Grammar: Clauses with after, until, and when

Today I learned how to use clauses with after, until, and when. To talk about a sequence of events in the future, we use a time clause with after, until, or when followed by the present tense. The main clause of the sentence stays in the future or imperative form. In the classroom, we wrote a recipe using these clauses. This is mine:

Chicken Soup

Ingredients                                                            

  • 1 whole chicken

  • 2 carrots, chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, chopped                                                   

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 8 cups of water

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. First, rinse the chicken and place it in a large pot. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion.

  2. After adding the vegetables, pour in the water and bring it to a boil.

  3. When the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.

  4. Add the minced garlic and let it cook until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, enjoy it.

To finish, here I share some grammar videos that helped me understand the grammar point “future time clauses with before, after, until, when,” and similar connectors.

My first German class

-
Hi! Today I feel very happy because I had my first German class . To be honest, at the beginning I felt nervous because German has the stereotype of being a difficult language. I was also worried about the schedule my classes are on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. , and it was my first time being at the faculty at night. However, in the end, it was a great experience. I met a guy who studies Economics at CU, and he decided to take the German class because he lives near the Faculty of Languages. What I Learned Today I learned very basic but very important vocabulary  words we use every day no matter our language level. I’m talking about greetings . In German, just like in English and Spanish, there are two ways to greet people: informal and formal . Below, I’m sharing some common German greetings with their English equivalents. German Greetings INFORMAL ENGLISH FORMAL ENGLISH Hallo! Hello! Hallo! Hello! Tag! Day! Guten Tag! Good day! Morgen! Morning! Guten Morgen! Good...

Today I learned how to make correct combinations. For example, we do not say “say a joke”; instead, we say “tell a joke.” We also do not say “earn a medal”; instead, we say “win a medal.” Here are some true sentences about me using these phrases:         1.  I would like to run my own English school one day.        2. I think I have a good sense of humor.        3. I like to tell jokes.        4. I have set a goal to learn German this year.        5. Toda y, I broke a record because I drank eight glasses of water.

  Hi today I´m very excited to share with you what I learned today in my English class, I think this topic is very interesting and useful.  Dynamic Verbs  Dynamic verbs describe an action, change, or process with a beginning and an end. They are the most common type of verb and can be used in all tenses and aspects.  When referring to an action that is or was in progress, we use dynamic verbs with a continuous tense.                    I am eating breakfast now.  Here are some common verbs that refer to actions, not states, so they are dynamic and can be used in both simple and continuous tenses:  Stative Verbs   Stative or non-action verbs are verbs that describe a state or condition rather than an action. As a state has no real beginning or end, stative verbs are only used with simple and perfect tenses. They cannot be used with continuous tenses.  These are some of the most common verbs that ...
