The English is one of the important language in the world. It can be the single most important language.
Yes, other language are important too, but not for the same reasons as English is. English is important because it is, maybe, the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, the whole world may not be united as it is today.
Equally, is important to know English when you are working in a casino, because gambling are tied with the tourism and tourism means foreign people. So these people usually speak English and you should know the language to provide an efficient and complete service.
Knowing this, it is of great interest for me that the learners identify the English in the integral development of them as professionals.
Learners must answer three questions presented below, include the ideas amd present a simple answer as personal opinion using your knowledge in English.
1.What is the importance of English in the formation of workers in a company?
2.How affects the English at the time to get a job in a company?
3.Why the English is consider the universal language?
When you provide a service in casino or many others places, you need to know what the guests needs. That means that you have to ask them about what they want or what they need.
So in this unit, you are going to identify two kinds of questions and how are they used.
In English exist to kinds of basic questions: yes or no questions and information questions (Wh-questions).
Yes or No questions
The yes or no questions use the ver be, have, do and modal verbs (can, could, should, may, will, would). Those questions always begin with one of those verbs and you can answer them with just yes or no.
BE
Use the verb be to ask about the identity, description or location of something or someone, or some activities or situations in the present or the past.
Identity/Description Used be withanoun or adjectiveto askabouttheidentityordescriptionofaperson, placeor thing.

Is this interesting?
No (it is not).
Are these islands part of Greece?
Yes (they are).

No (it wasn't).

Was his apartment above a bakery? Yes (it was).
Were the demonstrations downtown? No (they weren't).
Activities and situations in present
To ask about activities or situations that are happening now or will happen very soon, using the present progressive: the present of be + present participle (verb + ing).
Am I going with you and Tom?
Yes (you are).
Is England adopting the euro?
No (it isn't).
Is she working today?
No (she isn't).
Are they going there now?
Yes (they are).
Are we seeing a play tonight?
Yes (we are).
Activities and Situations in the past
To ask about an activity or situation that has occurred in the past and lasted for an indefinite period, use the progressive past: be + past participle present.
Was it raining? Yes (it was).
Was Anna cooking? No (she wasn't).
Were the prisoners rebelling? Yes (They Were).
Were they singing? No (they were not.)
HAVE
Use the verb have to ask whether an action has occurred or if someone has done something.
Note that the auxiliary verb Have is in present and the main verb is always a past participle.
Have your brother left? No (he hasn't).
Have you flown before? Yes (I have).
Has the party started? Yes (it has).
Have the guests eaten? No (they have not.)

Doflyingfishreallyfly?No(theydo not).
Doesrunninghurtyourknees?Yes(itdoes).
Didteachingchallenge you?Yes(itdid).
MODAL VERBS
use modal verbs to obtain more information about opportunities and uncertainties.
Modal verbs are always followed by a verb in the infinitive without to.
Simple Present tense is used to describe habitual actions that occur with some frequency and does not refer to whether it is happening at present.
First use: Repeated actions
Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
Examples:
I play tennis.
She does not play tennis.
Does he play tennis?
The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
The train does not leave at 9 AM.
When does the train usually leave?
She always forgets her purse.
He never forgets his wallet.
Every twelve months, the Earth circles the Sun.
Does the Sun circle the Earth?
Second Use: Facts or generalizations
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
Examples:
Cats like milk.
Birds do not like milk.
Do pigs like milk?
California is in America.
California is not in the United Kingdom.
Windows are made of glass.
Windows are not made of wood.
New York is a small city.
Third use: Scheduled events in the near future
Speakers occasionally use Simple Present to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well.
Examples:
The train leaves tonight at 6 PM.
The bus does not arrive at 11 AM, it arrives at 11 PM.
When do we board the plane?
The party starts at 8 o'clock.
When does class begin tomorrow?
Fourth use: Non continuous verbs
Speakers sometimes use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now. This can only be done with Non-Continuous-Verbsand certain MixedVerbs.
Examples:
I am here now.
She is not here now.
He needs help right now.
He does not need help now.
He has his passport in his hand.
Do you have your passport with you?
Simple past tense
Pablo Picasso lived France.
He worked a lot and painted many pictures.
Simple Past tense is used to describe actions that have happened at an earlier time and have already done, for example:

1. To form the simple past tense of regular verbs in affirmative statements, add –ed to the base
verb.
2. In negative statements, use did not + a base verb.
