But you have to start to be great.” – Zig Ziglar
TÓM TẮT NGỮ PHÁP VÀO 10
I. PRONUNCIATION (2 câu) : * Một số liên từ nối thường gặp:

* s/es : • SVO + so + SVO. → vì vậy, do đó
• / iz / → s, ss, ch, sh, x, z, ge, ce = SVO ; therefore , SVO.
• / s / → t, k, p, f, th = SVO. Therefore, SVO.
• / z / → ngoài 2 trường hợp trên • SVO ; however, SVO. → tuy nhiên
* ed : = SVO. However, SVO.
• / id / → t, d • SVO but SVO. → nhưng (nối 2 vế đối lập nhau)
• / t / → ce, ch, (gh), x, ss, k, p, f, sh • Although / Even though/ Though + SVO → mặc
• / d / → ngoài 2 trường hợp trên dù = Despite / In spite of + V-ing/ Noun Phrase
* Một số TH đặc biệt đuôi / id / : • Because/ Since / As + SVO → bởi vì = Because
learned (a), beloved, hatred, naked, sacred, wicked, of / Due to / Owing to + V-ing/ Noun Phrase
blessed, dogged, ragged, rugged, crooked,...
3. Mệnh Đề Quan Hệ:
II. STRESS (2 câu) : Cách làm bài:
* Danh, Tính 2 âm → nhấn 1 Ta xem danh từ đứng trước ô trống là người, vật,
* Động 2 âm → nhấn 2 thời gian hay nơi chốn để loại bớt đáp án sai đi. Sau
(nếu kết thúc bằng đuôi ngắn”er, el, en...” thì nhấn đó áp dụng các công thức sau:
1) N người + who/that + V
* Từ 3 âm tiết → đa phần nhấn 1 nhưng : N người + whom/that + S + V
• “de,des,re,res,ex,im,in,pre”đọc là /i/ → nhấn N vật + which/that + V / S + V
sau nó “de,des,re,res,ex,pre”đọc là /e/ → nhấn N người/ vật + whose + Noun (trơ trọi)
trên nó N nơi chốn + where (= in/on/at/from which) + S +
• Đuôi “ic,ical,ial,ian,ion,ible,itive,ative,ctive,ular, V
ulous, eous,ious,ctive”→ nhấn trước nó N thời gian + when (= in/on/at which) + S + V
• Đuôi “ate,y,ize/ise” → nhấn cách nó 1 âm Chú ý:
• Đuôi “ée,éer,ése,étte,ésque,éntal,óo,oón,áde,áin” - N người & vật + that + V / S + V
→ nhấn trên nó - at/in/from/to... + whom / which + S + V
- that KHÔNG bao giờ đứng sau dấu phẩy & sau
III. MULTIPLE CHOICES : giới từ nên thấy câu có dấu phẩy hay có giới từ phía
Cách làm bài: Đọc lướt sơ 4 đáp án ABCD để xác trước ô trống thì ta loại ngay đáp án có that đi.
định xem câu đề đang kiểm tra kiến thức gì? (Từ
vựng, từ gia đình, giới từ, liên từ nối, mệnh đề quan 4. Thì:

Rồi loại bớt các đáp án sai đi, vận dụng kiến thức
1. Từ vựng & Giới từ: chọn ra đáp án đúng. Lưu ý có thể câu kiểm tra luôn
Xem lại các Từ vựng (từ đơn, từ gia đình, cụm động cả kiến thức bị động của Thì.
từ...) & Giới từ then chốt ở phần Tổng ôn trọng tâm • often/always/usually/sometimes/never/every...
kiến thức. → Thì Hiện tại đơn [Vs/es/1 ; don’t/doesn’t V1]
→ Bị động: am/is/are + V3/ed
2. Liên từ nối: • now/at the moment/at present/ Look!/ Listen! ...
Cách làm bài: → Thì HT tiếp diễn [am/is/are (not) + V-ing]
+ Dịch nghĩa của câu để chọn liên từ nối phù hợp. → Bị động: am/is/are + being + V3/ed

+ Dựa vào dấu câu ; vị trí ; chức năng ngữ pháp của
Liên từ nối để loại trừ bớt phương án sai đi.
6. Giao tiếp xã hội:
1. Cám ơn (Thank you for...)

CÁCH LÀM WORD FORM
TRẠNG – ĐỘNG – TRẠNG – TÍNH – DANH
16. Hỏi ý kiến (What do you think about/of...?)
→ In my opinion,... / I think .... 1. ĐỘNG TỪ : Khi câu cần điền Động từ thì ta phải
chú ý chia thì và ngôi cho đúng (thường chỉ có
IV. GAP-FILLING chia thì HTĐ hoặc QKĐ thôi)
Cách làm bài: • Động đứng trước hoặc sau Trạng.
Để làm tốt phần này, các em hãy vận dụng các kiến • Động đứng ngay sau Chủ ngữ : S + V + O.
thức như : Từ vựng, Từ loại, Ngữ pháp, Cấu trúc • S + have/has + V3/ed + O. → thì HTHT
câu, Giới từ, Liên từ nối ... mà mình đã được học • S + to be + V-ing + O. → thì tiếp diễn
rồi vận dụng để làm. • S + spend/waste + time + V-ing.
2. TRẠNG TỪ :
• Trạng đứng trước hoặc sau Động từ thường.
V. WORD FORM • Đứng trước Tính : S + V + ADV + ADJ.
Cách làm bài: • Trước 1 mệnh đề : ADV , S + V + O.
Nhìn trước nhìn sau ô trống để xác định xem ô trống • Giữa to be và V3/ed : to be + ADV + V3/ed.
cần điền từ loại gì (Động-Trạng-Tính-Danh). • Sau tân ngữ : S + V + O + ADV.
• Đứng sau : V thường + too/so/very/more/as +
Chú ý: ADV
- Khi ô trống cần điền Động từ thì phải chú ý chia
Thì và ngôi cho phù hợp. (thường là thì HTĐ / 3. TÍNH TỪ :
QKĐ) • Tính đứng trước Danh : S + V + a/an/the + ADJ +
- Khi ô trống cần điền Tính từ/Trạng từ, ta nên N.
dịch câu ra tiếng việt để xem ô trống có cần điền • Đứng sau Trạng : S + V + ADV + ADJ.
Tính từ / Trạng từ trái nghĩa hay không. • Đứng sau : to be, look, feel, seem, become, taste,
- Khi ô trống cần điền Danh từ thì ta phải cẩn thận smell, sound, turn,...
xem lấy số ít hay số nhiều (đối với danh từ đếm • Đứng sau : to be + too/so/very/more/as + ADJ
được). • Đứng sau : S + make/keep/find/leave + O + ADJ
4. DANH TỪ : Khi câu cần điền Danh từ, ta phải
chú ý ô trống cần danh từ số ít hay số nhiều nhé!
• Danh đứng sau Tính : S + V + ADJ + N.
• Đứng sau : a/an/the/this/that/these/those
• Đứng sau Tính từ sở hữu (my, our, their, her,
his...)
• Đứng sau Giới từ (in, on, of, at, with, without,
by...)
• Đứng sau từ chỉ số lượng :
some/many/a lot of/a few + N số nhiều
much/a lot of/a little + N không đếm được
• Đứng sau 1 số ĐT thường : buy, bring, give, have,
want, need, remain, find, take ...
4
• Danh từ có thể đứng trước hoặc sau 1 danh từ khác
để tạo thành Danh từ ghép. (Ex: application form,
population growth rate, swimming pool, washing
machine, Independence Day ...)
VI. TRANSFORMATIONS : B. Câu điều kiện IF :

Cách làm bài: • IF loại 1 (Tương lai) : thường viết lại y chang
B1: Đọc và dịch lướt câu đề ra tiếng việt. Rồi xem Đề: V1 / S + Vs/es/1... and + S + will V1...
từ gợi ý ở đầu câu cho gì. → If + S + Vs/es/1... , S + will V1...
B2: Vận dụng kiến thức xác định xem câu yêu cầu • IF loại 2 (Hiện tại) : làm ngược lại đề bài (+) ↔
viết lại với cấu trúc câu nào. Rồi áp dụng công thức (-)
để làm. Ta lấy câu sau because/as/since làm với mệnh đề If
Ta lấy câu trước and/so/therefore làm với mệnh đề
Các công thức Viết Lại Câu thường rơi vào các If Rồi áp dụng công thức:
cấu trúc như : If + S +V2/ed /didn’t V1/ were.., S + would/could
A. Công thức biến đổi giữa thì QKĐ và HTHT : (n’t) + V1
• Đề: V... or + S + will V1...
1*. 4 câu đồng nghĩa : → If + S + don’t/doesn’t + V1 , S + will V1...
• The last time + S + V2/ed...+ was + ktg + ago. • Đề: Don’t V... or + S + will V1...
(in/when) → If + S + Vs/es/1 , S + will V1...
• S + haven’t / hasn’t + V3/ed + since/for + time. • Unless + S + Vs/es/1 = If + S + don’t/doesn’t +
• S + last + V2/ed + ktg + ago. (in + năm / when + V1
mđề)
• It is/has been + time + since + S + (last) + V2/ed. C. Câu Ao Ước “WISH” :
Làm ngược lại với đề bài (+) ↔ (-)
2*. Đây là lần đầu tiên làm gì : • (1) TL : S + wish(es) + S + would/could (n’t) +
Đề: S + have/has + not/never + V3/ed + before. V1...
→ This/It is the first time + S + have/has + V3/ed. • (2) HT : S + wish(es) + S + V2/ed/ didn’t V1 /
were ...
3*. S + started/began + to V/Ving + ktg + ago. * Chú ý: Trong câu có can’t/ be not able to → could
(in/when...) Bỏ “I’m sorry, what’s a pity!” nếu có trong câu.
= S + have/has + V3/ed + for + ktg. (since +
mtg/mđề) D. Mệnh Đề Quan Hệ :
[ * Chú ý coi chừng đề nó bắt đổi sang thể bị động • Câu đơn giản:
HTHT ] Tìm 2 cái giống nhau, sau đó thế bằng 1 đại từ quan
hệ, ghi hết câu 2, xong ghi hết câu 1. Nhớ xét Dấu
4. When + did + S + start/begin + to V/V-ing...? phẩy.
= How long + have/has + S + V3/ed...? • who -> S người ; whom -> tân ngữ người
= How long ago + did + S + start/begin + to V/V- • which -> vật
ing...? • where -> nơi chốn (here/there/giới từ + nchốn)
= How long is it since + S + V2/ed...? • when -> thời gian (then/ giới từ + time)
• that -> vừa người vừa vật; all/ none/ no/ any/
5. When + was the last time + S + V2/ed...? every/ some..., SS nhất, Số thứ tự (the first, the last,
= When + did + S + last + V1...? the next, the only, the fifth. )
Chú ý: that có thể thay thế cho who/whom/which.
5
that không đứng sau giới từ và dấu phẩy.
• Trường hợp có dấu phẩy:
Trước ĐTQH có:
- tên riêng ; this/that/these/those/ tính từ sở hữu
- danh từ chỉ có 1 trên đời (the sun/moon/universe)
• Câu phức tạp **: - which thay cho cả mệnh đề
... who/which/that + be + Adj/Noun. H. Thể nhờ bảo :
Ex: The careful mechanic serviced our car last Chủ động:
week. • S + have/has/had + sb + V1.
→ The mechanic who/that serviced our car last • S + get/got + sb + to-V.
week was careful. Bị động: S + have/get + O vật + V3/ed (+ by O)
... who/which/that + have/has/had + Noun. I. Lời Nói Gián Tiếp :
Ex: They are building a two-thousand-seat movie • Câu Phát biểu : S + said (to O) / told … + S + V...
theatre. → The movie theatre which/that they are • Câu Mệnh lệnh : S + told/asked + O + (not) to V...
buidling has two thousand seats. • Câu hỏi: S + asked + O + if + S + V...
E. Câu Bị Động : be + V3/ed + nơi chốn + (by O) Wh-q + S + V...
+ thời gian * Chú ý: Khi ĐT trích dẫn ở thì quá khứ thì ta nhớ :
• HTĐ : am/is/are + V3/ed đổi Thì, đổi Ngôi, và đổi Chi tiết.
• QKĐ : was/were + V3/ed - Thì : Vs/s/1 → V2/ed → had V3/ed
• HTHT : have/has + been + V3/ed - Ngôi : đổi Người nói (I) và người nghe (You)
• MDV : MDV + be + V3/ed (can/ could/ will/ must/ - Chi tiết: this->that ; these->those ; here->there ;
should/ have to/ has to/ be going to) now->then ; ago->before ; today->that day ; tonight-
• Tiếp diễn : am/is/are/was/were + being + V3/ed >that night ; tomorrow->the next day ; next...-> the
F. Mệnh Đề Nguyên Nhân / Nhượng Bộ : next/following... ; last...-> the previous ... ; last
• Because/Since/As + SV, SV. (Bởi vì) night-> the night before.
= Because of/Due to/Owing to + V-ing/ N.Phrase , * Cấu trúc đặc biệt trong Lời nói Gián Tiếp:
SV. • advised sb (not) to V. (Khuyên ai làm gì/ không
• Although/Though/Even though + SV, SV. (Mặc nên làm gì)
dù) • thanked (sb) for V-ing / Noun. (Cám ơn ai)
= Despite/ In spite of + V-ing/ N.Phrase , SV. • congratulated sb on V-ing/Noun. (Chúc mừng ai)
• Because of/Despite/In spite of + the fact that + SV, • offered sb Noun/to V. (Mời ai cái gì/đề nghị giúp
SV. ai)
* Chú ý: • invited sb to V. (Mời ai làm gì)
- 2 chủ ngữ giống nhau mới được dùng V-ing. • warned sb not to V. (Cảnh báo ai không được làm
- 2 chủ ngữ khác nhau thì chỉ dùng được Noun gì)
Phrase. J. So Sánh Không Bằng  So Sánh Hơn :
Noun Phrase : a/an/the + ADJ + Noun. (the heavy Đề: S + not V + as + Adj/Adv + as + S’.
rain) → S’ + V + short Adj/Adv –er + than + S.
• __________, but _________ → S’ + V + more + long Adj/Adv + than + S.
→ Although + chép lại câu trước but, câu sau giữ Đề: This + be + SSnhất của Adj + N + S +
nguyên. have/has ever + V3.
• __________, so/therefore/that’s why _______ → S + have/has never + V3 + a/an + SShơn của Adj
→ Because + chép lại câu trước so.., câu sau giữ + N + than + this/that one.
nguyên. Ex: This is the most beautiful girl I have ever met.
G. Câu đề nghị “Suggest” : → I have never met a more beautiful girl than this
6
Chủ động: one.
• Người nói cùng tham gia : K. So Sánh Nhất :
→ S + suggest + V-ing... Đề: S + V + the (most) Adj-est/ Adv-est + (N) +
• Người nói không tham gia: in...
→ S + suggest (that) + S + (should)(n’t) + V1. → Nobody/ No one (else) in...+ Vít + as/so +
Bị động: S + suggest (that) + S + should(n’t) + be + Adj/Adv + as...
V3 + (by O) → No other + Nít + in...+ Vít + as/so + Adj/Adv +
as...
L. Chủ từ giả “It” :
Đề: V-ing/ To-V... + be + Adj/ N.Phrase P*. Một số công thức tương đương :
= It + is/was + Adj/ N.Phrase + to-V... • interesting ↔ be interested in + Ving/N.
= S + find/found + it + Adj + to-V... • boring ↔ be bored with + Ving/N.
• be excited about + Ving/N = look forward to +
M. Biến Đổi câu có ADV  ADJ : Ving/N = be keen on + Ving/N
Đề: S + V + (very) + ADV. • be proud of = take pride in = pride oneself on
→ S + be + (a/an) + (very) + ADJ + Noun. (Noun • be impossible to V = can’t/couldn’t + V1 = be
thường lấy từ V + er) (un)able to V
Ex: He participated actively in this game. • be going to V = intend to V = plan to V
→ He was an active participant in this game. • like = enjoy = love + V-ing = be interested in = be
fond of + V-ing
N. Công Thức Biến Đổi “too...to ; enough...to” : • to interest ↔ take an interest in ...
• Từ too...to → enough...to : • to visit = pay a visit to ...
Ta đổi thành câu phủ định, rồi lấy Adj/Adv trái • to perform = give a performance
nghĩa. • to impress = make an impression on...
Đề: S + V + too + Adj/Adv + (for sb) + to V. • look after... ↔ take care of...
→ S + not V + Adj/Adv ≠ + enough + (for sb) + to • do sth easily ↔ have/had no difficulty + V-ing...
V. • prefer + Ving + to + Ving (thích làm gì hơn làm
gì)
• Từ enough...to → too...to : = like + Ving + (more/better) than + Ving
Ta đổi thành câu khẳng định, chia lại ĐT cho đúng = would rather + V1 + than + V1
thì, rồi lấy Adj/Adv trái nghĩa. • manage + to V = succeed in + V-ing
Đề: S + not V + Adj/Adv + enough + (for sb) + to
V.
→ S + V + too + Adj/Adv ≠ + (for sb) + to V.
• Từ too...to → so...that :
Đề: S + V + too + Adj/Adv + (for sb) + to V.
→ S + V + so + Adj/Adv + that + S + can’t/couldn’t
+ V1 + O.
O. Công thức “so...that” ; “such...that” :

• S + V + so + Adj/Adv + that + SVO.
• S + V + such + (a/an) + Adj + Noun + that + SVO.
= S + V + so + Adj + (a/an) + Noun + that + SVO.
