Present perfect + ever / never Units 1 and 2
The Present perfect can be used with ever in an interrogative clause and with never in a
negative clause:
Have you ever been to Paris?
She has never met my family.
Present perfect vs. Past simple Unit 3
The Present perfect is used for past actions where the time is not specified, while the Past simple
is used for actions that occurred in a past period of time which is now over:
They’ve moved to France. (They don’t live in Italy now).
They lived in Italy. (They live in France now).
be going to vs. will Unit 3
Be going to (present of be + going to + base form of verb) expresses future intention:
She’s going to help you.
What are you going to do? I’m going to stay in town.
It can also describe certainty about an event taking place in the future:
It’s going to rain.
Will is used to express expectation, hope or prediction of a future event. The construction follows
the pattern: subject + will (’ll) + base form of verb:
I think she will (she’ll) come with us.
Will can also be used to express an immediate decision, a promise or an offer. In this case it is
usually contracted to ’ll:
I’ll do it.
I’ll help you.
The negative form is will + not (contraction: won’t).
She won’t be here next week.
In the interrogative form will comes before the subject:
Will he come back?
would Unit 3
Would is used to form the conditional tense of a verb:
If you won the lottery, what would you do? (second conditional)
It is also used to:
• invite someone to do something:
Would you like to come to the cinema?
• offer someone something:
Would you like some tea?
