Dissapointment of the seas: Enchantment of the Seas Cruise Review by NCBBCruiser
Overall Member Rating
Dissapointment of the seas
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
The pool situation and lack of attention by the staff was absolutely horrible!! We spent most of our time sitting around the rear exterior pool on the 9th deck. There is a childrens play area with a sprinkler and a childrens section in the forward pool but the children all gathered at the rear pool and were not only running, but jumping, pushing, pulling and at times standing on the upper ledge and jumping into the pool over someone else. Not only was this extremely disturbing because we could not even get close to the More pool because of them running and splashing, but was difficult to watch and wait for someone to get hurt, and of course that did happen and the parents had to carry the two smaller children away. And not one single time did a Royal Caribbean staff member stop them or even warn them to stop? I filmed a few minutes of this activity, but not sure which forum to share it on. Why is this acceptable behavior on a Royal Caribbean cruise? This did not just happen one day, it was every day!! The pool in the adult area would be great if it wasn't so hot with the roof closed and had at least some sort of music, very boring! And while sitting at the pool, why is there no music? Wednesday afternoon a band set everything up and started playing(they were very good), but they only played for 40 minutes and then stopped so they could show the movie Frozen at 4:00 in the afternoon? Really? The way the sun was shining, you could not even see the screen anyway.
Although our room was very nice and clean, We did not even see our room attendant until the last night. Ice cream machine was shut down every time we went to get some and twice was during the day!
I got me a voucher for a soda package for my 12 yr old son, upon boarding the ship I showed it to the staff member at the large table where they were selling beverage packages and they said that I had to go to the guest services counter to take care of it. They said that they could not, that I had to go to the guys at the beverage table, I told Guest services that I had been there and they sent me here, back and forth and an hour later It was worked out, very unorganized!
Our weather was perfect and Coco Cay was amazing, we really enjoyed the island. The best part of the cruise was the fact that it was not crowded at all, never had to wait on an elevator, lines were not long for anything, shows were barely half full, and always chairs available by the pool. Obviously the ship was not even close to capacity.
We love cruises and will be taking many, many more, but I don't think it will be on Royal Caribbean. Less

Time's Deadly Hand was a Mastery 3 earth spell [1] initially designed to demonstrate the fleeting quality of material possessions, but it was later modified to destroy such items. It caused a target object to rust and corrode until it was pitted and useless. Anything from steel to wood to paper could be affected. Nemuranai, jade, and crystal items were immune to this spell, since they were imbued with spirits of their own to protect them. [2] [3]

Danone joins forces with Russia's Unimilk
French food giant Danone and Russia's Unimilk announced on Friday they were combining their fresh milk interests in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Danone, the world number one in milk products, will hold 57.5 percent of the new entity, with Unimilk shareholders taking the remainder.
No value was put on the deal which will be done by way of a contribution of assets and Danone buying shares in the new company, Danone-Unimilk.
The venture should have annual sales of about 1.5 billion euros (1.86 billion euros) with a market share of 21 percent.
Danone and Unimilk said their two businesses were very complementary and there would be significant synergies on sales and cost in the new company.
News of the deal saw Danone's shares gain 0.56 percent in midday trade while the overall market was modestly firmer.
Danone has been present in Russia for about 20 years and the Russian market plus that of former Soviet states is widely seen as offering fast growth opportunities.
The French company has been building up its business through acquisitions, targeting emerging economies mainly, but it fared badly in China, one of the most promising of all markets for dairy products.
It fell out with its Chinese partner Wahaha when Danone alleged that it had discovered that Wahaha chairman Zong Qinghou had set up an entire production and distribution network in parallel to their joint ventures.
After two years of bitter exchanges, the two parties agreed a settlment in late 2009, with Danone selling its share of the business to Wahaha.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My cousin was arrested for a charge of grand theft auto that happened in 2007. He admitted to having part of the stolen vehicle how much time is he looking at to get
many people ask such questions on this site, and there can never be a direct answer as sentencing depends on too many factors. the best person to ask such a question of would be the attorney representing him on his case.Ask a similar question
Vehicle Theft, Penal Code 10851, is a "wobbler," meaning it can be charged as a felony with a maximum prison sentence of three years, or as a misdemeanor with a maximum of a year in jail.
There is no way to know what your cousin's sentence might be. It depends on the circumstances of the case, his past criminal record, his age and a number of other factors. His lawyer is in a much better position to answer your question.
Please understand that this is a general discussion of legal principles by a California lawyer and does not create an attorney/client relationship. It's impossible to give detailed, accurate advice based on a few sentences on a website (and you shouldn't provide too much specific information about your legal matter on a public forum like this, anyway). You should always seek advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who can give you an informed opinion after reviewing all of the relevant information.Ask a similar question
I believe that Mr. Marshall means Vehicle Code section 10581 and not Penal Code 10581; aside from this typo the answer is correct.Ask a similar question
As Mr. Kaman knows, there are laws of the Universe in addition to the Penal Code and Vehicle Code. One of them is that any correction of another person's typo on the Internet will invariably include another typo.
I actually combined two sections. Auto theft can be charged as either Vehicle Code 10851 or Penal Code 487(d)(1). The punishment is the same for either offense.Ask a similar question
It is interesting to note that this case occurred in 2007. If the DA did not file the case until recently, your friend may have lost out on key evidence that may have been available had the charges been filed earlier. This could be a plausible defense to raise. Additionally, your friend could be charged with a theft related offense (10851 or 487 as explained by previous attorneys below) or receiving stolen property under Penal Code 496 -- all of these charges may be filed as misdemeanors or felonies. In any event, if the case is filed as a misdemeanor, your friend may be able to receive little to no jail time with probation if there are no priors in his or her past. If priors do exist, look at more jail time with the possibility that a felony may be filed.
If he/she has a reputable attorney who can talk to the DDA handling the case, the case could possibly be negotiated for straight probation with restitution, or perhaps a civil compromise (if filed as a misdemeanor). Your friend should really seek guidance from an attorney to get the best deal. Best of luck!Ask a similar question

Rosie O'Donnell, whose new daily talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, will premiere on OWN in the fall, has been tapped to do specials for selected documentaries from the OWN Documentary Film Club, starting with Becoming Chaz, which will premiere in May. (It features Sonny and Cher's offspring Chaz Bono). Meanwhile, according to the basic cable ratings released earlier this week, in its second full week on the air, OWN slipped to 310,000 viewers in primetime, down 20% from 387,000 the week before. (The network launched on Jan. 1, with an average of 1.1 viewers in primetime for its debut weekend.) As OWN is yet to bottom out, the network has fallen behind all of its female-oriented cable competition, including Lifetime (793,000), Oxygen (565,000) and WE (331,000).
Rosie O'Donnell To Do Specials For OWN Documentaries While Net's Rating Slip
16 Comments
If Oprah's ratings are slipping now, wait until O'Donnell shows up. People can't stand Rosie so don't expect a ratings bump when her shows air.
you hit the nail on the head, besides the networks shows suck compared to others.
Oprah get your mac and cheese ready for your next big failure…..
Oprah's gonna find out the hard way, inspiration and helping people has a place, but the sole purpose of television is to entertain and sell products. Sometimes education and inspiration make it through the cracks.
I'm actually looking forward to Rosie's show. I love listening to her on the radio now. Having her on a cable network will probably be a good fit.
I love Behind Season 25. It's more fascinating to me than the actual Oprah show.
You also must like getting lobotomies and anal probes! Listening to that wrteched one is one thing-having to WATCH her, esp doing DOCUMENTARIES, no less, has got to be the most excrutiating torture known to man! Although Fat Rosie O'Donuts wouldnt know what a man can endure, since she hasnt been with any man, and no man would ever be drunk enough or crazy enough to hit that thing!
OWN will do fine in time. Lifetime, Oxygen, and WE are not the strongest cable networks offered to viewers either. It is way too soon to start comparisons. Let a few years go by before talking ratings.
OWN will slip further when Rosie's O'D's starts to appear. While she's tried to 'polish up' her image in the last year, too many people are just plain over her bombastic ego. Revisionism may work for politicians, but it doesn't do so well for has-been celebrities.
If a tree falls in Rosie land………………
Instead of Oprah's network being called OWN it should be renamed EGO. And, her's is gigantic! I suppose she feels entitled to have anything she wants just because she' s Oprah and starting a network is her due. I honestly don't think adding Rosie or any one or two well-known performers will guarantee success out of the gate. She doesn't walk on water yet so it will be interesting to see how long it takes for this venture to fly, if indeed, it ever really is successful. I honestly don't believe the world needs another cable show like this.
people should relize it takes time for a new network to really work and gain. though adding Rosie to the mix given how she is a lightning rod for controversy . Oprah must want to learn what it is like to bomb. for Rosie given her history with being on shows then being sent packing odds are Own will wind up with its first cancelation.
I thought the Oxygen network was the lesbian channel. So now OWN will be?
Watching Rosie will be like cows taking a leak, not to interesting but at least factual.
You "thought the Oxygen network was the lesbian channel"? Oh, boy, as a straight man, I must really be behind the times. I thought Logo was the "dedicated" GLAAD network, unless it's just for gay men. My bad–I think. Anyway, I kind of miss seeing Rosie on TV. I don't get her satellite radio show (oy vey, no holds barred, no doubt), but since it's basic cable, we probably would see something roughly in the middle between Sunshiny Rosie the Daytime Talk Queen (70%) and Raving Lunatic Rosie Squaring Off Against Elisabeth Hasselbeck (30%). That said, again, OWN does not exactly fall within my "demographic" (I think I can count on one hand the number of Oprah shows I've watched in their entirety in my whole life (50+ years). Dr. Oz (respectable), Dr, Phil (UGH), and Nate Berkus (um, who?) fall even further behind, and Gayle King's gig was inevitable, given her special relationship with Oprah. Do I care to watch her? Absolutely not. If I don't care to watch the queen, why watch the queen's most trusted advisor? As of today, my only conceivable reason to watch OWN at all would be to give Rosie a "new" look. Does anyone remember Rosie's disastrous attempt at resuscitating live burlesque, 21st-century style, in a Broadway theater, on prime-time network TV a few years ago? The sad and painful failure sent Rosie escaping into hiding at her Star Island estate in Miami for months. But I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Since I'm not prejudiced by the free-for-all she's allowed by satellite radio, I'll be able to watch her new OWN series with fresh eyes. And the fact of the matter, temper tantrums or not, I still like Rosie O'Donnell, who I believe became a victim of her own gaudily hideous success. She has since been brought down a peg–or three. Let's see what the former daytime talk-show diva has to say these days.
OIWN will work they just need to find shows that people want to watch. I think a show about WOMEN rebuilding thier lives would be perfect! Not some sort Real Housewives of — but Real Women in Todays America
I'm still pissed Discovery Health is gone. Oprah ruins everything.
I'm not looking forward to Rosie at all. After listening to her radio show for awhile, i realized that if you don't agree with Rosie you get slammed. She's only interested in people that share Her opinion. I like to hear more than one point of view in a format that everyone feels comfortable with. Whether you agree or not…. Like Gayle Kings show…..that's how it's done

|Fri, 14 Sep 2007 23:57:53 GMT
Hopefully I can get all the concerns in one email ... [Pardon me if this is not the most coherent - I been on vacation this week and I was staining and putting sealer or some wood furniture and got too many fumes to the head ... but don't let that reflect badly on the patch ... that was done weeks ago .. I finally got around to cleaning up the rough edges on it before the final commit] * Security by allowing new path exposure * 1) Its just as "easy" to write a wrapper to accomplish the same thing if one wishes to bypass the security. 2) If a deploy tool is used which is doing checks - adding an extra check to allow/deny/restrict scope should not be too hard to do. Since users can disable symlink checks in the same class (FileDirContext) - the same exposure could be had with a little more effort. I'm not trying to hand wave the concerns away with the previous 2 points. I've thought a while about how I can exploit this patch and most examples relied on assumptions which if the assumption were true - your system would have already been compromised. * Servlet API Portability * I chose this route since it is more portable. Other app servers provide the ability to do aliases. It really becomes a configuration exercise from appserverA to appserverB. (Ignoring the alias issue at the moment) The beautiful thing about using JNDI as the method of serving resources is one can swap in WARDircontext instead of FileDirContext and the webapp code is none the wiser. In fact, I could create a JDBCDirContext which houses all resources as clobs/blobs and its STILL spec compliant and the webapp code is none the wiser. (Now back on topic .. And history of the project that uses the patch - well not this exact patch but one darn near close since the original patch was done against 5.0) The reason for aliases is I had static resources that needed to be served securely as part of a webapp. I can easily secure them via a web.xml security constraint or ServletFilter but the resources needed to appear as part of a webapp. But these resources are sourced by a different Enterprise system. I cannot drop a WEB-INF and child directories into a legacy Enterprise directory. (nor mirror it via a copy of the files) I also wanted to use the DefaultServlet as the means to serve the files. These were just pdfs and similar binary assets. Nothing magically, but potentially messy with If-Modified-Checks and partial content requests. I'd rather not reinvent (or copy) the wheel. So in a nutshell I needed a way for the Enterprise sourced content to look like it was part of the webapp. I would think this would not be an isolated case particular to me. * Portability * So depending on your point of view - this is portable or not portable. My vantage point is it is portable since I am writing user land code which assumes everything is contained inside my webapp. I can then rely on the servlet container to pull from other areas of the file system when need be to make the webapp appear as one logical unit. In this case - the user code is extremely portable but the configuration is dependent on the servlet container providing support for aliases. * Summary * I wanted a way for resources from various areas in the filesystem to appear as part of the webapp such the ServletContext.getResource() didn't know or care that the some content while being served from a directory sourced by some Enterprise system looked like part of the webapp. At the end of the day - I could have relied on symlinks to implement the project that dealt with this issue - but then when I needed to mirror content to our cluster of servers - I would've needed special setup to create the symlink as well as special rules to ensure that file replication excluded the symlink and its contents. Adding a symlink was a "much easy" alternative. Yes - this is potentially bloaty and I tried on my first pass to subclass FileDirContext but the the number of touch points was to high that doing it right inside FileDirContext felt like the better alternative. I have noticed other projects in the past few years at my employer where aliases would've come in handy instead of relying on symlinks. * PS Summary * I'm glad I didn't try to bring up the topic of asking how we can somehow detect OS so for the case sensitive OS's we can have the case checks turned off automagically ... and in other cases provide a switch to turn off symlink checking globally since these 2 checks can involve a lot of extra stat() calls. ;) -Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

I will be posting the signals I see on ELF here. I will post with intensity of each signal seen on the ELF range. I will post intensity using the Seismic scale from 1 to 10 Magnitudes. Be aware that once the signal comes in on ELF it can take from 1 hour and 40 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes for the quake to be seen on USGS sites. These signals come in on ELF about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before they actually impact what ever region their epicenters are. Then it takes USGS sites about 30 minutes to display.
The signals I pay attention to are in the 1 Hz to 10 Hz frequencies. Those are almost always Seismic.
I will be doing this when I am in front of my computer, not all the time so be aware that I will not be able to catch them all.
These ELF signals give approximately a 2 hour window to work and figure out epicenter. That is another task I will take on in the future. It is the hardest part of Earthquake prediction.
This is an addition I added to a thread about Elenin;
Be weary next 3 hours, have plan prepared for some possible shaking. Getting some unusual readings on ELF. Not sure if it will impact Japan region but better to be safe than sorry. Keep your mind focused and aware that Japan might be getting some seismic activity headed that way. This one might be 5+ if I am not mistaken. No panic just keep your senses on alert status.
The unusual activity I heard were 18 very intense thumps. In the 1Hz to 10Hz frequency. Could be seismic.
Then these quakes occurred;

This is one of the most remarkable achievements in modern Mathematical Finance, which led to intensive investigations in many applications of the arbitrage theory on a mathematically rigorous basis of stochastic calculus.
Contagion Phenomena with Applications in Finance
Quantitative Finance Set
Much of the previous literature on financial contagion and systematic risks has been motivated by the finding that cross-market correlations (resp. co-exceedances) between asset returns increase significantly during crisis periods. Is this increase due to an exogenous shock common to all markets (interdependence) or due to certain types of transmission of shocks between markets (contagion)?
Basic Stochastic Processes
In this book, the authors focus on two big families of stochastic processes: stochastic calculus, including Lévy processes, and Markov and semi-Markov models. From a financial point of view, essential concepts such as the Black and Scholes model, VaR indicators, actuarial evaluation, market values and fair pricing play a central role and will be presented.
The first chapter presents the essentia...

Switching Processes in Queueing Models
The book is devoted to developing the asymptotic theory for the class of switching queueing models which covers state-dependent models in a Markov or semi-Markov environment, models under the influence of flows of external or internal perturbations, unreliable and hierarchic networks, etc. Switching processes, invented by the author in 1977, are the main tools used in the investigation. Asymptotic...
Mathematical Methods in Survival Analysis, Reliability and Quality of Life
Reliability and survival analysis are important applications of stochastic mathematics (probability, statistics and stochastic processes) that are usually covered separately in spite of the similarity of the mathematical theory involved.
This book aims to redress this situation: it includes 21 chapters divided into four parts: survival analysis, reliability, quality of life and related topics. M...
Continuous Semi-Markov Processes
This book considers the special class of random processes known as semi-Markov processes. These possess the Markov property with respect to any intrinsic Markov time such as the first exit time from an open set or a finite iteration of these times.
This class of semi-Markov processes includes strong Markov processes, Lévy and Smith stepped semi-Markov processes, as well as some other subclasses....
Particle Swarm Optimization
This is the first book devoted entirely to Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which is a non-specific algorithm, similar to evolutionary algorithms, such as taboo search and ant colonies. Since its original development in 1995, PSO has mainly been applied to continuous-discrete heterogeneous strongly non-linear numerical optimization and it is thus used almost everywhere in the world. Its converge...
Branching Random Walks in Non-homogeneous Environments
The book is devoted to a modern section of the probability theory, the so-called theory of branching random walks.
Chapter 1 describes the random walk model in the finite branching one-source environment.
Chapter 2 is devoted to a model of homogeneous, symmetrical, irreducible random walk (without branching) with finite variance of the jumps on the multidimensional integer continuous-time lattic...
Statistical Modeling in Clinical Trials
Clinical trials at the confirmatory stage of drug development typically require a large number of patients recruited by many clinical centers. The design of multi-center clinical trials consists of several interconnected stages including patient recruitment planning, choosing a randomization scheme and a statistical method for analyzing patient responses on different treatments, and planning the d...
Distributions of Goodness-of-Fit Statistics
This book is devoted to the theory of goodness-of-fit tests based on weighted empirical processes. Much attention has been given to the limit distributions of statistics of these tests as well as to convergence problems. Cramér-von Mises statistics are studied throughout most of the book, but attention is also given to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the chi-square goodness-offit test as well as some...

Machine Learning (ML) certainly seems to be a hot topic this year, with no signs of slowing down. Many frameworks for manipulating data on large scales are coming to the masses, and even though I don't work with data sets that could legitimately called "Big Data", I have found some very neat applications put to work with Apache Spark.
Here is a Google Trends for people search for machine learning for the past 5 years. December 4-10 2016 is literally the high-point of the graph. I have a feeling that sharp lull immediately after has more to do with that data spanning the Christmas and New Years holidays.
So what are some things ML is good for? One is for predicting if you will like something (i.e. a recommendation engine). Google has been doing this for a long time in Gmail, where their industrious robots toil away reading your emails in a non-human manner in order to recommend products to you (advertisements). Music and Movie sites do this as well. Netflix is actually the reason I wrote this post.
I was at my fathers house on New Years Eve, and we were going through Netflix. He quickly spun across the movie Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead (that type of movie isn't his thing, so I do mean quickly), and I noticed something. It had 2 stars. Peculiar. I had recently added that movie to my list, as it had nearly 5 stars! Maybe it's just because I've had Netflix for well over a decade, but 5 star movies always seemed fairly rare. It takes me longer to find something to watch than actually watch it, so if I see a highly rated movie in a genre that I'm not currently in he mood for I'll add it to my list so I can check it out later. So why was a near 5 star movie on my account a 2 star movie on his? I headed over to Netflix's Help Site to figure it out.
How does it all work? We use a recommendation algorithm that takes certain factors into consideration, such as:
- The genres of movies and TV shows available.
- Your streaming history, and previous ratings you've made.
- The combined ratings of all Netflix members who have similar tastes in titles to you.
That last part is the important one. The combined ratings of all Netflix members who have similar tastes in titles to you.
What this means, for example, is that if you have rated 10 movies, and it knows of some accounts that also like those 10 movies as well as another 5, then it will suggest those other 5 to you. Unfortunately, that is also pretty much the definition of being "in a bubble". Congratulations, snowflake: you will be told that the choices of like minded people, just like you, are highly rated films worth your time.
In fact, here is the that movie on three different profiles on my one account:
4.75 Stars on my main profile
4 Stars on my old profile
3 Stars on my guest profile
What this also means, is that when my wife starts using my profile I suddenly get recommended romantic comedies instead of horror movies about demonic position [read as: Why I already have multiple Netflix profiles, and why Mark2 is considered my main one].
Don't get me wrong, it's a big problem to figure out. It's one that constantly evolving. It's also one that Netflix is pretty open about, even putting up a contest a few years back: The Netflix Prize. As stated on that same Netflix page:
We offer thousands of titles to stream -- that's a lot! When you rate movies and TV shows, you're helping us filter through the thousands of selections to get a better idea of what you'd like to watch.
I just feel a little lied to. I wasn't told that is was highly recommended. I was recommended it, and told that it was highly rated. There's a difference.
Further Reading: I found this article to be a very well thought out walk-through of some of the core concepts of Machine Learning, along with some good practical examples. There is also a site called kaggle that hosts data sets and competitions if you are looking to try and apply some skill along the way.

Red herrings, and a wrong conclusion. It has nothing to do with either @_, or eval. It all has to do with Perl using pass by alias.
$_[0] is just a different name for $n, which is being modified in foo, just like your function uses eval, which sets $@.

A FORMER RAF trainee officer is re-building his life in York after his childhood dream of joining the service turned into a nightmare.
Matt Okey says he was only months into his training when he suffered an agonising back injury, which he believes was caused by serious mistakes made during his training.
He spent months in rehabilitation, including a spinal rehab course at Headley Court, where many servicemen went after being badly injured in Afghanistan.
He claimed the public was well aware of such casualties but knew nothing of the 'dozens and dozens' of servicemen and women who suffered equally debilitating injuries in this country.
"We're forgotten about and there simply isn't the money or the support left to look after us," said Matt, 24, of Lawrence Street, who has been involved in a lengthy legal battle for compensation which is still ongoing.
"I was medically discharged without seeing a penny of compensation, an apology for the horrors I suffered while in treatment or even a full diagnosis on what remains to this day a very serious set of injuries."
He said he had wanted to join the RAF since he was a child and went to see military air shows, and all was going well until after he began training and it was discovered he had collapsed foot arches which started to cause achilles problems.
He claimed that a military doctor ordered him not to run under any circumstances but a physical training instructor had ignored this and made him go on a training run. He broke down after a couple of miles, after which his achilles went black.
He said the achilles recovered but he suffered consequential damage to his calves, which appeared to have then led to problems developing in his back.
He said he had suffered from depression but had now overcome everything thrown at him, initially by going to the University of Hull and getting a 2.1 in Creative Writing and American History and then coming to York, where he found a job with specialist recruitment firm T J Peel, a 'fantastic young company in a great city, with people I actually enjoy being around."
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: "We recognise the invaluable contribution of our service personnel and are determined to make sure that individuals injured as a result of their service get all the support they need.
"We have a number of comprehensive schemes in place to provide financial compensation and other support. We have also worked hard to ensure they get the best possible medical care and support.
"When compensation claims are submitted, they are considered on the basis of whether or not the Ministry of Defence has a legal liability to pay compensation. Where there is a legal liability to pay compensation we do so."

Tense is the specific form of a verb that shows when the action it describes takes place, its continuance and completion.
There are three types of tenses-
(1) The Present Tense
(2) The Past Tense
(3) The Future Tense
Each tense has four cases to show exactly when the action takes place.
Present Tense
1. Simple Present Tense
It is the 'base' form of the verb. (E.g. work, go) It is mainly used:
(a) to show actions that happen habitually.
E.g. I go to bed at nine o' clock.
(b) to state general facts or universal truths.
E.g. the sun rises in the east.
(c) While quoting from books.
Eg. The notice says, 'No Parking'.
The plurality of the noun influences the verb for examples.
I eat We eat He eats She eats
Easy Recall: Subject + verb + object
E.g. He + eats + rice.
I + eat + fruits.
2. Present Continuous
The Second case in present tense is present continuous. The 'ing' form or the present participle (E.g. working, going) is used to denote actions that are going on at the time of speaking. It is also used while talking about things that happen often.
I am eating a banana.
It is raining this morning.
My grandfather is always forgetting things.
Kishore is always reading novels.
Easy Recall: Subject + am / is /are + (verb + ing + object)
I + am + eat + ing + a banana
Kishore + is + always + read + ing + novels.
They + are + dance + ing + now.
(The use of am, is, are, depends on the plurality or singularity of the noun)
3. Present Perfect
It is used to talk about finished actions when we are thinking about their results in the present. But this tense should not be used with adverbs or adverbial phrases denoting past time (like yesterday, last week, Monday, etc.). This tense is indicated by adding have, had, has with the past participle of the verb.
I have written the letter.
I have known him for a long time.
Easy Recall: Subject + have / has + past participle of the verb + object
I + have + written + the letter
I + have + known + him for a long time.
She + has + gone + home.
(Note: The use of have, has, depends on the singularity or plurality of the noun)
4. Present Perfect Continuous
It links the past action with the present. It is used to indicate an action that finished a short time ago; to show an indefinite action beginning at some time in the past and going on till the moment of speaking. The gerund form of verb is used here.
I have been writing for hours.
She has been working in the garden.
Easy Recall: Subject + have, has + been + verb + ing + object
I + have + been + write + ing for hours.
She + has + been + dance + ing every morning.
Jack + has + been + work + ing + in the garden.
Use the correct form of verb.
1. Simple Past
It is used to indicate action completed at a certain time in the past.
Easy Recall: Subject + past form of the verb + object.
I + wrote + a letter.
They + ate + food.
I + talked + to him.
2. Past continuous
It is used to indicate an action that was still going on at a certain time in the past. It is formed with was/were with the present participle.
Easy Recall: Subject + was/were + verb + ing + object
I + was + write + ing + a letter.
They + were + play + ing + football.
He + was + talk + ing + loudly.
3. Past Perfect
It is used to indicate the first action when two actions were taking place in the past. It is formed by adding 'had' with the past participle of the verb.
Easy Recall: Subject + had + past participle of the verb + object
I + had + written + a letter
He + had + finished + his work.
They + had + gone + home.
4. Past Perfect continuous
It is used to indicate an action that began before a certain point in the past and was still going on when something else happened.
Easy Recall: Subject + had + been + verb + ing + object.
I + had + been + write + ing + a letter when you came.
They + had + been + walk + ing + when it rained.
She + had + been + dance + ing + when the phone rang.
Use the correct form of words.
1. Simple Future
It is used to indicate actions that are going to take place in the future. When there is no intention or arrangement, will or shall is used with the verb. When there is intention, the gerund form or infinitive form is used.
Easy Recall: Subject + shall/will + be + verb + ing + object
I + shall + be + write + ing + a letter.
She + will + be + do + ing + her homework.
He + will _+ be + write + ing + an article.
2. Future Continuous Tense
Used to say that an action will be going on or continuing at a particular time in future
- I will be having a lunch party
- This time tomorrow I will flying over the Indian ocean
- I will be waiting for you at the airport
3. Future Perfect
It is used to express the completion of an action by a certain future time. The verb used will be in the past participle form.
Easy Recall: Subject + shall, will + have + past participle + object.
I + shall + have + written + the letter by the evening.
They + will + have + transferred + the furniture by tomorrow.
He + will + have + finished + the book the next day.
4. Future Perfect Continuous
It is used to express an action that may be continued up to a time in the future.
Easy Recall: Subject + shall, will + have been + verb + ing + object
I + shall + have been + study + ing + for medicine, for two years by then.
