Extensive English Module G Study Guide

1. Tenses

Present Simple

The Present Simple is used for:


- Repeated or habitual actions (e.g., "I go to school every day.")
- General truths, facts, and scientific laws (e.g., "The earth orbits the sun.")
- Permanent situations and routines (e.g., "He works as a teacher.")

Structure:
- For "I", "we", "you", and "they", use the base form of the verb (e.g., "They play").
- For "he", "she", and "it", add "-s" or "-es" to the verb (e.g., "She watches").
- Negative sentences use "do not" or "does not" before the base verb (e.g., "He does not like
coffee.")
- Questions are formed with "do" or "does" + subject + base verb (e.g., "Does she live here?")

Extensive Practice:
1. Write 10 sentences describing routines, using third person singular where possible.
2. Rewrite those sentences in negative form.
3. Convert your sentences into questions, ensuring proper structure.
4. Describe scientific facts using the Present Simple, such as "Water freezes at 0°C."

Present Continuous

The Present Continuous describes:


- Actions happening now (e.g., "I am reading this sentence.")
- Temporary actions or situations (e.g., "They are staying with friends for a week.")
- Future arrangements (e.g., "We are meeting him tomorrow.")

Structure: am/is/are + verb + ing


Examples:
- "He is working on a new project."
- "I am not sleeping now." (Negative)
- "Are you coming to the party?" (Question)

Extended Practice:
1. Write sentences about actions you or others are doing right now.
2. Describe temporary situations in the present using appropriate subjects and verbs.
3. Write sentences about future plans or arrangements, using this tense.

2. Modals

Modals are auxiliary verbs that add meaning to the main verb, expressing necessity,
permission, possibility, or advice.

- Must: Indicates strong obligation or necessity (e.g., "You must finish your work by 5 PM.")
- Can: Indicates ability or permission (e.g., "He can swim very well.")
- Should: Used for advice or recommendation (e.g., "You should wear a coat; it’s cold.")
- Might: Shows possibility (e.g., "They might come to the party if it doesn’t rain.")

Extended Practice:
1. Write sentences using each modal to express different types of meanings.
2. For each modal sentence, rewrite it as a negative or a question.
3. Create advice or rules using "should" or "must" to guide a friend in a scenario.

3. Relative Pronouns

Relative Pronouns connect two ideas into a single sentence, adding important information
about nouns.

- Who: Refers to people (e.g., "The artist who painted this is famous.")
- Which: Refers to things or animals (e.g., "This is the cake which I made.")
- That: Used for both people and things in defining clauses (e.g., "I have a friend that travels
a lot.")
- Whose: Shows possession (e.g., "The boy whose bike was stolen is upset.")

Extended Practice:
1. Write sentences combining two simple sentences using the correct relative pronoun.
2. Differentiate between defining and non-defining clauses by adding commas where
necessary.
3. Practice using "whose" in sentences to show ownership and clarify context.

4. Reading Comprehension Strategies

Understanding a text involves recognizing the main idea, details, and making inferences.

Techniques:

Practice:
1. Skim through a passage and summarize the main idea in two sentences.
2. List five key details found in a chosen text and explain their relevance.
3. Practice answering inference-based questions by identifying implied meanings.

5. Writing

Effective writing requires clear structure, strong arguments, and supported ideas.

Structure of an Essay:
- Introduction: Present your main idea or argument.
- Body: Use paragraphs to expand on ideas with examples and evidence.
- Conclusion: Summarize key points or provide a final thought.

Extended Practice:
1. Choose a topic and write a structured essay, ensuring clear introductions and
conclusions.
2. Use transition words and phrases to create coherence between paragraphs.
3. Review and refine your writing to improve clarity, grammar, and word choice.

6. Vocabulary Building

- Practice new words in meaningful sentences.
- Regularly review and use flashcards for memorization.

Practice:
1. Write a paragraph using at least 10 new words on a specific theme.
2. Create flashcards and test yourself on synonyms, antonyms, and definitions.
3. Choose 20 words and use each in a complex sentence, adding context for clarity.

7. Text-Based Questions

Answering questions based on a text involves identifying main ideas, locating details, and
drawing inferences.
Types of Questions:
- Main Idea: Summarizes the text's core theme or argument.
- Detail: Finds specific information or examples.
- Inference: Draws conclusions based on hints or implications in the text.

Extended Practice:
1. Read a passage and identify the main idea in a single sentence.
