Naomba msaada wa matumizi ya 'had', 'could' na 'would'

let me try use them now:
an accident we saw there were very bad indeed, but the bus driver didn't take care about the wounded one's instead he disappeared. by the grace of God a good Samaritans helped them. please correct me.

Start with the subject of the sentence.

We saw an accident which was very bad indeed, but the bus driver didn't look after (take care of) the wounded (one's). Instead, he disappeared. By the grace of God a good Samaritan / some good Samaritans helped them.

Hongera! All your articles are correct! 'an accident' because it is the first time you mention the accident - it hadn't been identified before.

the bus driver - because I know which bus driver - the bus driver in the accident etc. nkd.

a
good Samaritan - because because he is introduced for the first time - it could be any good Samaritan.

You need singular / plural agreement! 'a good Samaritan' or 'some good Samaritans'
 
nijuavyo mimi had ni aspect (hali) eg past participle aspect,past perfect aspect etc.watu wengi hudhani tense na aspect ni sawa kumbe svyo.kwa ujumla kuna aina mbili tu za tense present na past tense.could na would ni modal auxiliaries ambazo hunyesha tense.auxiliaries n vitenzi visaidizi ambavyo haviwezi kusimama bila kitenzi kikuu.eg I could hear the cry.cry-V .could -AUX.I would have killed him.killed -V.would have -AUX
 

'I could hear the cry'. 'the cry' ni noun, siyo 'verb' katika sentensi hiyo. The 'main verb' ni 'hear';
'could' katika sentensi hiyo ni modal of ability. ('the cry' ina maana 'kilio).

'could' inaleta maana ya aina mbalimbali - inatumiwa kama a modal of ability, permission, possibility.

'I could run fast when I was younger'. 'Niliweza' - modal of past ability (inahusu uwezo wangu)

'I could enter without paying.' - modal of permission. 'Niliweza kuingia bila kulipa'. Inahusu 'ruhusa', yaani, ina maana 'Waliniruhusu kuingia bila kulipa'.

'It could rain tomorrow.' - modal of possibility. 'Labda itanyesha mvua kesho.' Inawezekana itanyesha mvua..' 'Ingeweza kunyesha mvua..' Inahusu kile ambacho kinaweza kutokea'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'I would have killed him.' This is part of a 3rd conditional structure. We use

a 'modal' (could / would / should etc.) + the 'perfect infinitive'

perfect infinitive = have + past pariciple

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'have' ni main verb kwa kawaida pia. 'I have a car.' Ninayo gari.
Kwa past simple: 'I had a car.' Nilikuwa nayo gari.

Haya yote kwa ufupi tu! Yapo mengi zaidi! Lakini komuge68 alieleza vizuri kwenye mchango wake.
 
I recommend a couple of adjustments. Here "the" is preferable to "an" because the reference is very specific. Also be careful with the use of singular and plural. A bit better, I think, would be: The accident we saw there was very bad indeed. The bus driver did not care for the wounded, but instead he disappeared. By the grace of God a good Samaritan helped them.
 
Do not focus much on grammar if you want to learn a new language unless you are a master of the grammar of your own language. Just put yourself in situations where you have no option but to speak the language you're trying to learn.
 
  • Would you like it well done? Hii sentensi ya Kiingereza inayoonesha uungwa/ustaarabu wa kumpa nafasi aliyeagiza mfano mlo wa yai la kukaanga kama nataka likaangwe kiasi/kidogo au sana(liivishwe sana). Hii ina maanisha ''mteja ni mfalme'' alitakalo mteja basi atafanyiwa.
  • Would you ....... maana yake mara nyingi unaomba ruhusu au maoni, kama vile sisi Waswahili wa Tanzania tunavyosema kwa mfano '' ... ni sawa nikija kukutembelea leo usiku ? n.k
 
Thanks for your contribution.
 
Naomba msaada wa matumizi ya maneno 'had , Could na would

Badala ya kusoma vitabu na kuangalia kwenye kamusi ya Kiingereza bila kuuliza watu ili kujijengea uwezo na kujibu assignment/ homework uliyopewa kwa uwezo wako. Baadaye unakuwa na pass nzuri kwenye cheti lakini haziendani na ulichonacho kwenye ubongo wako!!!
