Ms. April, thanks for looking into my work. 

He teaches college courses
Tense: present
Aspect: continuous 
I guess it cannot be continuous since to fall into that category it must have a "be" verb + V -ing
Mood: Factual
3 moods are being discussed in this unit namely: indicative, imperative, and subjunctive. Thus, the mood that factual statements belong to is Indicative.

Sentence 1: "She wishes she could travel the world."

  • Tense: The main verb "wishes" is in the present tense.
  • Aspect: There's no specific aspect marker in this sentence, but "could travel" can be considered as a modal verb construction that expresses possibility.
  • Mood: The mood in this sentence is subjunctive. The verb "wishes" is used to express a desire or wish, which is a common usage of the subjunctive mood

Sentence: "Go to the store."

  • Tense: The main verb "Go" is in the base form, indicating the imperative mood.
  • Aspect: In the imperative mood, the focus is on issuing a command, so there's no specific aspect like continuous or perfect.
  • Mood (Imperative): The mood is imperative, as it's giving a command or instruction.

Let’s analyze the sentence:

“I hope I will not insult you if I say honestly and directly that in my eyes you are visible embodiment of extreme perfection?”

  1. Tense: The main verb “say” is in the future tense, indicated by “will.” It refers to an action that will happen later.
  1. Aspect: The aspect of the verb “say” is simple, as there is no additional information about the ongoing nature or completion of the action.
  1. Mood: The mood of the verb “say” is indicative, as it expresses a statement or fact.

Sure, here's a sentence from Unit 1 of the ESL001 course:

"I live in Toronto, Canada."

Main Verb: "live"

Tense: Present
Aspect: Simple
Mood: Indicative

Explanation:

Tense: The verb "live" is in the present tense, indicating that the action is happening currently or as a general truth.
Aspect: The verb "live" is in the simple aspect, indicating a straightforward action without any additional complexity or duration.
Mood: The mood of the verb "live" is indicative, which is used to state facts, express certainty, or ask questions about real situations. In this sentence, the speaker is simply stating a fact about their current place of residence.

Sentence from Unit 1:

"The sun rises in the east every morning."

Tense: Present simple
Aspect: Simple
Mood: Indicative

This sentence describes a habitual action (the sun rising in the east every morning), which is why it uses the present simple tense. The aspect is simple because there are no additional aspects or complexities associated with the action. Additionally, the mood is indicative because it states a fact without any doubt or uncertainty.

Since I can't access specific course materials, I can provide a general example of identifying verb tense, aspect, and mood.


Let's take the sentence: "She will have finished her homework by the time you arrive."


- Tense: Future perfect

- Aspect: Perfect

- Mood: Indicative


This sentence indicates an action that will be completed in the future (future tense), with emphasis on the completion of the action (perfect aspect), and presents a statement of fact (indicative mood).


I hope this example helps you understand how to analyze verb tense, aspect, and mood!

Sentence: "Eric reviews his lecture notes daily."

  • Tense: Present (indicated by the verb "reviews")
  • Aspect: Simple (indicated by the lack of continuous or perfect aspect markers)
  • Mood: Indicative (factual statement)

So, the main verb "reviews" in this sentence is in the present tense, simple aspect, and indicative mood. It simply states a fact about Eric's habit of reviewing his lecture notes daily.

Verb tense refers to the time when an action / event occurs.
We have several tenses, including:
Present Simple: He goes to school.
Past Simple: He went to school.
Present Continuous He is going to school.
Past Continuous He was going to school.
Future Simple He will go to school.
Present Perfect He has gone to school.
Past Perfect. He had gone to school.
Future Perfect He will have gone to school.
Verb Aspect:
Verb aspect focuses on the internal structure of an action /event.
We primarily have two aspects:
Simple Aspect: He goes” or “She played”
Progressive Aspect: Highlights the ongoing nature of an action “They are playing football” or “HE was dancing beautifully”,
Verb Mood:
Verb mood reflects the speaker’s attitude toward an action / event.
We encounter three main moods:
Indicative Mood: He sings well.
Imperative Mood: Please pass the sugar.
Subjunctive Mood: If Varinder were here, he could tell us what to do.

This is a tough one! Here's what I'd bring:

2. A Fishing Net: Since the island has fish, I'd need a way to catch them. A net is lightweight and versatile.
3. A Large, Waterproof Tarp: This can be used for shelter, collecting rainwater, and even creating a makeshift boat in a pinch.
4. A Basic First Aid Kit: Accidents happen, so a basic first aid kit is essential.
5. A Fire Starter: Fire is vital for cooking, warmth, and protection.

I'd prioritize survival tools and focus on securing food and shelter.
