Present Tense In MSA

Secondly, range of similarities and differences are perceived in the sets of rules constraining the language structure of Auslan and English. In comparison to English, sign languages are visual languages, hence it is distinct in modality and word-ordering structure (Damian, 2011). To illustrate, the words of spoken languages are delivered in a fairly linear pattern, both in time and on paper (Bejan, 2001). This linear sentence structure is observed in English, but the same is not demonstrated in Auslan. However, despite this distinction, the order of signs remains of importance to produce meaningful sentences. This is because Auslan conveys many grammatical features found in the English language at phonological, morphological and syntactic levels (Johnston & Schembri, 2007). An individual’s poor English grammar is attributed for sentence fragments. These poorly formed English sentences occur when a sentence lacks a subject, a verb or do not express a complete thought (Schuster, 2006). In the same manner, the wrong ordering of signs will affect the fluency of the language. For instance, the linear English sentence ‘many black cars have disappeared’ will be signed as MANY-BLACK-CAR-DISAPPEAR (Johnston & Schembri, 2007). In this example, it is important that the determiner (MANY) and adjective (BLACK) are situated before the noun (CAR) (Johnston & Schembri, 2007). This is done for the purpose of identifying the noun within the sentence, which subsequently lead to the formation

I tried to learn how to apply the vocabulary and tense while reading. (need to develop how to connect in next sentence…) Believe it or not, I landed on the job in May 20, 1992 as quality control inspector position for small electronic company. I passed the first interview in my life within seven month in United State, and of course with minimum paid. With the curiosity in my blood, I read every blue print, every specification in the department. I had brought into my supervisor attention that we had over inspected based on specification which had saved significant money for company. Shortly after, I became outstanding employee among of minimum labored workers since I knew how to read, to write and comprehend the facts. Within couple years, I received promotion to become leader of the quality control department. After two years, I received promotion to production control supervisor. Obviously, the promotions prove to me that reading and writing makes me much confident in life. As I got older, I really absorb the meaning of “Go to study, go to read your books if you want to have a better life,” simple phrase from my grandma and my mom.

Sonia is very confident when using both present simple (using the auxiliary verb DO in interrogative sentences and DON’T in negative sentences, placing adverbs and conjugating the verbs with He, she and It correctly) and past simple tenses (using the auxiliary verb DID in interrogative sentences and DIDN’t in negative sentences –and the verbs in the base form - and being aware of regular and irregular verbs).

Which of the following time expressions is not commonly used with the present continuous tense? (seldom)

* Review the formation and use of the perfect active, perfect passive, and present active participles 1.1;1.2

Secondly, she attempts to use the past simple tense, but cannot form it properly (“I was study”).

Adjectival clauses describe or modify nouns or pronouns. If the noun or pronoun modified is negated, nonexistent or indefinite, then the verb in the modifying clause will be in the subjunctive; if the noun modified is a definite one, then the indicative is used.

Feruza uses the right verbs but uses the wrong form of the verbs, as in the example provided above. Here is one more example:

I will start by discussing what was particularly challenging about this project. Modals are a highly complex area of grammar both in English and Russian. Several of the texts I have consulted for my project remark on the difficulty of teaching and learning modals. In English, there is a certain level of ambiguity when it comes to the meanings of modals. Depending on what context they are used in, modals can mean several different things and fall into two main categories: epistemic of deontic (Haan, 1995). The modal I am focusing on, “must” or “dolžen,” corresponds “semantically only to the root or “fictive” modals in English. This fact is the very core of great pedagogical difficulty in teaching these Russian modal auxiliaries to English speaking students” (Croft, 1975). Initially, it was challenging even finding articles about Russian modals. The articles I discovered did not have a comprehensive list of Russian modals which made it more difficult to understand. This area of grammar is widely studied in English, but not so in Russian. “Corpus investigations of modality in other languages is lagging behind,” (Haan, 1995) which is why it was difficult to find a Russian corpus to analyze for
