb,

بعد ذلك يتعين علينا إضافة "-ing" إلى نهاية الفعل ،

so the correct answer is, ‘They're playing a game tonight.’

لذا فإن الإجابة الصحيحة هي ، "إنهم يلعبون لعبة الليلة".

The next sentence says, 'We _blank_ not studying tomorrow.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "نحن _ فارغة_ لن ندرس غدًا".

Looks good but there's a word that's missing.

تبدو جيدة ولكن هناك كلمة مفقودة.

This is the negative form because we have ‘not’.

هذه هي الصورة السلبية لأن لدينا "لا".

We simply need the ‘be’ verb for ‘we’.

نحن ببساطة نحتاج فعل "be" ل "نحن".

The correct ‘be’ verb is ‘are’. ‘We are not studying tomorrow.’

فعل "be" الصحيح هو "are". "نحن لا ندرس غدا."

The next sentence says, ‘Lynn is _blank_ out tonight.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "لين" فارغة "الليلة".

and we want to use the verb ‘go’.

ونريد استخدام فعل "go".

Remember 'Lynn' and then the ‘be’ verb – ‘is’.

تذكر "Lynn" ثم "be" فعل - "is".

That's correct. All we have to do is add ‘-ing’.

هذا صحيح. كل ما علينا فعله هو إضافة "-ing".

‘Lynn is going out tonight.’

"لين ستخرج الليلة."

To make this negative you can say,

لجعل هذا الأمر سلبيًا ، يمكنك أن تقول ،

‘Lynn is not going out tonight.’ or ‘Lynn isn't going out tonight.’

"لين لن تخرج الليلة." أو "لين لن تخرج الليلة".

The next sentence says, ‘Laura isn't study this evening.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "لورا ليست تدرس هذا المساء."

Can you find the mistake?

يمكنك العثور على خطأ؟

Remember we have to add  ‘-ing’ to the end of the verb,

تذكر أنه يتعين علينا إضافة "-ing" إلى نهاية الفعل ،

so we need to say,

لذلك علينا أن نقول ،

‘Laura isn't studying this evening.’

"Laura لا تدرس هذا المساء."

The next sentence says,

الجملة التالية تقول ،

‘My sons will playing chess later.’

"ولداي سيلعبان الشطرنج لاحقًا".

We are talking about a future plan,

نحن نتحدث عن خطة مستقبلية ،

so you might be tempted to use ‘well’ or ‘will’, I'm sorry.

لذلك قد تميل إلى استخدام "حسنًا" أو "سوف" ، أنا آسف.

However, instead of saying ‘will’, we use the ‘be’ verb.

ومع ذلك ، بدلاً من قول "will" ، نستخدم فعل "be".

‘My sons are playing chess later.’

"ولداي يلعبان الشطرنج لاحقًا".

And finally, ‘She's not to eating dinner tonight.’

وأخيرًا ، "لن تأكل العشاء الليلة".

There's an extra word in here that we don't need.

هناك كلمة إضافية هنا لسنا بحاجة إليها.

What is it?

ما هذا؟

It's ‘to’.

انها ل'.

Remember, subject - ‘be’ verb, not verb ‘-ing’.

تذكر ، الفاعل - 'be' فعل ، وليس فعل '-ing'.

We do not need ‘to’ in this sentence.

لسنا بحاجة إلى "إلى" في هذه الجملة.

All right well that's the end of this checkup.

حسنًا ، هذه نهاية هذا الفحص.

Let's move on.

هيا لنذهب.

Good job, everyone.

عمل رائع جميعا.

See you in the next video.

نراكم في الفيديو التالي.

Hi, everyone.

مرحباً جميعاً.

I'm Esther.

انا استير.

In this video, I'm going to introduce the present perfect tense.

في هذا الفيديو ، سأقوم بتقديم زمن المضارع التام.

This tense can be used to talk about an action that happened in the past,

يمكن استخدام هذا الزمن للتحدث عن فعل حدث في الماضي ،

but when it happened is not very important or it’s unknown.

ولكن عندما يحدث ليس مهمًا جدًا أو غير معروف.

It can also be used to talk about an action that started in the past and continues in

يمكن استخدامه أيضًا للتحدث عن إجراء بدأ في الماضي ويستمر في

the present.

الوقت الحاضر.

We really want to emphasize how long that action has been happening.

نريد حقًا التأكيد على المدة التي استغرقها هذا الإجراء.

And finally, we use this tense to talk about a recent action.

وأخيرًا ، نستخدم هذا الزمن للتحدث عن إجراء حديث.

There's a lot to learn and a lot of important information, so keep watching.

هناك الكثير لنتعلمه والكثير من المعلومات المهمة ، لذا استمر في المشاهدة.

Let's talk about one usage of the present perfect tense.

لنتحدث عن استخدام واحد للمضارع التام.

This tense can be used to talk about an action that happened in the past.

يمكن استخدام هذا الزمن للتحدث عن فعل حدث في الماضي.

But when it happened is not important or not known.

لكن متى حدث ذلك ليس مهمًا أو غير معروف.

However, this action is  important to the conversation 

ومع ذلك ، فإن هذا الإجراء مهم للمحادثة في

right now.

الوقت الحالي.

Let's take a look at some examples.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على بعض الأمثلة.

The first one says, ‘I have been to Canada.’

الأول يقول ، "لقد زرت كندا".

What we do here is we start with the subject, ‘I’.

ما نفعله هنا هو أننا نبدأ بالموضوع "أنا".

For ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘we’, and ‘they’, we follow with ‘have’.

بالنسبة إلى "أنا" و "أنت" و "نحن" و "هم" ، نتبع كلمة "لديك".

After that we use the past participle of the verb.

بعد ذلك نستخدم النعت الماضي من الفعل.

In this case, the verb is ‘be’.

في هذه الحالة ، الفعل هو "be".

And so the past participle is ‘been’.

وهكذا فإن النعت الماضي هو "كان".

‘I have been to Canada.’

"لقد زرت كندا".

The next sentence says, ‘My cousins have seen the movie.’

الجملة التالية تقول ، "لقد شاهد أبناء عمومتي الفيلم".

My cousins is a ‘they’.

أبناء عمومتي هم "هم".

And so again, we follow with ‘have’.

ومرة أخرى ، نتابع بـ "have".

And the past participle of see is ‘seen’.

والماضي من الرؤية "يُرى".

‘They have seen the movie.’

"لقد شاهدوا الفيلم".

Or ‘My cousins have seen the movie.’

أو "أبناء عمي شاهدوا الفيلم".

The next example says, ‘Chad has gone home.’

المثال التالي يقول ، "عاد تشاد إلى وطنه".

Chad is a ‘he’.

تشاد "هو".

For ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘it’, we follow with ‘has’.

بالنسبة إلى "هو" و "هي" و "هي" ، نتبعها بـ "لديها".

Then, the past participle ‘gone’ is for the verb ‘go’.

ثم ، النعت الماضي "ذهب" هو فعل "الذهاب".

‘Chad has gone home.’

"لقد عاد تشاد إلى دياره".

And finally, ‘My phone has been fixed.’

وأخيرًا ، تم إصلاح هاتفي.

My phone is an ‘it’.

هاتفي هو "هو".

Therefore, I use ‘has’.

لذلك ، أستخدم "has".

And then I need the past participle of ‘be’ – ‘been’.

وبعد ذلك أحتاج إلى النعت الماضي "كن" - "كان".

‘My phone has been fixed.’

تم إصلاح هاتفي.

Let's move on to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

The present perfect tense is also used to describe an action that started in the past

يستخدم المضارع التام أيضًا لوصف فعل بدأ في الماضي

and continues in the present.

ويستمر في الوقت الحاضر.

‘for’ and since’ are common expressions used with the present perfect tense.

'for' and since 'هي تعبيرات شائعة تستخدم مع المضارع التام.

Let's take a look at these examples.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على هذه الأمثلة.

‘I have worked there since 2002.’

"لقد عملت هناك منذ عام 2002."

You'll notice we start with the subject.

ستلاحظ أننا نبدأ بالموضوع.

If it's ‘I’, ‘you’ or ‘we’, we have ‘have’.

إذا كانت "أنا" أو "أنت" أو "نحن" ، فلدينا "لدينا".

Then the past participle of the verb.

ثم النعت الماضي من الفعل.

In this case - ‘worked’.

في هذه الحالة - "عملت".

What you'll notice here is that we also have ‘since 2002’.

ما ستلاحظه هنا هو أن لدينا أيضًا "منذ 2002".

This shows when the action started, so with the expression ‘since’, you need to use

يوضح هذا وقت بدء الإجراء ، لذلك مع التعبير "منذ" ، تحتاج إلى استخدام

a specific point in time.

نقطة زمنية محددة.

The next example does the same thing.

المثال التالي يفعل نفس الشيء.

‘You have had a car since last year.’

"لديك سيارة منذ العام الماضي."

Again, we use ‘since’, so we have a specific point in time - ‘last year’.

مرة أخرى ، نستخدم "منذ" ، لذلك لدينا نقطة زمنية محددة - "العام الماضي".

Take a look at the next example.

الق نظرة على المثال التالي.

‘Anna has liked him for weeks.’

"لقد أحبه آنا منذ أسابيع."

In this case the subject is ‘Anna’.

في هذه الحالة الموضوع هو "آنا".

Which is a ‘she’, and so we use ‘has’.

وهي "هي" ، ولذا نستخدم كلمة "has".

Then the past participle ‘liked’.

ثم "أحب" الماضي.

However, at the end of the sentence, we see ‘for weeks’.

ومع ذلك ، في نهاية الجملة ، نرى "لأسابيع".

Not ‘since weeks’.

ليس "منذ أسابيع".

When we use ‘for’, we talk about the duration.

عندما نستخدم "لأجل" ، نتحدث عن المدة.

We explain how long this action has been true.

نفسر كم من الوقت كان هذا الإجراء صحيحًا.

And finally, ‘We have eaten lunch here for 3 months.’

وأخيرًا ، "لقد تناولنا الغداء هنا لمدة 3 أشهر."

Again, the sentence ends with ‘for 3 months’.

مرة أخرى ، تنتهي الجملة بـ "لمدة 3 أشهر".

So we show the duration.

لذلك نعرض المدة.

Let's move on to the next usage.

دعنا ننتقل إلى الاستخدام التالي.

In addition, the present perfect tense can be used to describe an action that recently

بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، يمكن استخدام المضارع التام لوصف فعل

stopped.

توقف مؤخرًا.

Let’s take a look at some examples.

دعنا نلقي نظرة على بعض الأمثلة.

‘I have just been to the doctor,’

لقد زرت الطبيب للتو ،

So just like for all the other usages, we start with the subject,

لذلك تمامًا كما هو الحال مع جميع الاستخدامات الأخرى ، نبدأ بالموضوع ،

‘have’ or ‘has’, and the past participle.

"لديك" أو "لديها" ، والفاعلية الماضية.

But you'll notice here, I used the word ‘just’ between ‘have’ and the verb.

لكن ستلاحظ هنا ، أنني استخدمت كلمة "just" بين "have" والفعل.

‘I have just been to the doctor.’

"لقد زرت الطبيب للتو".

This shows that it happened very recently.

هذا يدل على أنه حدث في الآونة الأخيرة.

The next example says, ‘James has just seen his new baby.’

المثال التالي يقول ، "لقد رأى جيمس للتو طفله الجديد."

Again, just goes in between ‘have’ or ‘has’ and the verb.

مرة أخرى ، ما عليك سوى الانتقال بين "have" أو "has" والفعل.

Take a look at the next example.

الق نظرة على المثال التالي.

It says, ‘She has already been to China.’

It says, 'She has already been to China.'

‘already’ is another word you can use to show that this action recently happened.

'already' is another word you can use to show that this action recently happened.

However, ‘already’ can also be moved to the end of the sentence.

However, 'already' can also be moved to the end of the sentence.

So it's perfectly fine to say, ‘She has been to China already.’

So it's perfectly fine to say, 'She has been to China already.'

And in the last example, ‘We have recently visited Tom.’

And in the last example, 'We have recently visited Tom.'

Again, you can put this word between ‘have’ or ‘has’ and the verb.

Again, you can put this word between 'have' or 'has' and the verb.

Or you can also put it at the end of the sentence.

Or you can also put it at the end of the sentence.

‘We have visited Tom recently.’

'We have visited Tom recently.'

Let's move on.

You can also use a contraction and say 'I haven't been to Europe.'

The next sentence says, ‘It has not rained for 3 months.’

The next sentence says, 'It has not rained for 3 months.'

Again, we put the ‘not’ between the ‘has’ and the verb.

Again, we put the 'not' between the 'has' and the verb.

‘It has not rained for 3 months.’

'It has not rained for 3 months.'

Here we have a time expression to show the duration.

Here we have a time expression to show the duration.

The next example says, ‘Teddy hasn't driven for 2 years.’

The next example says, 'Teddy hasn't driven for 2 years.'

We used the contraction here for ‘has’ and ‘not’ – ‘hasn't’.

We used the contraction here for 'has' and 'not' – 'hasn't'.

And then we use the time expression ‘for 2 years’ at the end of the sentence.

And then we use the time expression 'for 2 years' at the end of the sentence.

And finally, the last sentence says, ‘My sons haven't played soccer since 2010.’

And finally, the last sentence says, 'My sons haven't played soccer since 2010.'

We see another contraction here for ‘have not’ – ‘haven't’.

We see another contraction here for 'have not' – 'haven't'.

‘My sons haven't played soccer since 2010.’

'My sons haven't played soccer since 2010.'

This time expression uses ‘since’.

And so we mention a specific point and time.
