We use HAVE TO and MUST
to say it’s necessary to do
something. Sometimes, it
doesn’t matter which one you
use: “It’s getting late. I must go
home.” or “It’s getting late. I
have to go home.”
- MUST is personal. It expresses
our personal feelings The speaker
thinks it’s necessary to do as he
says.
“I must study harder, because I
want to pass the test this time!”
- MUST can be used to talk about
the present and the future, not the
past: “I must study tomorrow”
- MUSTN’T is used for
prohibition. It means “it is
necessary that you do NOT do
something”
“The meeting is very important.
You mustn’t be late!”
- HAVE TO is impersonal. It is
used for FACTS, not for
personal feelings. We use it
when there is an external rule
or situation.
“You can’t park here. You have
to park in the blue area”
“I have to tidy my bedroom or
my mother won’t let me go out”
- HAVE TO can be used in the
present, past and future: “I
have to send an email” “I had
to send an email” “I’ll have to
send an email”
- DON’T/DOESN’T HAVE TO
means “you don’t need to do
something”. There’s no
obligation. It’s totally different
from “mustn’t”

 Forming the Past Continuous
Tense
To form the verb in the Past
Continuous Tense you need
the correct form of ‘to be’
(was or were) and the –ing
(Gerund) form of the verb.
I 7) run  ___________________
He
She
Itwasreading a book.
watching TV.
going to the cinema.

raining.You
We
Theywere
Spelling rules
Mostly the verb gets an –ing in
the Present Continuous Tense.
E.g.: starting, playing, looking,
skiing …
If the verb is monosyllabic, it
ends with a vowel +
consonant, and the vowel is
short (pronunciation) then the
consonant at the end of the
verb doubles. E.g.: run 
running
If the verb ends with –l, it
doubles. E.g.: travel 
travelling
If the verb is multisyllabic,
and 2nd point holds true of the
last syllable then the
consonant at the end of the
verb doubles. E.g.: permit,
admit
If the verb ends with a mute –
e, you have to leave it out.
E.g.: make  making
There are verbs ending with –
ie, like ‘lie’. In the Gerund form
the ‘ie’ changes into ‘y”.
e.g.: lie  lying
Other verbs: die, outlie, tie,
untie, …etc.
Exceptions
There are some verbs that we
don’t use in the past continuous
tense. (Because they aren’t
action verbs.)
e.g.: like, love,
hate, smell,
seem, believe,
understand,
realise, belong,
know, want,
need, depend,
suppose …
Task 1 - Form the Gerund form of the following verbs.
1) get  ___________________
2) open  __________________
3) take  __________________
4) travel  _________________

ends with a vowel +
consonant, and the vowel is
short (pronunciation) then the
consonant at the end of the
verb doubles. E.g.: run 
running
If the verb ends with –l, it
doubles. E.g.: travel 
travelling
If the verb is multisyllabic,
and 2nd point holds true of the
last syllable then the
consonant at the end of the
verb doubles. E.g.: permit,
admit
If the verb ends with a mute –
e, you have to leave it out.
E.g.: make  making
There are verbs ending with –
ie, like ‘lie’. In the Gerund form
the ‘ie’ changes into ‘y”.
e.g.: lie  lying
Other verbs: die, outlie,
tie, untie, …etc.
Exceptions
There are some verbs that we
don’t use in the past continuous
tense. (Because they aren’t
action verbs.)
e.g.: like, love, hate, smell,
seem, believe,
understand, realise,
belong, know, want, need,
depend, suppose …

NAME : _____________________________ CLASS : ___________

READ THE TEXT CAREFULLY AND ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS

Doctors tell us to eat more fruits and more

vegetables. They tell us to drink more water and less
fizzy drinks. But do we listen?? No, we continue to eat
lots of junk food like pizza, sweets, chips, cakes and
biscuits.

We are what we eat. If we keep putting bad things into our

bodies every day, like lots of fats and sugar, we will see bad things
happen to our body. Unhealthy food makes your body unhealthy. When
you get older you start to have a lot of problems like heart diseases.
We only think that burgers taste better than salad. We think that the
juice we buy from the supermarket is more delicious than the juice we
make at home. Burgers, French Fries and fizzy drinks may be delicious
but they haven’t got enough vitamins and minerals. Your body needs
vitamins and minerals to grow healthy. Healthy food gives our body the
vitamins and the minerals it needs.

People eat junk food because it is tasty but everybody can

have a tasty meal at home. The only problem is that buying
fresh products and cooking takes time. And people prefer to
spend time doing other activities such as watching films,
meeting friends, walking in parks and so on. I also like to do
these activities but I am very careful of my body. If you want
to be healthy, you should eat healthy food every day!!

You have to use indirect speech / reported speech if you want to encase the quoted
sentence into a sentence. In this case there are going to be several changes in the
quoted sentence.

C) The order of the reported
statements.
When you encase the quoted sentence, you
have to use the following order:

+ verb) + Object + Adverbs (place, time …)
Let’s see two examples:
 Yesterday I went to the shop.
Mary says to Peter she went to the
shop the day before.
 Now I am drawing a flower into my
notebook.
Mary says to Peter she is drawing a
flower into her notebook then.
E) The order of the reported
commands / suggestions / requests
You have to change the verb into
TO+INFINITIVE. If it is a negative
command you have to change it into NOT+
TO+INFINITIVE.
Let’s see two examples:
 Go to your room.
Mary tells the children to go to their
room.
 Don’t watch late night films.
Mary tells the children not to watch late
night films.
The most common used verb to introduce a
reported command is ‘tell’. If there is
‘please’ in the direct command, you have If the person is mentioned in

e.g.: Please, don’t give up.
He asks me not to give up.
D) The order of the reported

Yes-no question:
whether /if + Subject + Predicate (modal
verb if necessary + verb) + Object +

Let’s see two examples:
 Do you like chocolate?
Mary asks Peter whether/if he likes
chocolate.
 Have you ever been to Scotland?
Mary asks Peter whether/if he has
ever been to Scotland.
Wh-question:
Wh-question pronoun + Subject +
Predicate (modal verb if necessary +
verb) + Object + Adverbs (place, time)
Let’s see two examples:
 Where do you usually buy food?
Mary asks Peter where he usually
buys food.

camera?

that camera.
BE CAREFUL! You have to leave out
“do”, “does” and “did” if there isn’t
negation in the sentence.
the direct command, you have
to write it into the introduction.
e.g.: Children, drink your juice.
Mother tells the children to drink
their juice.
 Step 2 - THE GRAMMAR part 2

simple.
A) Go back a tense

Short answer in reported speech:
e.g.: Have you done the homework? Yes, I have. Sam asked Mary if she had done the
homework and she said she had.
