Differences between can, may and must
Can: We use this modal verb to express something that a person or object is able to do. In other
words is to talk about abilities. On the other hand, it is used to ask for permissions and to show some
possibility. Ex: I can run very fast – Mommy, Can I go to the party with my friends?
May: We use may when we want to express possibility in the present or in the future and also it is
used to ask for permission but this is so formal. EX: My friend may be too busy to respond our calls –
May I help you Sr?
Must: This modal verb is used to show obligation. Different from “have to”, Must shows that
something is mandatory to the speaker.

Difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous

present perfect
-We use the present perfect tense to talk about
things where there is a connection between the
past and the present.
EX: I’ve watched that movie many times.
present perfect continuous
-We use the present perfect continuous when
the focus is on an activity that is unfinished.
EX: I’ve been watching the series you
recommended, I have 3 episodes more to
watch!

What is a phrasal verb?

A phrasal verb is a group of words that functions as a verb and is made up of a verb plus a
preposition, an adverb, or both.
Categories of phrasal verbs:
- Transitive phrasal verbs:
Transitive verbs require an object to complete their meaning

Example; if someone says: “I’m looking for”, you would automatically think “Looking for
what?”
-I am looking for my cellphone.
My cellphone is the object (that you are looking for). Now the sentence is clear.

- Intransitive phrasal verbs:

Intransitive phrasal verbs cannot have a direct object after them. The subject is doing the
action of the verb and nothing receives the action. An intransitive verb does not pass the
action to an object.

Example; I grew up in Bogota

You cannot “grow up something”. Grow up is an intransitive phrasal verb.

- Separable phrasal verbs:

You can insert other words into the middle of a separable phrasal verb.

Example:
Please, turn on the computer – Please, turn the computer on

- Inseparable phrasal verbs:

Inseparable phrasal verbs can be transitive (they can take a direct object), but you can’t
insert that direct object into the middle of the phrasal verb. In other words, they can’t be
separated.

Example:
My neighbor’s dog passed away last night
What is an adverb?
An adverb is a word that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group,
expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.

Difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous

The difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous is that the first one is related
to an activity that started in the past but it has a relation with the present, and the second one talks
about an activity that started in the past but it is still happening (It also includes the verb with –ing)
EXAMPLES:
Present perfect: I have visited my aunt seven times this month.
Present perfect continuous: I have been reading this book for three weeks. It’s complicated.
What is a phrasal verb?
Phrasal verbs are verbs combined with another word such as; prepositions, adverbs or both. It can
change the meaning of the main verb completely.

Categories of phrasal verbs:

Transitive and intransitive phrasal verbs Separable and inseparable phrasal verbs

Transitive phrasal verbs need an object in order
to make sense. They can be separable or
inseparable.
EX:
I need to fill out this form to register for the
English course.
(fill out = complete)
Intransitive phrasal verbs have no direct object.
(A direct object is “acted upon” by the verb).
EX:
My aunt is going back to Canada next month
If a phrasal verb is separable, it means you can
separate the two words and put the direct object
in the middle. If it is inseparable, then you can’t
do this.
EX:
-He paid back the debt. OR He paid the debt
back.
- My best friend checked in at our hotel. I’m so
happy

What is an adverb?
Adverbs are describing words that answer questions such as; how? (Sadly, happily, fast), When
