It is difference im English spoken, we use tenses in our communication.  I AM SPEAKING to my brother NOW.  I SPOKE to my brother YESTERDAY.  I WILL SPEAK to my brother TOMMOROW.  I SPEAK to my brother EVERY DAY.  English is influenced by TIME and EVENT Time form: 1. Present (sekarang)  2. Past (lampau)  3. Future (akan datang)  4. Past Future (akan datang pada masa lampau)  Event form: 1. Simple (sederhana atau buasa dilakukan terjadi berukang-ulang)  2. Continuous (sedang dilakukan)  3. Perfect (sudah dilakukan/ sydah terjadi)  4. Perfect Continuous (sudah dilakukan tapi sedang berlangsung)  To remember 16 tense we just know 4 time and 4 events.

The twenty-four hours are divided into two parts, day and night. During the day, most of us have to work. Besides working, we have our meals. We go shopping and do many other things. At night we go to bed. We sleep till morning; then, as soon as we hear the alarm-clock, we awake, get up, wash, dress and have breakfast.  In England, breakfast is generally a very a substantial meal, composed of porridge, bacon and eggs or fish, coffee or tea with milk, marmalade, bread and butter or toast. In summer, fruit often replaces porridge.  After breakfast, people who have to go to their work, leave their homes and walk to the nearest station or bus stop. They take either the Underground or a bus, which takes them to their daily work. In the bus or Underground, we have time to read our morning paper.  In winter, after finishing our work, we can go to the shops (shopping) or have dinner in a restaurant and afterwards go to a cinema or a theatre. During spring or summer, when the days...

If you want to see which day of the week or which day of the month it is, you look at a calendar.  We work six days a week, one day each week, on Sunday, we do not work because it is a day of rest. During the year, besides Sunday, we have other days of rest which are called holidays. Good Friday, Easter Monday, the Spring Bank Holiday which comes on a Monday. The last Monday in August, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are Bank Holidays in England. New Year's Day is not a holiday in England but it is one in Scotland.  One of the most important of these holidays is Christmas. It is an English custom to send Christmas Greeting Cards.  We all like the holidays, ee take every year in summer during July or August, because we can go to the country or the sea-side and have a rest away from our usual work. Some people cannot have their yearly holidays in summer and are obilged to take them in winter, do the...
