Review Tenses 3 (Future Simple / Be going to))

Future Simple (I will work / Will he work? / The won't work) is used for PREDICTIONS (προβλέψεις), WILLINGNESS (προθυμία), SUDDEN DECISIONS (ξαφνική απόφαση), PERSONAL OPINION (προσωπική γνώμη) especially with the expressions I THINK, I BELIEVE, IN MY OPINION, ...

BE GOING TO + VERB (I'm going to work / Is he going to work / They are going to work) is for LOGICAL PREDICTIONS (λογική πρόβλεψη - που κάπου στηρίζεται), and PLANS / INTENTIONS (σχεδια / προθέσεις = πράξεις που έχουμε αποφασίσει να πραγματοποιήσουμε)

Review of Tenses 2 (Present Perfect - Past Simple)

Present Perfect (I have finished / Has he finished ? / They haven't finished) : is used for experiences we have already have or haven't had yet.
OR : for activities that started time ago and haven't finished yet (already, just, yet, since, for,...)

Past simple: I played / Did he play? / She didn't play : is used for activities we did in the past. They are finished and completed (yesterday, last Monday/week/month/year, when..., in 2000, etc)

Unit 5 Grammar: Modal Verbs

Θυμηθείτε! Τα modals (must, can, could, should, ...) ακολουθούνται πάντα από ένα άλλο ρήμα στην αρχική του μορφή (χωρίς να κλίνεται!)

π.χ.: John must study all the vocabulary.

Mark should eat all her food!

Maria may come to the party, but I'm not sure.

MUST = πρέπει

MUSTN'T = απαγορεύεται

CAN = μπορώ

COULD = μπορούσα

SHOULD = θα έπρεπε (συμβουλή!!)

SHOULDN'T = δεν θά' πρεπε (συμβουλή ή κριτική!)

MAY = ίσως, πιθανόν

Το SHOULD (θα έπρεπε) / SHOULDN'T (δεν θα έπρεπε) τα χρησιμοποιούμε για συμβουλές!

To MAY (ίσως) χρησιμοποιείται όταν δεν είμαστε σίγουροι για κάτι.

Grammar: Present Continuous (Future meaning)

READ the examples!!!!

We use the present continuous to talk about fixed arrangements in the future (tomorrow, tonight, next week, etc)

Xρησιμοποιούμε present continuous για να μιλήσουμε για κάτι που έχουμε ήδη κανονίσει να κάνουμε σύντομα (π.χ. ραντεβού για απόψε, αύριο, μεθαύριο, σε λίγες μέρες σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα)
