    Used to can be used to express an activity or event in the future.

    Get used to shows that something that is in the process of becoming something that is often done.

    Be used to is used for past or past events, present or present, and future and future or future events.

     This second material is about new modal verbs for obligation. Modal verbs are in English are additional verbs that are commonly used to express modalities (such as possibility, obligation). Modal verbs can be distinguished from other verbs by looking at their characteristics, namely the absence of participles or infinitive forms, and the fact that modal verbs do not end in -(e)s when dealing with singular personal pronouns.

The main English modal verbs are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will and would. Certain verbs are sometimes, although not always, classified as modal verbs, such as: ought, had better, and (in certain contexts of usage) dare and need. Verbs that can act as modal verbs and can also act as verbs are called semimodal verbs.

Modal verbs in English generally have the following characteristics:

Modal verbs are not inflected, except for some that change from present-tense to past-tense. There is no addition of the -(e)s suffix in the third person singular pronoun (present-tense modal verbs therefore follow the preterite-present paradigm).

Modal verb defects: not used as an infinitive or participle (except occasionally in non-standard English; see modal verbs below), not as an imperative, nor as a subjunctive (in standard English).

Modal verbs function as auxiliary verbs: modifying the meaning of another verb, which is the main verb. These verbs generally appear as the bare infinitive, although in some definitions a modal verb can also be set to the to-infinitive (as in the case of ought).

Modal verbs have the syntactic properties found in auxiliary verbs in English, especially that modal verbs can undergo subject-auxiliary inversion (for example in interrogative sentences) and can be negated by adding a note after the word. work.

    In this lesson we learn about the simple past and continuous pas, the meaning of the past continuous and the simple past.

-Past simple: We use the past simple to talk about an event that happened in the past.

-Past continuous: The most common use of the past continuous is to discuss an event that occurred at a certain point in the past.

    We often use the past continuous and past simple together. When this happens, the past continuous describes a longer duration 'background' situation, and the past simple describes an action or event. Often, the 'action' described by the past simple interferes with the 'situation' described by the past continuous.

    The second is about departmental vocabulary and roles. Vocabulary is a set of words that are known to another person or entity, or are part of a particular language. A person's vocabulary is defined as the set of all words understood by that person or all words that are likely to be used by that person to construct new sentences. The wealth of a person's vocabulary is generally considered to be a reflection of his intelligence or level of education.

Examples of departmental and role vocabulary are:

-account/finances=account/finance

-marketing=marketing

-sales=sales

 These are some examples of departmental and role vocabulary.
