B. GRAMMAR= STATIVE VERBS

Stative verbs
In English, there are two main types of verbs: stative verbs and dynamic verbs. Stative verbs
describe a state or condition, while dynamic verbs describe an action.
Stative verbs aren't usually used in the present continuous form.
Stative verbs are often used with adjectives and adverbs to describe a state or condition. For
example
"I am happy" "I am very happy." "The tea tastes sour."

Stative verbs often relate to:

➢ Thoughts and opinions: agree, believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know, mean, recognize,
remember, suspect, think, understand.

➢ Feelings and emotions: dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish

➢ Senses and perceptions: appear, be, feel, hear, see, seem, smell, taste

➢ Possession and measurement: belong, have, measure, own, possess, weigh

Verbs that are sometimes stative and dynamic

Some verbs can refer to states or actions, depending on the context.

I think it's a good idea. ~ state Stative verb

Wait a moment! I'm thinking. ~ action Dynamic verb

The first sentence expresses an opinion. It is a mental state, so we use present simple.
In the second example the speaker is actively processing thoughts about something.
It is an action in progress, so we use present continuous.

Other verbs are

have, see, taste, be, agree, appear, doubt, feel, guess, hear, imagine, look, measure,
remember, smell, weigh, wish.

 B. GRAMMAR= PRESENT PERFECT

Present perfect
The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb.

The affirmative form of the present perfect tense is made with the following structure:

Subject + have/has + past participle

I have eaten lasagna. She has worked alone there.

We use the present perfect:

1. for something that started in the past and continues in the present:

• She has lived in Liverpool all her life.

2. when we are talking about our experience up to the present:

• I have seen that film before.

We can use the words "for" and "since" with the present perfect tense to talk about how long an action has
been going on. For example:

• I have lived in this house for 10 years.

• I have been working here since last month.

We can also use the word "already" with the present perfect tense to talk about something that has
happened before a certain time. For example:

• I have already eaten.

• She has already finished her homework

Never is used with the present perfect tense to talk about things that you have not done at any time in your
life. For example:
• I have never been to the doctor
• She has never talked to me.

7.Read the email carefully, Then, write back an email to Sandy, Use present perfect
tense.

Dear Roberto,

I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to you today to share my
recent life experience at university.

Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a service-learning

project with my classmates. I have never done it before. We
volunteered at a local soup kitchen, where we served food to the
homeless and needy. It has been a truly eye-opening experience, and
it made me realize how fortunate I have been my whole life.
People at the soup kitchen were all so grateful for our help, and it
made me feel good to give back to my community.

I would love to hear about your life experiences at UTB University.

What has been your most incredible life experience there? Write back
soon!

Yours Sandy,

I hope this email finds you well. It's wonderful to hear about
your recent experience at the soup kitchen; it sounds truly
impactful. Over here at UTB University, I've had several
incredible experiences. One that stands out is my
involvement in a research project on sustainable energy
solutions. I've collaborated with a diverse team and delved
into innovative approaches, broadening my perspective
significantly. It has truly enriched my university journey.
Looking forward to catching up soon!
Warm regards,
Roberto

B. GRAMMAR= PRESENT PERFECT

Present perfect

The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that have happened in the past but have a
connection to the present. For example, you can use the present perfect to talk about something that
happened recently, something that has happened for a period of time, or something that has happened
repeatedly.

The negative form of the present perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" and the
negative word "not." For example:
• I have not eaten yet.
• She has never been to France.
• We haven't finished our homework.
• Sara has not done her homework.
• Peter hasn't chosen her dress.

The interrogative form of the present perfect is formed with the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" in
front of the subject, followed by the main verb in the past participle form. For example:
• Have you ever been to China?
• Has he finished his work yet?
• Have they seen the new movie?

The words "yet" and "ever" can be used with the present perfect to add more meaning to the
sentence.

➢ "Yet" is used to express that something has not happened yet, but it is expected to happen in
the near future. For example:
• I haven't finished my homework yet, but I will soon.
• Have you met my new friend yet?

➢ "Ever" is used to ask about whether something has ever happened before. For example:
• Have you ever been to Europe?
• Has she ever won an award?

Common injuries in teenagers and young adults

Teenagers and young adults are at an increased risk of injuries due to a number of
factors, including their physical development, risk-
taking behaviors, and participation in sports and
other activities. Some of the most common injuries in
this age group include:
Sports injuries: Sports injuries are a major cause of
injury in teenagers and young adults. Common sports
injuries include:
• Ankle sprains: Ankle sprains are the most
common sports injury, and they can occur in
any sport that involves sudden changes in
direction or landing from a jump.
• Concussions: Concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury that can occur
from a blow to the head or body. Concussions can cause a variety of symptoms,
including headache, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.
• Muscle strains: Muscle strains are tears in the muscle fibers. They can occur in
any muscle, but they are most common in the legs, back, and shoulders.
Overuse injuries: Overuse injuries are injuries that occur from repetitive use of a
muscle or joint. Common overuse injuries in teenagers and young adults include:
• Runner's knee: Runner's knee is an inflammation of the kneecap tendon. It is
common in runners, but it can also occur in other sports that involve repetitive
