Review useful patterns for your message
This week adds no new tense. Choose a pattern for your message: use be for a current name, job or place; the present simple for a routine; be + an -ing verb for an action now; can + a basic verb for ability; and, as an optional extension, was/were for past places or states. Check who the sentence is about, whether it is about now or the past, and whether it needs be or another verb. Use a basic verb after do, does and can. When reporting a text or recording, use the actual facts. Ask if a fact is missing. Finishing this week does not automatically confirm A1 certification.
