  1. Hi guys,

    I was trying to find out how to create a new post. But now I realized I don't think I can do that. So, I'm gonna put my sentences here.

    See you!

    1)"And I hope that you feel the same way too"
    (All my life - KCi and JoJo)
    This sentence is in Simple Present because "hope" is a non-action verb (it represents a mental state), and this kind of verbs are usually used in Simple Present.

    2)"I'm holding on to what I think is safe"
    (One last breath - Creed)
    This sentence is in Presente Progressive because it's describing something that's happening now.

    3)"You gave me wings and made me fly"
    (Because you loved me - Celine Dion)
    This setence is in Simple Past because it's describing an action that was completed in the past.

    4)"The world was moving and she was floating above it"
    (And she was - Talking Heads)
    This sentence is in Past Progressive because it talks about two actions in progress at the same time in the past.

    5)"Have you ever been in love?"
    (Have you ever been in love - Westlife)
    This question is in Present Perfect because it asks about something that may happened in the past, but the time is not important.

  2. 6)"When you told me it would be alrigth, I had given up control"
    (Serpentine - Disturbed)
    These two sentences show a relationship between two events that happened in the past. The first sentence is in Simple Past because it refers to the earlier event. The second sentence is in the Past Perfect beucase it refers to the latter event.

    7)"You're going to lose that girl"
    (You're going to lose that girl - The Beatles)
    This sentence is in the Future ("be going to")because it's a prediction, probbaly made by some evidence.

    8)"...tomorrow we wil be doing teh samething"
    (Just another day - Dev)
    This sentence is in the Future Progressive because it talks about something that will be in progress at a specific time in the future.

    9)"Never mind, I'll find someone like you"

    This sentence is in the Future ("will") because it talks about a future intention.

    10)"I have been waiting all my life to find someone just like you"
