COURSE 3-MIDTERM TEST-REVISION OUTLINE-GRAMMAR

I. PAST PROGRESSIVE: STATEMENTS
AFFIRMATIVE FORM: [SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + VERB + ing...]
EXAMPLES: "She was eating when I arrived." "We were sleeping at 3:00 a.m."
NEGATIVE [SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + NOT + VERB + ing...]
EXAMPLES: "He wasn't sleeping when the phone rang." "They weren't watching TV when the news was on."
PAST PROGRESSIVE: QUESTIONS and ANSWERS YES/NO QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
FORM: [Q: WAS/WERE + SUBJECT + VERB + ing...]
[A: YES/NO + SUBJECT + BE (NOT)]
EXAMPLES: "Were the children playing in the garden when you came in?" "Yes, they were."
"Were you working in Tokyo in1991?" "No, I wasn't."
WH-QUESTIONS Questions about the SUBJECT of the sentence.
FORM: [WHO/WHAT + WAS/WERE + VERB + ing...] EXAMPLES: "Who was watching the baby last
night?"
Questions about the REST OF THE SENTENCE: [WH-WORD + WAS/WERE + SUBJECT + VERB + ing...]
"What were you doing at 10 o'clock?" "I was walking the dog." "Who was Pat looking at?" "She was looking at
Kim."

2-NGHI-C3-MIDTERM
II. INFINITIVES: AFTER ADJECTIVES
USE: Used to say how somebody thinks or feels about an action or event.
FORM: [SUBJECT + BE + ADJECTIVE + TO + VERB...]
EXAMPLES: "Mike was very surprised to see Ted with Laura." "We were delighted to see Fred at the party."
III. INFINITIVES: AFTER VERB + OBJECT
USE: When there are two verbs with different subjects in the same clause, the second is sometimes an Infinitive.
This structure is often used to talk about the first subject's attitude towards or influence on the second subject.
FORM: [SUBJECT 1 + VERB 1 + SUBJECT 2 + Infinitive] EXAMPLES: "I told Maggie to write that letter last
week."
"The teacher allowed the students to go home early." "Fred asked me to lend him some money." IV.
GERUNDS: AS SUBJECTS
USE: A GERUND can act as the subject of any verb, instead of a noun or pronoun. We often use Gerunds in this way
to make generalizations. The Gerund can stand alone, be followed by a complement (i.e. an object or an adverbial) or
by an adverbial clause.
FORM: [GERUND + (Complement/Adverb Clause) + VERB...] "Smoking is dangerous.""Eating always makes me
sleepy."
"Smoking cigars is very dangerous." (with Complement) "Playing football makes me thirsty." (with Complement)
"Smoking when you are in a crowded room is inconsiderate." (with Adverbial Clause)
"Not brushing your teeth before you go to bed is bad for your teeth." (with Adverbial Clause)
V. ADVERBS: ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY
USE: Used to talk about how often or how rarely something happens. The most important adverbs of frequency are
ALWAYS, GENERALLY, NORMALLY, USUALLY, FREQUENTLY, OFTEN, SOMETIMES, EVER,
OCCASIONALLY, SELDOM, RARELY, and NEVER.
FORM: Ad verbs of frequency normally come immediately before the verb in affirmative sentences, but after the verb
"BE". In negative sentences, adverbs of frequency normally come immediately after the word NOT. In questions,
adverbs of frequency normally come immediately after the subject.
AFFIRMATIVE [ADVERB + VERB] EXAMPLE: "I always drink champagne with
my supper."
[BE + ADVERB] EXAMPLE: "Peter is sometimes late for lessons."
NEGATIVE [NOT + ADVERB] EXAMPLES: "We don't often go to the
theater."
QUESTIONS [SUBJECT + ADVERB] EXAMPLES: "What do you usually have for
breakfast?"
VI. GERUNDS: GERUND OR INFINITIVE
USE: Several verbs can be followed by either GERUNDS or INFINITIVES. In some cases, such as REMEMBER,
FORGET, STOP, and USE, this changes the meaning of the sentence completely.
FORM + MEANING: [REMEMBER/FORGET + GERUND - memories of the past]
EXAMPLES: "I remember seeing the Beatles in 1970." "I'll never forget meeting you in Rome last year."
FORM + MEANING: [REMEMBER/FORGET + INFINITIVE - actions in the future]
EXAMPLES: "I'll remember to give him the message tomorrow." "Don't forget to feed the chickens this evening!"
FORM + MEANING: [STOP + GERUND - to finish or abandon an action]
EXAMPLE: "We stopped dancing because we were tired."
FORM + MEANING: [STOP + INFINITIVE - to start a new action]. EXAMPLE: "I stopped to tie my shoelace."
FORM + MEANING: [TRY + GERUND - to experiment; to perform an action to see what the result will be.]
EXAMPLE: "If you want to make perfect tea, try heating the pot with some boiling water before putting in the tea."
FORM + MEANING: [TRY + INFINITIVE - to attempt something; to find out whether it is possible]
EXAMPLE: "I tried to stroke the cat, but she ran away before I could touch her."

3-NGHI-C3-MIDTERM
FORM + MEANING: [LIKE + GERUND - to enjoy something] "I like eating chocolate." "I like reading
novels."
FORM + MEANING: [LIKE + INFINITIVE - to think that something is wise, right, or enjoyable]
EXAMPLES: "I like to brush my teeth after meals." "I like to answer business letters immediately."
Note the difference between USE TO + INFINITIVE and BE/GET USED TO + GERUND:
FORM + MEANING: [USED TO (past) + INFINITIVE - refers to a past habit or state which has now stopped or
changed] EXAMPLES: "I used to smoke 50 cigarettes a day, before I stopped."
"We used to live in Washington; now we live in Montreal." "My father used to have brown hair, but now he is bald."
FORM + MEANING: BE or GET USED TO + GERUND - means to consider sth normal or become accustomed to
sth]
EXAMPLES: "I'm used to driving on the left now, but when I first came to Britain it felt very strange!"
"I can't get used to being a grandmother; I feel so old!" "Don't worry; you'll get used to having grandchildren."
With some verbs (e.g. START, BEGIN, CONTINUE), it makes very little difference whether they are followed by
GERUND or an INFINITIVE, although one form may be slightly more common than the other. In the following
examples the more common form comes first.
EXAMPLES: "We started traveling/to travel at 6 o'clock." "Pat began swimming/to swim when she was six."

VII. IMPERSONAL STATEMENTS

USE: These are used to talk about time, place, weather, and other conditions in expressions where the verb "BE" has
no real subject. FORM: [IT + BE + Time expression/adjective + REST]
EXAMPLES: "It's 1 o'clock in Miami when it's 7 o'clock in Rome." "It's warm and sunny today in Washington."

VIII. CONDITIONALS (IF SENTENCES)

We use conditional sentences to talk about probable or possible outcomes that are the result of other actions. Most
conditional sentences use the word if, however, some also use when. In this unit we will learn about zero conditional
and first conditional sentences.
Zero conditionals: We use zero conditionals to talk about an action that always has the same result. Zero
conditionals talk about facts, things that are true all the time, and not just in one particular situation. Ex. If you heat
ice, it melts. When you leave unused appliances plugged in, you waste energy.
With zero conditionals, both clauses are in the Present Simple.
First conditionals: We use first conditionals to talk about a specific action that will most likely happen.
If you install a solar panel, your electricity bills will be much lower. With first conditionals, the 'condition clause' is
in the Present Simple and the 'result clause' is in the Future Simple (will + base verb).
Condition – Result If you install a solar panel, - your electricity bills will be much lower.

IX. PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE:

STATEMENTS, Q and A
USE: To talk about actions or states which began in the past and are still relevant in the present. The Present Perfect is
often used with expressions starting with FOR and SINCE, to talk about actions or states which began in the past and
are true up until the present time. It is also used with the adverbs JUST, ALREADY, and YET to talk about actions or
events which took place at an indefinite time in the past. The Present Perfect is also used to talk about recent actions
or events ("news").
FORM: The Present Perfect is made up of HAVE/HAS and the Past Participle (the third form of the verb [V3]).
AFFIRMATIVE [SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS + (just/already) + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]... (for/since...)]
EXAMPLES: "I've lived here for two years." "You've already lost one key. I can't believe you can't find the second."
"Whose package is this? It's been here since 4 p.m." "We've already met them."
"They're not hungry. They've just eaten their dinner."

4-NGHI-C3-MIDTERM
NOTE: In positive sentences, JUST and ALREADY usually go immediately before the past participle. Phrases with
FOR and SINCE go at the end of the sentence.
NEGATIVE [SUBJECT + HAVE NOT/HAVEN'T + PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]..] HAS NOT/HASN'T
EXAMPLES: "I haven't met her yet." "It hasn't begun to rain yet." "We haven't had lunch yet."
"You haven't said a word for 2 hours." "They haven't finished their breakfast."
NOTE: In negative sentences, YET and phrases with FOR and SINCE usually go at the end of the sentence.
YES/NO QUESTIONS [HAVE/HAS + SUBJECT +...PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]]
EXAMPLES: "Have you already finished your work?" "Has she finished painting the room?"
WH-QUESTIONS WH- QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SUBJECT
[WH-WORD + HAVE/HAS +...PAST PARTICIPLE [V3]] EXAMPLE: "Who has just eaten the candy?"
WH-QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REST OF THE SENTENCE
[WH-WORD + HAVE/HAS + SUBJECT +...PAST PARTICIPLE (V3)]
EXAMPLES: "Where has he put my coat?" "What have you done with the money?"
NOTE: In questions, JUST and ALREADY usually go before the Past Participle [V3]; YET and phrases with FOR
and SINCE usually go at the end of the sentence.

X. PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE

USE: To talk about a continuous or repeated action which began in the past and continues up to the present, or which
finished very recently and still has an effect. We do not normally use the Present Perfect Progressive with stative
verbs (TO HAVE RED HAIR, TO BE HAPPY/ILL/TIRED, TO KNOW THE ANSWER, etc.).
EXAMPLES: "Betty and Joe have been working all night: they're exhausted!"
"Ted, I've been telling you to make your bed for two hours!"
FORM: AFFIRMATIVE [SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS + BEEN + VERB+ing ]
EXAMPLES: "I've been sitting here for an hour." "She's been hiding in the garage."
NEGATIVE [SUBJECT + HAS/HAVE + NOT+ BEEN+ VERB+ing...]
HASN'T/HAVEN'T
EXAMPLES: "You have not (haven't) been working all week." "He has not (hasn't) been living here very long."
NOTE: The expressions FOR and SINCE are used with the Present Perfect Progressive in the same way as with the
Present Perfect Simple.
EXAMPLES: "They have been studying French for three years." "She has been living here since 1987."
