WILL future expressing certainty, an engagement/promise #ReallyRealGrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Boeiende lectuur over onderwijs met de zo noodzakelijke nuance in dit debat. (Behalve misschien in de titel dan) www.demorgen.be/nieuws/colle...

Pedro de Bruyckere: ...and those lessons in media literacy and sufficient background knowledge? They’re becoming more critical than ever, I think. theeconomyofmeaning.com/2025/01/09/t...

The Guardian view on humanities in universities: closing English Literature courses signals a crisis

Classroom for the day. Another CPD session for #CNO. This one’s about listening activities at lower and intermediate level. #elt

Present perfect simple for a completed action with current relevance and a clear example of the use of ‘I’d like’. #ReallyRealGrammar #LinguisticLandscapes

Talks over return of Parthenon marbles to Athens are ‘well advanced’

Great experience to present together with Frank Brisard & Astrid De Wit from @UAntwerpen at CNO about English tenses and how to teach (about) them, with lots of #ReallyRealGrammar #ELT

Two present simple questions without to do or a subject #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Two examples of present continuous with focus on the activities and ongoingness. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Both a present and a past fact (at least in the eyes of the copywriter) - present and past simple #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Quite funny example of present continuous for emphasis and a present perfect simple for a completed action with present relevance. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

2 similar conditional phrases, situated less than 2 metres apart, one starting with the if-clause, the other with the main clause. Twice imperative, once with a present simple (factual) once with would+infinitive (more hypothetical) #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Question without to be or subject, but still perfectly clear. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Present perfect simple for a recently completed action, a gerund and a present simple question without auxiliary ‘do’ #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

A conditional type 2. A hypothetical or unreal present. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Present continuous question without ‘to be’. Should this be in our #reallyrealgrammar books? #linguisticlandscapes

Present perfect simple with ‘before’ expressing a period up to now #reallyrealgrammar

Will+infinitive expressing a promise, an engagement #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Great example of present perfect simple expressing a present (relevant) result. Also occurences of adjectives after ‘look’ and ‘feel’ and a WILL future. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Notice describing a typical conditional situation #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Thank you for + ING-form #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

Spotted this (hilarious) example of a Will future expressing a promise #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

An example that illustrates that there's really no such thing as state and action verbs. Only state and dynamic meanings as we see in 'She's always wanting' here. #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes

growing: typical use of an ING-form (present participle) in advertising #reallyrealgrammar #linguisticlandscapes
