from crops, rather than using fuels such as oil or coal:
Will never run up..

complete. A clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate.

Adverbs of frequency-There are six main adverbs of frequency that we use in

English: always, usually (or normally), often, sometimes, rarely, and never

Infinitives are a special form of verbs that can be used as a noun, adjective, or adverb.
They are usually made by adding the word to before the base verb, and they can be useful
when discussing actions without actually doing the action, such as “I want to go home,”
Examples of infinitives include to read, to run, to jump, to play, to sing, to laugh, to cry, to eat,
and to go. 

Verbs in English come in three main categories: the affirmative, the negative, and the
interrogative.

The affirmative= asserting that something is true or valid.

The negative= a reply denying something.
The interrogative= asking a question.

Adjective-a word that describes a noun or pronoun:

Imperatives--a sentence that gives a command or gives a request to do

something:

Here are some examples of imperative sentences:

 Remember to pick up the dry cleaning today.

 Tell me if I should go to Hawaii or Alaska for my summer vacation.

Leave the book under my doormat.

PCV-The present continuous verb tense indicates that an action or condition is

happening now, frequently, and may continue into the future.

Present continuous positive form
To form the present continuous, we use the am / is / are form of the verb "to
be" plus  the infinitive of the verb plus  an -ing ending. The form is the same for
each subject.

Present continuous tense denotes actions/events that are already in progress

while we speak about them.

 The boys are playing in the park.
 The baby is crying out loud.

Catwalk-the long, narrow stage that models walk along in

A stressed syllable has a longer, louder, and higher sound than the other syllables in the
word.

Word stress is the emphasis we place in a specific syllable of a word when pronouncing it.
In English words that have more than one syllable, we usually don't pronounce every syllable
with the same weight, so each syllable in a word can be stressed or unstressed

The stress is important especially

Desert, /ˈdez.ət/ area-- deSsert /dɪˈzɜːt/ (food)

One word, one stress. (One word cannot have two stresses. So if you hear two stresses, you have
heard two words, not one word.)
