ما ستتعلمه
أهلاً بك يا بطل! لقد وصلت الآن إلى مرحلة مفصلية في رحلتك لتعلم الإنجليزية. في هذا الفصل، سنفك معاً الشفرة التي يقع فيها الكثيرون: متى نستخدم الـ Present Simple ومتى نستخدم الـ Present Continuous؟ تخيل أنك تصف لصديقك روتينك اليومي المعتاد (Simple)، وفجأة تريد لفت انتباهه لحدث غريب يقع أمامك في هذه اللحظة (Continuous). ستتعلم كيف تنتقل بينهما بسلاسة ودقة. ولأننا نطمح للاحتراف، سنقوم بمراجعة شاملة لـ 8 أزمنة أساسية في مستوى B1، لتصبح قواعدك ثابتة كالصخر. ستكتشف أيضاً سر أفعال الحواس مثل Look وSound وSmell، وكيف أنها تتبع بصفات وليس ظروفاً، ولماذا نادراً ما نستخدمها في صيغة المستمر. كما سنضع النقاط على الحروف في استخدام الأفعال المساعدة Do وBe وHave لتصيغ الأسئلة والنفي باحترافية، وسنتعرف على الكلمات الدقيقة Already وStill وYet لتعطي جملك لمسة من الواقعية. بنهاية هذا الفصل، لن تكتفي بالتحدث فقط، بل ستصبح متحدثاً متمكناً. ستتمكن من وصف مشروعك في العمل، التعبير عن ذوقك في الطعام، أو حتى إدارة حوارات طويلة دون القلق بشأن اختيار الزمن الصحيح. أنت جاهز للانطلاق، فلنبدأ!
