B. NGỮ PHÁP (CHÉP VÀO VỞ CHỤP ẢNH): ÔN TẬP CÁC CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN
I. CONDITIONAL SENTENCE- TYPE 2
(CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN LOẠI 2)
1. Cách sử dụng
Chỉ sự việc không thể hoặc khó có thể xảy ra ở hiện tại. Điều kiện chỉ là một giả thiết, một ước muốn trái ngược với thực trạng
hiện tại.
2. Cấu trúc:
If + S + V (ed, irregular), S + would/ could (not) + V.
Nói cách khác, ở câu điều kiện loại 2, mệnh đề IF dùng thì quá khứ đơn, mệnh đề chính dùng động từ khiếm khuyết WOULD
hoặc COULD.
Ví dụ:
If I had a million USD, I would buy that car.
(Nếu tôi có một triệu đô la, tôi sẽ mua chiếc xe đó.)
If it wasn’t noisy in here, I could hear you clearly.
(Nếu ở đây không ồn, tôi có thể nghe được bạn rất rõ.)
If I were you, I would see the doctor immediately.
(Nếu như tớ là cậu, tớ sẽ gặp bác sĩ ngay.)
Lưu ý:
+ Ở mệnh đề IF, nếu động từ là TO BE thì ta dùng WERE cho tất cả các chủ ngữ.
Ví dụ:
If I were a bird, I would be very happy.
(Nếu tôi là một con chim, tôi sẽ rất hạnh phúc.) <= tôi không thể là chim được

II. RELATIVE CLAUSE

(MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ)
1. Thế nào là mệnh đề quan hệ?
Mệnh đề quan hệ (Relative Clause) là một thành phần của câu dùng để giải thích rõ hơn về danh từ đứng trước nó. Mệnh đề
quan hệ còn được gọi là mệnh đề tính ngữ (adjective clause) vì nó là một mệnh đề phụ được dùng để bổ nghĩa cho danh từ đứng
trước nó (tiền ngữ).
Mệnh đề quan hệ được nối với mệnh đề chính bởi các đại từ quan hệ (relative pronouns)Who, Whom, Which, Whose, That
hoặc các trạng từ quan hệ (relative adverbs) When, Where, Why.
2. Các loại mệnh đề quan hệ trong tiếng anh
Mệnh đề quan hệ trong tiếng anh được phân làm 2 loại:
a. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining relative clause): Đây là loại mệnh đề cần thiết vì tiền ngữ chưa xác định, không có nó
câu sẽ không đủ nghĩa.
Ví dụ:
The man who keeps the school library is Mr Green.
(Người mà trông coi thư viện trường là ông Green)
That is the book that I like best.
(Kia là quyển sách mà tôi thích nhất.)
b. Mệnh đề không xác định (non-defining relative clause): Đây là loại mệnh đề không cần thiết vì tiền ngữ đã được xác định,
không có nó câu vẫn đủ nghĩa. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định được ngăn với mệnh đề chính bằng các dấu phẩy. Trước danh từ
thường có: this, that, these, those, my, his … hoặc tên riêng.
Ví dụ:
- That man, whom you saw yesterday, is Mr Pike.
(Người đan ông mà bạn nhìn thấy ngày hôm qua là ông Pike.)
 - This is Mr Jones, who helped me last week.
(Đây là ông Jones người đã giúp tôi tuần trước.)
- Harry told me about his new job, which he's enjoying very much.
(Harry kể với tôi về công việc mới điều mà anh ta rất quan tâm.)
Lưu ý: Không được dùng THAT trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định (non-defining relative clause).
3. Cách dùng mệnh đề quan hệ trong tiếng anh
WHO: Who là đại từ quan hệ chỉ người, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người để làm chủ ngữ (subject) hoặc tân ngữ (object) cho động từ
đứng sau nó.
Ví dụ:
- The man who is standing over there is Mr. Pike.
(Người đàn ông đứng ở đằng kia là ông Pike.)
WHOM: Whom là đại từ quan hệ chỉ người, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người để làm tân ngữ (object) cho động từ đứng sau nó.
Ví dụ:
- The woman whom /who you saw yeaaterday is my aunt.
(Người phụ nữ mà bạn gặp ngày hôm qua là dì của tôi.)
Who/ whom làm tân ngữ có thể lược bổ được trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining relative clause).
Ví dụ:
- The woman you saw yesterday is my aunt.
(Người phụ nữ bạn gặp ngày hôm qua là dì của tôi.)
WHICH: Which là đại từ quan hệ chỉ vật, đứng sau danh từ chỉ vật để làm chủ ngữ (Subject) hoặc tân ngữ(object) cho động từ
đứng sau nó.
Ví dụ:
- This is the book which I like best.
(Đây là quyển sách tôi thích nhất.)
- The hat which is red is mine.
(Chiếc mũ màu đỏ là của tôi.)
Which làm tân ngữ có thể lược bỏ trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining relative clause)..
Ví dụ:
- The dress I bought yesterday is very beuatiful.
(Chiếc vấy tôi mua ngày hôm qua trông rất đẹp.)
THAT: That là đại từ quan hệ chỉ cả người lẫn vật.
That có thể được dùng thay cho who, whom, which trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (dèining ralative clause)
Ví dụ:
- That is the book that/ which I like best.
(Kia là quyển sách tôi thích nhất.)
- The woman that/ who lived here before us is a novelist.
(Người phụ nữ sống ở đây trước đo là một nhà văn.)
That luôn được dùng sau các tiền tố hỗn hợp (gồm cả người lẫn vật), sau các đại từ eveything, something, anything, all, little,
much, more và sau dạng so sánh nhất (superlative).
Ví dụ:
- She is the nicest woman that I've ever met.
(Cô ấy là người phụ nữ xinh nhất mà tôi đã từng gặp.)
WHOSE: Whose là đại từ quan hệ chỉ sở hữu.
Trong ngữ pháp tiếng anh Whose đứng sau danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật và thay cho tính từ sở hữu trước danh từ. Whose luôn đi
kèm với một danh từ.
Ví dụ:
- The boy whose bicycle you borrowed yesterday is Tom.
(Cậu bé mà bạn mượn xe đạp ngày hôm quà là Tom.)
- John found a cat whose leg was broken.
(John tìm thấy 1 con mèo bị gãy chân.)
WHEN: When là đại từ quan hệ chỉ thời gian, đứng sau danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật và thay cho tính từ sở hữu trước danh từ chỉ
thời gian. When được dùng thay cho at/ on/ in which, then.
Ví dụ:
- That was the time when (at which) he managed the company.
(Đó là lúc cô ấy quản lý công ty.)
WHERE: Where là trạng từ quan hệ chỉ nơi chốn, đứng sau danh từ chỉ nơi chốn.Where được dùng thay cho at/ in/ to which,
there.
Ví dụ:
- Hanoi is the place where I like to come.
(Hà nội là nơi mà tôi muốn đến.)
WHY: Why là trạng từ quan hệ chỉ lý do, đứng sau the reason. Why được dùng thay cho for which.
Ví dụ:
- Please tell me the reason why you are so sad.
(Hãy nói cho tôi lý do tại sao bạn buồn.)

English Club
Teacher: Welcome to English Club. Today, I'm going to do a quick quiz to check your knowledge of the English language.
Question one: Is English the language which is spoken as a first language by most people in the world?
Duong: Of course, it is.
Teacher: Incorrect. Chinese is. Question two: Does English have the largest vocabulary?
Vy: Yes, with approximately 500,000 words and 300,000 technical terms.
Teacher: Yes, spot on! This is due to the openness of the English language. English has borrowed words from many other
languages.
Duong: Yeah, if there weren't so many words, it would be easier for us to master it!
Teacher: Ha ha… But the simplicity of form makes English easy to learn. Many English words have been simplified over the
centuries. Now, question three: Who can tell me an English word that can operate as a noun, a verb, and an adjective?
Mai: I think the word subject can operate as a noun, a verb and an adjective.
Teacher: Excellent. In English, the same word can operate as many parts of speech. That's due to its flexibility. Question four:
What is the longest word in English which has only one vowel?
Duong: Is it length?
Vy: No, I think it's strengths.
Teacher: That's right, Vy. Lastly, question five: Who can tell me at least three varieties of English?
Mai: American English, Australian English, and... er, yes, Indian English.

NGÀY)
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of a few speakers to become the dominant language of
international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of
French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only
in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries,
English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonisation, and missionary
work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities
proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two- thirds of the
world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports,
and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative
speakers, constituting the largest number of normative users than any other language in the world.

Five Ways To Improve Your Spoken English At Home (QUAY VIDEO HÀNG NGÀY)
First, you should improve your English pronunciation because good pronunciation will help people understand your spoken
English clearly, even if you don’t know many words. Second, most English learners read too much and listen to little. If you want
to improve your English speaking, spend more time listening! Listen to the audio while you read the text, then read the text out
loud, trying to imitate the pronunciation you hear in the audio.
Then, reading English texts out loud will train your mouth and lips to pronounce English words more naturally. I suggest
reading every text out loud twice. The first time, read slowly and focus on pronouncing each word correctly. Circle the words that
are difficult to pronounce and repeat each one ten times. The second time, read faster and focus on making your English flow,
speaking each sentence with a natural rhythm.
In addition, whenever you learn a new word, try saying it in a complete sentence. If you do this with every new English
word you learn, it will help you speak English in complete sentences more naturally.
Finally, if you don’t have contact with native English speakers, watch TV shows and films in English with English subtitles
to learn English conversation patterns.

French that were introduced following the Norman 5 invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken
only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two
centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and
missionary work. 10 Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two-thirds of the
world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports,

nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world.
