	Clive  +  165851 Sun, 04 Dec 05 12:42 AM Hi, is it true that certain time adverbs can only be used with certain tenses? I think you should look at each adverb and think a little more carefully about whether you can use it with another tense. Try to make some sentences. I just went through and thought of the following examples. Maybe you can think of more. Best wishes, Clive 1. simple present : with frequency adverbs, on Sundays..., in the mornings..., everyday, every Sunday/summer... Last year, I called my mother every day. 2. present continuous: now, at the moment, at present, currently, Last year, I called my mother every day. Now, I don't call her. 3. simple past: freuency adverbs, yesterday, last week..., two days...ago, in 1999, at 7 o'clock, for, lately, recently I was watching TV yesterday, ewhen my mother called.  4. present perfect: frequency adverbs, now, just, already, yet, since, for, recently, lately, so far, up to/till now, as yet, to date, for the past two weeks..., in the last two weeks...,  I had just gone to bed when my mother called. 5. simple future: tomorrow, next week...on Monday, I called my mother on Monday.   Clive Joined on Thu, Oct 28 2004 Canada Veteran Member 29,585 El tango argentino es un pensamiento triste que se puede bailar (The tango argentino is a sad thought which can be danced) Enrique Santos Discépolo Simple Present, Verbs, Dates, Tenses, Adverbs, Present Continuous, Simple Past, Present Perfect
