Grammar highlights

Present simple for routines

I come here every year.
What do they do in their free time?
Do you like jazz?
Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
She doesn’t usually teach at my school. Does she work in London?
Yes, she does. / No, she doesn’t.

• One use of the present simple is to talk about permanent situations and routines, e.g. He
works in a bank. She usually stays with me in the summer.
• Adverbs of frequency come before the main verb, but after the verb be, e.g. He always
arrives late. He is usually late.
• Adverbial phrases of frequency come after the verb and the object, e.g. We see her
twice a week.

Present continuous
I’m living in a hostel at the moment. Who are you waiting for?
Is he working this week?
Yes, he is. / No, he isn’t.
Why are they laughing?
They aren’t laughing.

• One use of the present continuous is to talk about things which are happening at the time
of speaking or in the current period, e.g. He’s lying in the sun at the moment. She’s staying with
her aunt this summer.
• The following verbs are not normally used in the continuous form: see, hear, notice,
recognise, like, love, want, hate, know, mean, mind, believe, forget, remember.

• It is not necessary to repeat the subject in a list of verbs in the present simple or
present continuous, e.g. He lives in Brighton, works in Lewes and goes to Bristol every
weekend. I’m lying in the sun, drinking a milkshake and listening to the birds.

Echo questions
She’s visiting relatives at the moment.
Is she? I am, too.
She bought it last week.
Did she? It’s lovely.

Infinitive of purpose
Are you here to improve your English?
He isn’t doing it to earn money; he’s doing it to meet people.

• We use echo questions to show interest or surprise.

• We can express a positive purpose by using an infinitive + to, e.g. I’m doing exercises to
get fit.

Grammar highlights

• The past simple positive form of regular verbs ends in -ed. In most cases, we add -ed to
the infinitive: climb/climbed, but:
— if the infinitive ends in -e, we add -d: arrive/arrived; die/died.
— if the infinitive ends in a consonant + y, we delete the y and add -ied: study/studied;
cry/cried.
— if the infinitive ends in a stressed syllable of one vowel and one consonant (not y or w),
we double the consonant: trip/tripped; step/stepped. Note: There are some exceptions, e.g.
travel/travelled.
• There is a list of irregular verbs at the back of this book.

Past simple
We arrived late.
She left early.
They didn’t stay.
Did you meet your friend?
Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
Forrás: http://www.doksi.hu

Who did you talk to?

Didn’t you meet anyone?
They arrived last week.
I met her this summer.
Didn’t she phone this morning?

• We make questions with did + infinitive and negative statements with didn’t + infinitive.

• We often use time adverbials with the past simple, e.g. I arrived an hour ago.
• We say in the morning/ afternoon/evening but at night.
• We do not use prepositions in time adverbials if we are using the demonstrative pronoun
this, e.g. They arrived this morning. (not They arrived in this morning.)

• We use so to talk about a consequence and because to talk about a reason.

Conjunctions so and because

I was tired so I went to bed.

Grammar highlights

Defining relative clauses with who, which, where

The girl who lives next door is Australian.
Where is the money which was on the table?
Forrás: http://www.doksi.hu

I know a place where you can get cheap CDs.

Non-defining relative clauses with who, which, where

Jim, who loves cooking, made that cake.
Strawberries, which are my favourite fruit, are delicious with sugar and fresh cream.
I often go to stay in Penzance, which is a busy seaside town in Cornwall.
Penzance, where my friend Georgia lives, is a busy seaside town.

• Defining relative clauses give essential information. They do not have commas.

• Non-defining relative clauses, which give extra information and which can be left out,
have a comma before the relative clause and a comma or full stop after it.

• In relative clauses, we use who to refer to people, which to refer to things and where to
refer to places.
• In defining relative clauses, we can also use that to refer to people and things, e.g.
He’s got a jacket that cost £200.

Future with going to

I’m going to walk.
We aren’t going to take the bus.
Are you going to buy a new bike?
Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.
Isn’t Lucy going to give us a lift?

• We use going to to talk about intentions, e.g. ‘There’s no milk.’ ‘Yes, I know. I’m going to
buy some.’
• We also use going to for predictions about the immediate future, particularly when
we already have evidence of what is going to happen, e.g. Look at those clouds. It’s going to
rain.

Future with will/won’t

I’ll (will) be back soon. (promise)
Jim won’t (will not) be late. (prediction)
You’ll (will) be sorry. (threat)
OK, we’ll (will) leave tomorrow. (decision)
Will there be a night bus?
Yes, there will. / No, there won’t.
Won’t it be dangerous to cycle in the dark?
Forrás: http://www.doksi.hu

Future with present continuous

We’re seeing him tomorrow.
They aren’t coming on Sunday.
Are you working next week?
Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.
Aren’t they getting married this July?

• We use will/won’t for predictions, promises, threats and decisions. We also use will/won’t
to give opinions after verbs like be sure, think, know and hope.

• We use the present continuous to talk about definite future arrangements. This tense is
common with time phrases, e.g. I’m seeing Jim tomorrow.

• We form the comparative of short adjectives (not ending in y) by adding -er or -r, and the
superlative by adding -est or -st, e.g. strong, stronger, strongest; large, larger, largest.
• When an adjective has one or two syllables and ends in y, we usually form the
comparative and superlative by deleting the y and adding -ier/-iest, e.g. funny, funnier, funniest.
• When an adjective has one syllable and ends in one vowel and one consonant, we double
the final consonant in the comparative and superlative, e.g. fit, fitter, fittest.
• To form the comparative and superlative of long adjectives, we put more or most in
front of the adjective, e.g. more independent, most independent.

Intensifier much + comparative adjective

He’s much healthier than his brother.

Comparison with (not) as ... as

This CD isn’t as good as her first one.
My bike was just as expensive as yours.
Is the water as cold as it was yesterday?

• We can use the intensifier much to make a comparative stronger.

• We can also use as ... as with almost, nearly or just, e.g. The beach is almost as
crowded as it was yesterday.

Grammar highlights

Past simple and past continuous with time markers while, as, when
While I was swimming, somebody stole my clothes. I was watching TV when I heard a scream.
As we were talking, the lights went out.
He wasn’t going fast when his car hit the tree. What was she wearing when you saw her?
Was she wearing a hat when you saw her?

• We often use the past simple and the past continuous tense in the same sentence. The past
continuous describes the longer action or situation and the past simple describes the shorter action
or situation, e.g. While I was talking to Jane, Rob ran past.
• Clauses in the past continuous are often introduced by while and as. Clauses in the past
simple are often introduced by when.
• When the while, when or as clause comes first, it is followed by a comma.

She knows Rosie, doesn’t she?
I told you, didn’t I?
I haven’t failed my exam, have I?

You didn’t find her, did you?
She hasn’t seen us, has she?
He can’t dive, can he?
You won’t lose the money, will you?

• One use of question tags is to check information.

• We use a positive statement followed by a negative tag when we expect the answer Yes,
e.g. You’re American, aren’t you?
• We use a negative statement followed by a positive tag when we expect the answer No,
e.g. They haven’t arrived yet, have they?

• The present perfect simple tense is often used with the words just, already and yet. The
words just and already come between the auxiliary verb have and the main verb. The word yet
comes at the end of the sentence.
• We normally use just and already in positive statements.
• We normally use yet in questions and negative statements.

Present perfect simple with time adverbials just, already, yet

I’ve just seen a brilliant film.
They’ve already told me about it.
Mark hasn’t arrived yet.
Have you spoken to Angela yet?
He’s already seen Titanic. He saw it last month.
He’s just bought a motorbike. He bought it in Brighton.
I got my new camera last week, but I haven’t used it yet.

• We use the present perfect simple tense to talk about an action in the past that has a result
now. We use the past simple tense to talk about a completed action in the past.
• With past time adverbials like ago, yesterday, last year, in 1989, we use the past simple
(not the present perfect simple) e.g. I saw him a week ago. (not I’ve seen him a week ago.)

• The verb go has two present perfect forms: have/has gone and have/has been. We use
have/has been when the person has made a visit and come back, e.g. She has been to
Newquay. (= She has visited Newquay and returned.) We use have/has gone when the
person has not returned, e.g. He has gone to India. (= He is in India. He isn’t here.)

• We use should and ought to when we give advice or make a strong suggestion. They mean
the same, but should is more common, especially in questions.

• In positive statements, we normally use have to to talk about obligations which come from
other people, or from routines.
• In positive statements, we normally use must to express the feelings and wishes of the
speaker.
• Have to and must are very close in meaning. In positive statements, if you aren’t sure
which to use, it’s safest to use have/has to.
• We can’t use must to talk about past obligations. We use had to.

• The negatives mustn’t and don’t/ doesn’t have to have completely different meanings. We
use mustn’t to talk about prohibition. We use don’t/doesn’t/didn’t have to to express a lack of
obligation.
• In questions and negatives with have to, we normally use the auxiliaries do, does, did.

after the match?

• We use will/won’t to talk about definite future events.

• We use may/might to talk about possible future events. There is no difference between
may and might in this case.

• There is no short form of may or might.

• Mightn’t is the short form of the negative might not. There is no short form of the
negative may not.

• The first conditional is used to describe a possible future event and its consequences.
• If or unless can introduce a first conditional clause. Unless means if ... not, e.g. I won’t
phone if there isn’t a problem. = I won’t phone unless there’s a problem.
• In first conditional sentences, the verb in the if/unless clause is in the present simple tense.
The verb in the main clause is often in the future simple tense (will/won’t).
• Will and won’t can be replaced in the main clause by may (not), might (not) or can.
• When the if/unless clause comes first, we separate it from the main clause with a
comma,e.g. If I find the photo, I’ll send it to you.
• When the main clause comes first, there is no comma between it and the if/unless
clause, e.g. They may not come if the weather is bad. They won’t cycle unless the weather is
good.

First conditional: if/unless clause + ’ll (will)/won’t

If I see one, I’ll buy one for you.
I’ll buy one for you if I see one.
If you don’t leave now, you’ll miss the train.
Unless you leave now, you’ll miss the train.
You’ll miss the train unless you leave now.

• The past simple passive is formed with the past tense of the verb be and the past participle
of the main verb.

• We use the passive when we are more interested in the action or process than the person
or thing that causes it, e.g. A lot of money was stolen from the bank. (= We don’t know who stole
it.) Are the animals treated well? (= It’s not important who treats them well.)
• If we want to say who does the action or what causes it, we use by, e.g. This picture was
painted by a girl in my class.

• We do not need to repeat the verb be if we are giving a list of actions in the passive, e.g.
The apples are washed, dried and delivered to the storeroom.

Pronouns: someone, anyone, no one, everyone

There’s someone at the front door.

No one sent me a birthday card this year.
Has everyone got a ticket?
Pronouns: something, anything, nothing, everything
I’ve got something funny to tell you.
She didn’t have anything interesting to say.
There’s nothing for us to do in this town.
He gave everything to charity.
Pronouns: somewhere, anywhere, nowhere, everywhere
Let’s go somewhere different this evening.
‘Where shall we go?’ ‘Anywhere. You choose.’
The club was very crowded. There was nowhere to sit.
I’ve looked everywhere for my purse but I can’t find it.

• We can also use -body instead of -one: somebody, anybody, nobody, everybody, e.g. I
didn’t know anybody at the party.
• Generally we use someone, somebody, something and somewhere in positive statements.
We also use them in questions when we offer things, e.g. Would you like something to drink?
• Generally we use anyone, anybody, anything and anywhere in questions and negative
statements.
• We use anyone, anybody, anything and anywhere when we mean ‘it doesn’t matter who,
what, where,’ e.g. ‘Who shall I bring to your party?’ ‘Anyone.’ ‘What would you like to drink?’
‘Anything.’
• When we use the negative words no one, nothing and nowhere, we do not use a negative
verb, e.g. He did nothing. (= He didn’t do anything.) I saw no one. (= I didn’t see anyone.)
• All these pronouns take singular verbs, e.g. No one knows the answer. Everyone has to
bring a notebook and pencil. But we often use their and they after these pronouns, e.g. Somebody
has left their keys here. (their keys = his or her keys)

• We use the second conditional to talk about unreal or unlikely situations, or to give
advice.
• If I were you is more common than If I was you.
