• Pronoun = the name of a person, the name of a place, the name (brand) of a thing » Byung Hyuk, Dankook University, Coca Cola bottle

4. Use of the tenses • When talking about something that already happened, use the past tense. • When talking about your hobbies or current situation (the now), use present tense. – “I like listen to music.” » Simple present  “I like listening to music.”  “I like to listen to music.” » Present continuous

• When talking about what you want later in life, use future tense.
