Games and Activities

1. Role play. Students practise short conversations


about a holiday vacation, using the model of ques-
tions and answers in Exercise 3. They can change
the answers and ask more questions. Then some
volunteers present their dialogues to the rest of the
class.

2. Guessing game. Write on the board the different


words from the Unit. Place a seat in front of the
board, with the back against it and divide the class
into two teams. A volunteer from one group sits
while another volunteer from their group mimes
the action. The student on the seat has to say the
full expression to get a mark for the group. They
have three chances. If they cannot guess correctly
there is no mark given to any group. Then another
volunteer from the other group sits down and the
process is repeated.

3. Write a short composition. Students write a


paragraph with five to ten sentences about imag-
inary travels on vacation. They may use the ques-
tions in Exercise 3 as a guide, and the vocabulary in
Exercises 1, 2 and 4 to get ideas.

Grammar Reference
GRAMMAR REFERENCE
Unit 1
Present Perfect
Form present with the present tense of verb have and the past participle of a verb

We have worked at the bank since 2014.

She has been to Chicago twice this year.

We use the present perfect for:

1. Actions which started in the past and still continue in the present.

They have lived in China all their lives

2. Experiences

This has been the best day of my life.

3. Actions which have recently finished and their results are visible in the present.

I have just finished my breakfast

4. Actions which happened at an unspecified time in the past. The exact time is not mentioned because it
is not important.

I have lost my keys.

5. Repeated actions in the past that continue in the present.

I have played the piano since I was 5 years old.

Questions and Negatives

To write the question, move verb have before the subject.

Have you ever been to Chicago?

Has he studied English for years?

Where have you been?

274
For short answers, use the verb have.

Yes, I have

Yes, he has

For negative answers, use verb have and not, or the contractions haven’t or hasn’t.

No, I have not

No I haven’t

No, he has not

No he hasn’t

Time expressions

Some expressions used with the present perfect are:

How long – for questions

Already – normally in positive sentences.

Yet – normally in questions or negative sentences.

Ever- normally in both positive of negative sentences.

Never – negative meaning.

For – over a period of time.

Since – from a starting point in the past.

Recently – normally in positive sentences

So far – normally in positive statements.

Differences between present perfect and past simple.

The main differences are:

1. The present perfect is used for unfinished actions that started in the past and continue to the present:

I’ve known Penny for ten years (and I still know her).

2. The past simple is used for finished actions:

I knew Penny for ten years (but then she moved away and we lost touch).

275
UNIT 2.

Direct Speech and Reported Speech


Direct speech is the actual words people say, while reported or indirect speech tells us what people
have said. In direct speech we use quotation marks.

She said, “This is a wonderful day.”

In reported speech we do not use quotation marks.

She says this is a wonderful day.

She said that was a wonderful day.

When reporting in present tense, there are no changes in the verb.

Direct Speech: “Mary is a good friend.”

Indirect Speech: She tells me (that) she is a good friend.

When reporting using a past verb, we change the tense of all the verbs that follow and words referring to
time and place.

Verb changes

When the report is in past tense, there are some changes to bear in mind. These are some of the verb
changes

Direct Speech Reported Speech


Present Tense Past Tense

UNIT 3

Reporting questions
Some general guidelines to report questions are the following:

278
1. Word order changes from question to statement.

2. Do not use auxiliaries do, does and did.

3. For yes or no questions, you if or whether to introduce the clause.

Examples:

Direct Speech: “What’s your name?”

Indirect Speech: She asked me what my name was.

Direct Speech: “Where do you work?”

Indirect Speech: She asked me where I worked.

Direct Speech: “Are you from Chicago?”

Indirect Speech: She asked me if I was from Chicago.”

To report a question-word question, use the same question word, but change the rest of the question into
a statement.

Mary said, “Where is my new dress?

Mary asked where her new dress was.

UNIT 4

Must and Have to


Both must and have to express obligation or necessity, but there are some small differences:

1. Must expresses the speaker’s feelings, whereas have to expresses an impersonal idea, a rule or a law:

You must come. You are obliged to come (I require that you come)

You have to come. You are obliged to come. (There’s a rule requiring you to come)

Must I wear this tie? Am I obliged to wear this tie? (What do you think?)

2. Have to mainly expresses general obligations, while must is used for specific

obligations:

I have to brush my teeth twice a day.

I must tell you something.

279
In their negative forms, mustn’t and don’t have to have completely different meanings:

1. Mustn’t expresses prohibition

You mustn’t drive.

(You are prohibited to drive. You are not allowed to drive).

2. Don’t have to expresses the absence of obligation or necessity:

You don’t have to drive. (You are not obliged to drive, but you can if you want to).

2. In questions, do (does) ….. have to is used.

Do I have to do all this work?

Does she have to go to school today?

To express obligation, duty or necessity in the future or the past, must is

not used. It is replaced by have to:

We must (need to) buy another ticket.

We had to buy another ticket yesterday.

We’ll have to buy another ticket later.

UNIT 5

Passive Voice. Present and Past Tense


We use the passive when we are more interested in the action than who or what is responsible for it (the
agent). The passive is formed with the verb be in the main tense of the active sentence and the past par-
ticiple of the main verb.

Active: English people serve tea with cakes.

Passive: Tea is served with cakes (by English people).

Active: The kids are watching the film.

Passive: The film is being watched by the kids.

We can summarise the main changes from active to passive in the following chart

280
Active Passive
Present simple is/am/are + pp (*)
Present continuous is/am/are + being
+ pp
Past simple was/were + pp

(*) pp: past participle.

UNIT 6

Participles
a. The past participle (-ed) adjective describes how a person feels.

I worked hard, so I’m tired.

I was excited when I was watching the match.

b. The present participle (-ing) adjective describes the cause of the feeling.

The news was surprising.

The book is interesting.

The work was tiring.

The match was exciting.

Some irregular adjectives do not end with an -ing like: delightful, impressive, pleasant. Examples:

The party was delightful.

The statue was impressive.

So – Such

To increase the degree of adjective we can use so or such:

The film was so boring.

It was such a boring film.

You can add a clause following the following patterns:

281
so + adjective + that

The man is so tall that he can touch the ceiling.

such (a / an) + adjective + noun + that

He is such a tall man that he can touch the ceiling.

Never use so and such after a or an.

UNIT 7.

Should – Should have


We use should + infinitive to give advice to someone. Should also expresses

a suggestion or something that needs to happen.

You should do your homework regularly.

Should have expresses a past expectation that was not met. What we normally expect did not happen.

He didn’t pass his exams. He should have studied hard.

Conditional Sentences Type 2

The second conditional is used to talk about ‘unreal’ or impossible things in the present time. These sit-
uations are unreal or imaginary situations which are unlikely to happen in the present or the future. The
structure is usually:

if + past simple, would + infinitive

If we had a lot of money, we would buy a farm in the country.

If I were you, I wouldn’t buy a car.

Conditional Sentences Type 3

Type 3 conditional expresses imaginary situations in the past, that is, they refer to past situations that did
not happen. The structure is the following:

if + had + past participle, would + have + past participle.

282
If she had called, I would have told her about the meeting.

If he had told me, I wouldn’t have come.

UNIT 8

Gerund and Infinitive


The gerund is a noun formed by adding an ing to the end of the verb. We can use it as subject or object:

Baking bread is not difficult.

My hobby is baking desserts.

There are certain rules to form gerunds with the verbs and their –ing form

Case Example
Most verbs: add -ing Listening

Speaking
Verbs ending in a e: Live – living

Delete e and add –ing Write – writing


Verbs ending in Plan – planning
consonant + vowel +
consonant: double the Swim – swimming
final consonant and
add –ing.
But to not double the Know – knowing
consonant in verbs
ending in w, x or y Enjoy – enjoying

Mix - mixing

Gerund can be used in the following cases:

1. Gerunds can be the subject of a sentence:

Racing cars is his hobby.

2. Gerunds can be an object of a verb:

My hobby is racing cars.

283
3. Gerunds can be the object after a preposition:

I will call you before leaving.

4. Gerunds are used after the following verbs: avoid, deny, dislike, enjoy, practise, imagine, finish, keep,
go, mind, come.

They avoid talking about the project.

I don’t mind helping you.

Infinitive

An infinitive is a verb form with to and the base form of the verb.

I want to go to the movies.

I would like to buy a car.

There are some verbs that go with infinitive, such as afford, decide, deserve, want, hope, learn, mean, offer,
promise, pretend, refuse, agree, seem, plan, arrange.

He agree to play a match with me.

She hopes to get the full mark.

Note. Some verbs are followed by “to + inf.” or an “ing” form with no difference in meaning: continue,
start, begin, intend, hate , like, love. For example:

I intend to play a match next Friday.

= I intend playing a match next Friday.

She continued studying her lessons till midnight.

= She continued to study her lessons till midnight.

UNIT 9

Future Tenses
There are several ways in English that you can talk about the future. We are going to study will and pres-
ent simple.

284
Auxiliary verb will

The auxiliary verb will has three possible uses:

1. Making predictions or simple statements of fact about the future.

The sun will rise at 6.30 tomorrow.

She will be fifteen next week.

2. Meaning want to.

I hope you will be on time next time

3. Offers and promises.

I will call you later.

We use will after “hope/ expect / think, I’m sure”

I hope you will come to my party.

I think he will help us.

To ask a question with will, just move the auxiliary before the subject:

He will help you.

Will he help you?

For negative answers use will not or won’t.

I won’t/will not go to Mexico.

For short responses are:

Yes, I will

No, I won’t

Present simple

The present simple tense is usually used to refer to future events that are scheduled (and outside of our
control).

Hurry up! The train departs in 10 minutes.

School finishes in June.

285
Use do or does to make questions (does is for third person singular)

Do you study English?

Does she speak French?

Where do you study?

What does he do for a living?

To express negative statements add not. Use do not (don’t) and does not (doesn’t)

I don’t work at a bank. (I do not work at a bank)

He doesn’t like milk. (He does not like milk)

UNIT 10

Future Tenses
There are several ways in English that you can talk about the future. We are going to study be going to
and present continuous.

Be going to

We use (be) going to:

1. To talk about plans and intentions:

I’m going to walk to school today.

They are going to study French in the summer.

2. When we can see that something is likely to happen:

Look at those black clouds. I think it’s going to rain.

To form questions with be going to, interchange position between the subject and verb to be

She is going to work at the bank.

Is she going to work at the bank?

For negative answers use isn’t/is not, aren’t/are not or am not.

She isn’t going to visit them.

For short answers use:

Yes, they are.

Yes, I am.

No, he isn’t/is not

No, they aren’t/are not.

No, I am not.

Present Continuous

The present continuous tense is used in talking about arrangements. (An arrangement is a plan for the
future that you have already thought about and discussed with someone else.)

I’m meeting my mother at the airport tomorrow.

To form questions in present continuous, interchange position between the subject and verb to be

She is seeing the dentist next Friday.

Is she seeing the dentist next Friday?

For negative answers use isn’t/is not, aren’t/are not or am not.

She isn’t meeting them.

The aren’t/are not coming next Wednesday.
