Guys can I offer the topic for discussion? Let`s talk about our experiance in learning English? When do you start? What do you do it for? Which texbooks do you use? Which courses have you got and etc

I started couple months ago. Everyday i try watch TV-shows (or movies), read and write as much as possible. I don't write unknown words in dictionary ... or something like that... because if you meet the word often, you'll remember this word. I don't use any textbooks. Some of grammar rules, any advices etc. i try to find on-line. But i don't really care about grammar. I think (maybe i am mistaken) grammar will be better, when you hear english often. It's like a child, who know his native language, but he don't know any grammar rules.

Do you not use dictionary ever??? But how do you know words which you are using now?

I mean, i don't try to remember words. I don't write them in dictionary (remember our terrible school dictionaries). I just checking in google translate, how to write words without mistakes, before i write something.

But I wasn't speaking it the last 5 years)

I think it's Present Perfect.

 

[Lisa_Li]

I think it's Present Perfect.

But if TS are speaking now can he use Past Perfekt in this case?

TS is

He wrote about

the last 5 years

.
Not now.

But I wasn't speaking it the last 5 years)
He hasn’t spoken for the last 5 years

 

[Lisa_Li]

I hasn’t spoken for the last 5 years

Do you mean "I haven`t..."?



Is it ok in Past Perfect - I wasn`t speaking english 5 years when new teacher came to our form?

 

[Snegyrochka]

Угу. там очепятка. Поправила.

Is it ok in Past Perfect - I wasn`t speaking english 5 years when new teacher came to our form?

Думаю можно что-то слепить. Событие до какого то момента в прошлом. Но наверное это будет Past Perfect Continuous.
Напишите это предложение по русски. Я попробую перевести.
И еще. Что подразумевалось под "to our form"?

 

[Lisa_Li]

Не разберусь никак с Past Perfect Continuous. Я имела ввиду что-то типа такого - Я не говорила по-английски уже 5 лет, когда в наш класс пришел новый учитель.
***
to our form - имела ввиду "в наш класс", но это неправильно да? Почему-то вспомнилось, что вроде в школе мы тетради по англ. подписывали "form 7B", но похоже, что я что-то путаю

 

[Snegyrochka]

Я бы сказала как-то так:

Указан период времени for (Past Perfect Continuous)
I had not been speaking English for 5 years when a new teacher came in our class.

Не указан период времени (Past Continuous)
I wasn`t speaking English when a new teacher came in our class.

Try to read the 'Fifty shades of Grey' - that's much interesting.

No! I'm studing english grammar!

What is modern?

The "Fifty shades of Grey" - the most popular modern book

 

[Snegyrochka]

The "Fifty shades of Grey" - the most popular modern book

Easy (very easy) grammar, but a lot of difficult words (especially in the red room).

Something like that:

[Ribbentrop]
