Some c o m m o n verbs have more than one meaning. We do not use the continuous
form w h e n think means believe and w h e n have refers to possession. Compare:
/ think
My sister has a new car. and She isn't at home now. She's having a driving
lesson.
We do not usually use the continuous form w i t h hear, smell and taste. We can use
seeing w h e n it refers to meeting someone in the future. We often use can w i t h hear,
smell, taste and see to describe what is happening now. Compare:
/ (can) see two women in the picture, and I'm seeing my sister tomorrow evening.
We use both the continuous and simple form of look and feel to talk about now:
You're looking
I'm feeling
tired. What's the matter? and You look tired. What's the matter?

We use did not (didn't) + (he infinitive o f the verb when we f o r m the past simple
negative. The m a i n verb stays in the infinitive:

/ cut my nails every week, i didn't cut them at the weekend, so I cut them today.
A fy sister put my books on the chair. She didn't put them on the table.
The verb rtv/r/has the same infinitive and past simple f o r m , but different pronunciation:
/ read /red/ a magazine on the train this morning. I didn't read / r i : d / a newspaper.
k&lB?..
Wc use the past simple to talk about completed actions or events i n the past. We also
use the past simple to describe a permanent state and regular habits:
/ watched the news on IV last night. At half past ten I went to lied.
My father worked in Untdon for fifteen years, lie walked to the office every day.
Wc use the past continuous to refer to a particular m o m e n t and a temporary state:
/ was watching
at a sports camp.
Wc use the past simple and past continuous together when' something happened in
the middle of something else. We use the past continuous for t w o things happening at
the same time and the past simple w h e n one t h i n g happened after another. Compare:
/ was watching
TV.

We use very w i t h adjectives such as big and angry. The words huge and furious
mean
'very big' and 'very angry', so we use adverbs such as absolutely and completely instead:
/ thought the palace would be very big, but it was absolutely huge.
fr We do not use so, much or too instead of very in the above sentence.
We use really w i t h big I huge and other pairs of adjectives. Compare:
wonderful
terrible
/ don't like opera very much, but I like modern music a lot.

Some adverbs are irregular. Good is an adjective and well is an adverb; fast and hard
are b o t h . We also use hardly before a verb to mean 'only just, almost not':

works hard to improve his game.
We sometimes use adverbs such as really, completely, absolutely, truly (true + -ly) w i t h

We use which for things and who for people w h e n we combine t w o pieces of

I know a woman. She is a doctor. -/ know a woman who is a doctor.
The waiter was Italian. He served us. The waiter who served us was Italian.
We can use that instead o f which or who in sentences like these, although who is more
c o m m o n for people (especially family members). We don't usually use that for people.
