Reflexive and Reciprocal Pronoun

We use reflexive pronoun when the action of the verb returns to the doer
We use reciprocal pronoun when each of two or more subjects is acting in the
same way towards the other. We use each other when we are talking about 2
people; we use one another for 3 or more people.

Future tense
Be going to:
Often expresses specific future plans or intentions. It is common in
conversation and often sounds like gonna or gunna.
Future plans, future time expressions, such as later, this afternoon. (evening,
weeknd).
Future intentions: tomorrow, etc. are often used with be going to.
Will:
Is normally used to express, offers, to make a predictions, promises, and
request, in spoken English, the contracted forms are common.

Too vs enough
We use enough to mean as much as we need or want.
Enough+noun (enough money/enough people)
Enough without a noun: Ive got some money, but not enough to buy a car
Adjective+enough
Too is used to mean more than sufficient or more/less than necessary.
Too much/too many = more than you want, more than is good.

Should vs. must


Should for giving advice, recommendation. The simple form of verb follows
should and other modal auxiliaries.

Sometimes we can substitute should for ought to, ought to is not used in the
negative
Must (for compulsion, obligation, duty)
We use must to say that we feel sure that something is true, we can use must
for very strong obligations. Is only used in the present simple.

First conditional: Is used to express future conditions or possible events.


Second conditional: is used to express imaginary events that can happen in a
hypothetical present, for something that you wish.
Third conditional: events that did not happen in the past, for something that
you regret.
We use wish to say that we regret something, that something is not as we
would like it to be, we use wish in past tense.
Hope is a more confident verb. The verb HOPE is used to express optimism;
that something is possible, we use hope in present tense.

Reported Speech
When we use reported speech, the main verb of the sentence is usually in past
(Tom said that/I told her thatetc.). The rest of the sentence is usually past,
too.
Dont lose and Dont worry are commands or IMPERATIVES. They are expressed
with NOT TO and the verb in present.

Either, neither and both.


We use all of them for two things. We use either for do a choice: one or the
other, we use neither: not one nor the other, we use both: the first and the
second. The connecting words are or, nor, and. We use either in negative
sentence. You must say both of/neither of/ either of + us/you/them
Adverbs (-ly)
Adverbs (quickly, completely, etc.) tell us about a verb. An adverb tells us how
somebody does something or how something happens
Subject + verb + object + adverb

We also use adverbs before adjectives and other verbs


We can also use an adverb before a past participle (injured/organized/written)
The people were seriously injured in the accident.
Exceptions and irregulars:
Good-Well, difficult-with difficult, public-publicly, direct-direct, hard-hard, fastfast.
