[1 67 Phrasal verb table ES Worksheets marked with this symbol have accompanying cassette tape drills. The tapescripts for these drills are at the end of the book. They are numbered 1 to 22. Introduction These worksheets form the second part of a structural self-access system. They are intended for intermediate students of English and deal with a wide range of the grammatical points covered in intermediate course books, from Preliminary English 'Test level, through to the First Certificate and leading towards the Cerlificate of Advanced English. They offer a brief explanation and/or illustration of each point before providing an exercise, with answers given inverted at the bottom of each page for immediate checking. They present broad rules and guidelines, leaving most exceptions and complex explanations to the teacher, grammar or course book. They are not intended as an alternative to any of these, but as a supplement, providing more extensive illustration and practice of individual points. They are designed to be photocopied and placed in self-access or resources centres, and to be written on by students and corrected by themselves. For this reason, they are in A4 format, There are simple line drawings that illustrate the grammatical points and ample space for students to write in their answers. Teachers may also find the sheets useful for follow-up practice of grammar points presented or reviewed in the lesson, either individually or as pai work, with each couple checking answers as they proceed, or as a homework exercise. In this case the teacher may wish to mask the answer section while photocopying the sheet, and go over the answers in class. There is a simple glossary sheot (overleaf) giving illustrations of the terms used in the explanations, which the students should use in association with the worksheets. Worksheet 1 gives practice in recognising these terms, and on sheets 67 and 68 there is a list of the most common phrasal verbs, with example sentences for each, together with the type (see Worksheets 53 to 56). ‘The accompanying cassette provides simple drills, revising the points covered in the exercises, in order to give students the opportunity to listen and pronounce new words or structures in association with the writing exercises. ‘The tapescripts for the cassette are provided at the back of the book. Not all of the Worksheets have accompanying cassette exercises, but those that have are marked with a cassette symbol. Teachers or resources managers are recommended to copy the tapescript onto the reverse of the relevant Worksheet. In order to provide as much material on the cassette as possible, pauses are kept to.a minimum, and students should be trained how to pause the master cassette in order to allow sufficient time to respond. Otherwise pauses ean be added to the cassette according to local requirements. Worksheet 2 gives guidance to students on how to use the cassette. ‘Note that apart from the introductory Worksheets 1 and 2, the Worksheets are arranged in alphabetical order for ease of reference and for filing in the resource centre.

The person who spoke was angry. Tl go as soon as they have arrived. She smiled at him, Grammatical terms When Is a verb not a verb? Every word in English can be put into a grammatical category, such as noun, verb, preposition, ete, Some words may belong to more than one category, depending on their meaning and how they are used. Examples: She likes ice-cream (verb). He has many likes and dislikes (noun). ‘You must do it like this (preposition), All good learner's dictionaries give the category after the headword, before the definition. Example: Biology noun [U] the scientific study of living things Exercise A Choose one of the grammatical terms from the box to describe each of the underlined words or phrases in the following sentences: adverb of frequency | gerund | phrasal verb | adjective | preposition reflexive pronoun | conjunction | present participle | noun | adjective ‘That bull looks friendly enough. jective Which blue do you prefer, the dark one or the light one? Tve just bought a nice blue scarf. I sometimes wonder why I bother. ‘The cat was hiding under the table. ‘My boyfriend hates dancing. ‘He made himself another cup of tea. We'll all go home as soon as the bell rings. Mary really works hard, 10 Last night I dreamed I was an elephant. 11 She has lovely smiling eyes. 12 T'm going to give up smoking next year. Exercise B ‘The verb in English has a tense. It can also be simple or continuous, active or passive, positive or negative. Describe the following verbs. Example: The house was being painted. ast continuous passive ‘The moon had risen when they left. ‘The food will be divided amongst them. She has been sitting here for over an hour. He cut his finger. She won't have heard yet. ‘What's happening? ‘The lights weren't working at the time. ‘This picture wasn't painted by Picasso. ‘ntesod ajduis 350d g ‘ane axneBou snonuuoa sod 4 taapow snonunuoD “qs josoayd gr ‘oxdmred awosead 1 juosoud 9 ‘onnse aanafou ojduntsyoqiad axmyny @ ‘apenue OF ‘qu9Ape @ ‘uoRAUNTUGD g ‘aanae aydwis 7986. leaf" anonTIUES yoo} qUDsAL sunowosd aapeayed £ ‘punso® 9 ‘uoqodaud g ‘usved aduns aumyny g,‘aange dusts payed ed 1 “Aouanbayo qieape y ‘oanpolpe g ‘unow Z ‘ennefpe TY SuaMSNV Andy and ry Skeets Grama Werk Pteopy Mtr © trata ak Dutt a 296 Al gh rad Using the tapescripts EE I’m sorry, I'll say that again. Some of the Intermediate Worksheets (those marked with 4) have accompanying drills on the cassette. These drills take one of the grammatical points from the Worksheet and give a set of sentenc using it with everyday vocabulary and situations. ‘There are always two examples given of the kind of response expected. These are given at the beginning and then repeated, introducing a bell sound to tell you when to respond. Some of the responses may be quite long and complicated. You may be required to change tenses, or nouns to pronouns, etc. Itis difficult at first to remember what to say and how to say it. To get used to using the drills there are a number of things you can do. 1 Listen to the drill all the way through ~ do not try to answer yourself. 2 Listen to the drill and repeat the answer silently with the speaker. 8 Keep your finger on the pause button of your machine, and stop your machine as soon as you hear the bell, to give yourself time to work out and practise the answer silently before you respond. Then start to speak as soon as you release the pause button. 4 Repeat the correct response again, immediately after hearing it, before the next question. This time, try to concentrate on getting the same intonation in your voice as the speaker. 5 Relax and enjoy the drills. You may find some of them silly or stupid, but all the language practised is useful! 6 Try to make up some more drills using the same grammar point, and check them with your teacher to see if they are correct. Here is part of Exercise 1 from the tape. Before you listen to it, try to complete the sentences: Jane: Tve just met aman. He was wearing a pink wig. Mary: Really! You met a man wearing a pink wig? Jane: Yes, and I met a girl who had a snake round her neck. 1 Mary: Jane: Yes, and then I met a film producer. He had a long beard. 2 Mary: Jane: Yes, and then I met a dentist.

They use some or a unit noun such asa bit Of... piece of... cup of... @ loaf of... ete Examples: a piece of news, a loaf of bread, some milk, some cheese Some nouns are usually uncountable, but can have a countable form which means ‘one unit or specific example of...” Examples: ike chocolate.

The safest way is to use a comma if it helps to make the meaning of the sentence clearer. In general terms, it is wise to use a comma: 1 whenever the normal order of the sentence (subject->verb—robject/adverbial,ete.) is disturbed as, for example, when a sentence starts with a long adverbial or a clause, Examples: ADVERBIALCLAUSE | COMMA SUBJECT ‘VERB (OBJECTADVERBIAL, ETC.

Example: Did you bring any water? 8 little and few are negative ideas, a little and a few are positive. Examples: Uhave little time, so 1 must hurry. Ihave a little time, so I can stay for a while. Thave few problems, so I am quite happy. Ihave a few problems, so I am rather worried. 4 much and many are normally used with a negative verb (or the question How...) in informal language. They are found with a positive verb in formal language, We normally use @ lot of lots of in positive statements. Examples: She doesn't need much encouragement. She has lots of courage.

RELATIVE CLAUSES tell us more about the noun they deseribe, and can be divided into two categories, defining, and non-defining. DEFINING NON-DEFINING Defining clauses identify the noun. Non-defining clauses give supplementary information. Speak to the man who is standing by the door. Speak to my father, who is standing by the door. Defining clauses are not separated by commas. Non-defining clauses are separated by commas. ‘The man who was elected knew nothing about the job. | ‘The Prime Minister, who was elected in 1992, has been in power for three years. Defining clauses may omit the relative abject pronoun, | Non-defining clauses always use the relative pronoun ‘The man (that) you want is by the door. ‘The pronoun that is never used for non-defining clauses, Gandhi, who you've read about, was a pacifist. OR Gandhi, about whom you have read. was 8 pacifist. Exercise A DEFINING CLAUSES. Join the following pairs of sentences as in the example, omitting the relative where possible. Example: The book has been borrowed by someone else. You wanted it. ‘The book you wanted has been borrowed by someone else. 1 Tean't find the prints. ‘This customer ordered them. 2 Have you seen the film?

Example: Where are you going? She asked me where I was going. Yes/No questions are reported using if or whether. Example: Isit raining? She asked if it was raining, 2 The general rule is that if the speaking verb, for example, ask, is in the past tense, the verbs which follow are in the past tense (see Elementary Worksheet 66). However, if the reported words are a general truth, the tense may remain in the present. Example; Where are you going? She asked me where I was going. Where do kangaroos live?

When we want to do something, but cannot or do not want to do it ourselves, we ask someone else to do it for us. The person who does it may be less important to us than what is done, so we use the causative passive ~ we use have or get with the past participle of the verb (v-ed): You really must get your hair cut. We're having a pool built in the garden. Get and have mean the same, but we use have in more formal situations (and with the present perfect to avoid the confusion with other uses of have got). Exercise A Rewrite the following sentences using have + v-ed if it is formal (F), and get + v-ed if itis informal (1). (Make sure you keep the same tense, and omit the words in italics.)

Intransitive verbs (go, smile, etc.) ean never be passive. 8 We use the passive when we are more concerned with the object of the action, and don't know, are not interested in or want to avoid mentioning the person or thing that did the action. If we wish to include this original subject, it follows the verb and by (He was killed by a lion). 4 Where a verb has two objects (He gave me a book) either object can become the subject (I was given a book /A book was given to me). The first example is more common. Exercise A Rewrite the following sentences in the passive. Omit the agent (the active subject) where appropriate. 1 The government is going to raise taxes again this year, 2 Someone had broken the window before we got here. 8 Lightning may have struck the church tower. 4 Twould have finished the painting if you hadn't interrupted me.
