I switch on our TV set only to check time and adjust our clocks (after the change to winter or summer time). KING. All hail, sweet madam, and fair time of day! PRINCESS OF FRANCE. 'Fair' in 'all hail' is foul, as I conceive. ;)

Loyal Member Posts: 60 27/01/12 5:02 AM	I like spending my time is my computer, i think there's a lot of interesting stuff than TV. But mostly i like watching comedy show or Biography. I like CNBC too even i just understand only half of them. Did anyone ever putt TV on just because want to feel not lonely? You know like You in your computer but you turn on the TV only to hear the sound? Last Edited By: Sonia 27/01/12 5:06 AM. Edited 1 time.

PAST TENSE SIMPLE I watched the show SOME TIME AGO. (The past simple is used to refer to finished periods or moments of time. It refers to a definite past. Thus, it is often used with time adverbials such as last night, some time ago, in 1985, earlier today, at six o clock this morning, the last time, the first time, etc. - BBC) PRESENT PERFECT I have just watched the show. I have watched the show. PAST TENSE SIMPLE PRESENT PERFECT ------------------------ Who is Donald Triumph? Do you mean Donald Trump? "If you can read this, thank a teacher."

Super Member Posts: 148 30/01/12 7:41 PM	@ hekner I don’t understand your interpretation. Why does the position of the adverbial matter?

Moderator Super Member Posts: 10160 30/01/12 7:58 PM Moderator	Oh, I think "Some time ago I watched the show ..." is correct, too. What I mean is that time adverbials such as last night, some time ago, in 1985,* etc. are not used with the Present Perfect.* "If you can read this, thank a teacher."

I'm new, say "Hi!" Posts: 2 31/01/12 11:36 AM	I think, nowadays Internet is more popular than TV. Any kind of work, study, teaching, cooking, etc ever needs Internet, so it is easy to get information from it.

Super Member Posts: 38321 25/03/12 7:30 AM Your Teacher	Remove this ad Hi Shikha. I'm not sure how this slipped through, but "information" is uncountable, so you can't have "another one". You could have another piece of information though. So:- Here is some more informative information. Here is another bit of informative information. But you see, I catch the eventually. Hi Hocon, I think that TV will simply move to the Internet, with the BBC iPlayer and 5Online, it's already happening. Your Teacher http://www.learn-english-network.org
