ROTEIRO

MELHORE SEU INGLÊS PODCAST 116 – Past continuous (I was doing)

Yesterday Karen and Joe played tennis. They started at
10 o’clock and finished at 11.30.
So, at 10.30 they were playing tennis.

they were playing = they were in the middle of playing, they had not finished

was/were + -ing is the past continuous:

I was doing something = I was in the middle of doing it at a certain time.

The action or situation started before this time, but had not finished:

This time last year I was living in Hong Kong.
What were you doing at 10 o’clock last night?
I waved to Helen, but she wasn’t looking

Compare I was doing (past continuous) and I did (past simple)

I was doing (= in the middle of an action)

We were walking home when I met Dan. (in the middle of walking home)

I did (= complete action)

We walked home after the party last night. (= all the way, completely)

I was doing (= in the middle of an action)

Kate was watching TV when we arrived.

I did (= complete action)

Kate watched TV a lot when she was ill last year

You can say that something happened (past simple) in the middle of something else (past continuous)

Matt phoned while we were having dinner.

It was raining when I got up.

I saw you in the park yesterday. You were sitting on the grass and reading a book.

I hurt my back while I was working in the garden.

But we use the past simple to say that one thing happened after another:

I was walking along the road when I saw Dan. So I stopped, and we talked for a while.

Some verbs (for example, know and want) are not normally used in continuous forms (is + -ing, was + -ing etc.).

We were good friends. We knew each other well. (not we were knowing)

I was enjoying the party, but Chris wanted to go home. (not was wanting)

The following verbs are not normally used in the present continuous:

like | want | need | prefer | know | realise | understand | recognise |
believe | suppose | remember | mean | belong | fit | contain | consist seem |

Hello everyone! In this MELHORE SEU INGLÊS – IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH PODCAST, I will talk about how to use AS IF and AS THOUGH and LIKE !


As if and as though are conjunctions.

We use as if and as though to make comparisons. They have a similar meaning. We use as if and as though to talk about an imaginary situation or a situation that may not be true but that is likely or possible. As if is more common than as though:

The floods were rising and it was as if it was the end of the world.

It looks as if they’ve had a shock.

It looks as though you’ve not met before.

We can use both as if and as though followed by a non-finite clause or a prepositional phrase:

She moved her lips as if to smile.

They were shouting as though in panic.

As if and as though commonly follow the verbs feel and look:

She felt as if all her worries had gone.

They felt as though they had been given the wrong information.

I’ve got so much work it looks as if I’ll have to stay at home this evening.

In informal English, like can be used in a similar way to as if, though it is not always considered correct in formal contexts:

It felt like it could snow at any minute.

Hello everyone! In this MELHORE SEU INGLÊS – IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH PODCAST, I will talk about How to use HAD BETTER and IT’S TIME!


Had better: form and meaning

We use had better to refer to the present or the future, to talk about actions we think people should do or which are desirable in a specific situation. The verb form is always had, not have. We normally shorten it to ’d better in informal situations. It is followed by the infinitive without to:

It’s five o’clock. I’d better go now before the traffic gets too bad.

Not: I’d better to go now.

The democratic movement had better concentrate on the immediate issues of the economy and security. (more formal)

Had better is a strong expression. We use it if we think there will be negative results if someone does not do what is desired or suggested:

She’d better get here soon or she’ll miss the opening ceremony.

Spoken English:

Sometimes people say had best instead of had better, especially in informal speaking. This sounds slightly less strong and less direct:

You’d best leave it till Monday. There’s no one in the office today.

Had better: negative and question forms

The negative of had better is had better not (or ’d better not):

I’d better not leave my bag there. Someone might steal it.

You’d better not tell Elizabeth about the broken glass – she’ll go crazy!

The question form of had better is made by inverting the subject and had. This means the same as should, but is more formal:

Had I better speak to Joan first before I send this form off? What do you think?

Had we better leave a note for the delivery guy to take the parcel next door?

Negative questions with had better are more common than affirmative ones:

Hadn’t we better ring the school and tell them Liam is sick?

Hadn’t you better switch your computer off? It might overheat if you leave it on.

Had better or be better, be best?

We use had better to give advice in a specific situation. We use the phrase be better or be best + to-infinitive for more general suggestions:

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. (‘It’s better to be safe than sorry’ is a saying which means that you should be careful before taking any action.)

I think it would be best to speak to the people in the video shop to see what they recommend.

Had better or would rather, would prefer?

We don’t use had better when we talk about preferences. We use would rather or would prefer.

Compare

I’d better get a taxi. The buses are so slow.

It is a good idea, better, or advisable to get a taxi.

I’d rather get a taxi. I don’t like buses.

I prefer to get a taxi.

Had better: typical errors

  • We use had better to give specific advice, not to talk about obligations or requirements; instead, we use have to, have got to or must:

You have to (or must) hold a full, valid driving licence to hire a car.

Not: You’d better hold a full, valid driving licence to hire a car.

See also:

  • We don’t use had better to talk about preferences; instead, we use would rather or would prefer:

They offered her a job in Warsaw, but she said she’d rather work in a smaller city. (or ... she’d prefer to work ...)

Not: ... she’d better work ...

  • We don’t use had better to make ordinary suggestions or recommendations:

Auckland is a great place to visit. I’d recommend you take a boat trip across the bay and see some of the islands. Then you can find a nice restaurant for lunch. There are plenty of them.

Not: You’d better take a boat trip across the bay and see some of the islands. Then you’d better find a nice restaurant for lunch.
