GRAMMAR
Simple Present Tense indicates an action which happens in the present, but it isn’t
necessary for actions to happen right now. Simple present tense indicates, unchanging
situations, general truths, scientific facts, habits, fixed arrangements and frequently
occurring events.
The Structures of Simple Present Tense
POSITIVE FORMS (+) :
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they speak / learn English at home

he / she / it speaks / learns English at home

NEGATIVE FORMS (-) :

The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in English in the
Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

Subject don't/doesn't Verb* The Rest of the

sentence
I / you / we / they don't have / buy cereal for breakfast
he / she / it doesn't eat / like etc.
.
Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

 You don't speak Arabic.

 John doesn't speak Italian.
 We don't have time for a rest.
 It doesn't move.
 They don't want to go to the party.
 She doesn't like fish

6
QUESTION FORMS (?) :
The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does.

Do/Does Subject Verb* The Rest of the sentence

Do I / you / we / they have / need a new bike?

Does he / she / it want etc.
*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without
TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins
with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak etc.

Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

 Do you need a dictionary?

 Does Mary need a dictionary?
 Do we have a meeting now?
 Does it rain a lot in winter?
 Do they want to go to the party?
 Does he like pizza?

Short Answers with Do and Does

In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct questions as
follows:

Sample Questions Short Answer Short Answer

(Affirmative) (Negative)

Do you like chocolate? Yes, I do. No, I don't.

Do I need a pencil? Yes, you do. No, you don't.
Do you both like chocolate? Yes, we do. No, we don't.
Do they like chocolate? Yes, they do. No, they don't.
Does he like chocolate? Yes, he does. No, he doesn't.

Does she like chocolate? Yes, she does. No, she doesn't.
Does it have four wheels? Yes, it does. No, it doesn't.

7
 NOTE:
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they speak / learn English at home

he / she / it speaks / learns English at home
The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

 go – goes catch – catches wash – washes kiss – kisses fix – fixes buzz – buzzes

2. For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.

 marry – marries study – studies carry – carries worry – worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

 play – plays
 enjoy – enjoys

ATTENTION

NOTES:
We use other question words ( Like Who, What, Why , How much / many, How
often etc.) in present tense.
1)Question Words (who, what, why, how much / many, how often etc.) + do /
does + subject pronoun ( he, she, it, I, you, we, they) + V1 ( First Form of Verb )
Examples:
 How often does he call you?
 Why do you always do this?
 How much does it cost?
2)Question Words (who, what, why, etc.) + V1 / V (-s,-es,-ies) + object pronouns (
me, you, him, her,it, us, them)
Examples:
 Who gives him a scholarship?
 What makes you angry?

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Watch the video and make the following exercise

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHD0rqlj8I&t=7s

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my homework.

He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb

They are never pleased to see me.

She isn't usually bad tempered.

13
When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the
adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

She can sometimes beat me in a race.

I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
They might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.

The present progressive puts emphasis on the course or duration of an action.

The present progressive is used for actions going on in the moment of speaking and for actions
taking place only for a short period of time. It is also used to express development and actions
that are arranged for the near future.

Present progressive is also known as present continuous.

Use a form of to be and the infinite verb plus -ing.

READING
Obama family´s last vacation

On 4th November I arrived in Chicago late in the evening. I wanted to photograph Barack
Obama and his family in the Convention Center, but when I got there, I discovered that
I didn ́t have my press pass and I couldn t́ go inside. I walked around the park outside
the Center.

Although it was November, it was a warm night. The atmosphere was wonderful. When
I took this photo, everybody was looking at the TV screens waiting for the election
results. Some people were quietly holding hands and smiling – others were tense and
nervous.

They felt that it was their moment. Suddenly I realized that this was a better place to be
than inside. I was watching Barack Obama ́s victory through the faces of all these people,
African, Hispanic, Chinese, white. At about 11 o ́clock the results were announced, and
everybody went mad.

People started laughing, shouting and crying. But when Obama made his speech, they
all became quiet and emotional. There was one place to be on the planet that night –
and I was there.

GRAMMAR
What rules do you have to keep in mind?
The verb to be is an irregular verb, as can be seen in its forms in the past simple (which
can be translated by: I was / was / was / was, you were / was / were / were, etc.).

Afirmativo Negativo Interrogativo

I was I wasn’t Was I...?

You were You weren’t Were you…?

He / She / It was He / She / It wasn’t Was he / she / it…?

We were We weren’t Were we...?

You were You weren’t Were you...?

They were They weren’t Were they...?

This verb speaks of a state or a situation (for example, how you feel), and can be used
to describe things. When you use it in the past tense you need to make sure you use the
forms that we have shown you in the previous table, and not the infinitive "be".
For example:
Affirmative
The party was amazing!
-We were really happy!
He was my boyfriend.
I was your best friend.

Negative
1. I was not a good student.
2. We were not old friends.
3. He was not a student.
4. The pencil was not on the desk.
5. Was I going to see you tomorrow?

27

GRAMMAR
SIMPLE PAST OF REGULAR VERBS
The simple past is used to describe an action that occurred and was completed in the past. The simple
past is formed by adding –ed to the base form of the verb (the infinitive without to).

base
form + ed = simple past
walk walked
push pushed
greet greeted
watch watched

There are several rules:

In English, the simple past of regular verbs is extremely easy. It is the same for all persons.
Here are example sentences of the simple past with the verb WORK.
Singular Plural
1st per I worked yesterday. We worked yesterday.
2nd per You worked yesterday. You worked yesterday.
3rd per He, She, It worked yesterday. They worked yesterday.
Here are examples with regular verbs in the simple present and the simple past.
Simple present Simple past
I walk to school. I walked to school.
She works downtown. She worked downtown.
They help on Tuesday. They helped on Tuesday.

34
 NEGATIVE FORM PAST SIMPLE

WARM UP.
Do you enjoy extreme sports? Would you like to try some?
……………………………………………….. ……………………………………
READING:
Extreme Winter Sports “ ICE DIVING”

Ice diving is a sport for expert divers- and crazy ones, too!
Before you go ice diving, you put on special warm clothes and then you put on an
special diving suit called a “drysuit”. This is not the same as a normal diving suit. It
has air in it. The air keeps the diver warm, and also keeps him or her high in the
wáter. Ice divers carry oxygen on their backs, like normal divers.
A typical ice dive takes fifteen minutes. The diver climbs into a hole in the ice and
then swims under it. The other divers watch and wait. They are ready to help in an
emergency.
They can not see the diver, but they can often see his air bubbles under the ice.
So, what’s it like, under the ice? Ice divers say it is like another world-a bright world
of strange creatures, plants and rocks and amazing shapes and colors.
It is also great fun. Divers can turn over and put their feet on the ice. When their
Friends pull the rope, they move along, with their feet higher than their heads!

55
Read the text again and choose if the statement is true (T), false (F), or if there is not
information. (N I) about it.
1.- Ice diving is not a sport for most people.

2.-Ice divers wear clothes under their drysuits.

3.-They usually dive for about a quarter of an hour.

4.-It’s dark under the ice.

5.-Divers go ice diving because it’s fun.

GRAMMAR

Comparative Adjectives - are used to compare the differences between two nouns.

Examples:

The black dog is older, than the white dog.

My house is bigger than my sister's house.

The yellow hat is more expensive, than the green hat.

There are two ways to create a comparative adjective.

Adjectives with 1 syllable or adjectives with 2 syllables if the word ends in -y, then -er is
added to the end of the word.

Notes:

Adjectives ending in -y; change the -y to -i and add -er.

Adjectives that end with a consonant, vowel, consonant - the last

consonant is doubled and -er is added to the end of the adjective.

Examples

cold - colder early - earlier big - bigger

small - smaller happy – happier fat - fatter

tall - taller crazy - crazier hot - hotter

Adjectives with 3 more syllables, and words with 2 syllables that do not end in -y. The
word "more" or "less" is placed before the adjective.

Note: Adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective.

Examples

honest - more honest expensive - more expensive

difficult - more difficult difficult - more difficult

modern - more modern comfortable - more comfortable

57
Note: "Than" is usually used after the comparative adjective.
Write down the comparative form of the adjectives

GRAMMAR
OBJECT PRONOUNS

English Grammar Rules

Object pronouns are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It makes the
sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns after a verb
or a preposition.

The Object Pronoun – it

Be careful when using 'it' as an object pronoun because it is only in the correct context that it has meaning. It
needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you are referring to. Compare; You are
sitting on it! (The listener probably doesn't know what the speaker refers to).
The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It is obvious in the second sentence that the reference is to the
letter).

READING SCARY STORIES… TALES OF THE CRYPT.

Read the story and answer the questions.
(True or False)
Mary was walking home from school on
Halloween when she decided to take a shortcut
through the cemetery. She was eating an apple at
the same time as she was walking. She saw her
neighbor putting flowers on her husband’s grave. She said “hi” to her, and she was
looking very creepy.
There were spiders everywhere and she didn’t know how to escape. She was looking for
a way to avoid the spider webs when suddenly a ghost appeared. Mary didn’t recognize
him, but she walked slowly to it. She was very near to touch it, but it suddenly turned
around. “Aaaahhh!!!” screamed Mary with all her soul. She saw that it didn’t have a
face! It took a knife out of its hand and showed it to Mary.

98
She hit his arm with all her possible strength, but the monster ran to call other strange
monsters so she saw the solution. She hid in the crypt next. One skeleton saw her and
called all the monsters, who closed around the crypt. She didn’t have any solution so
she stayed there for hours.
When she thought she was alone, without ghosts, witches and so on, she went out and
immediately she found all her friends laughing. It was a joke for Mary. She was in the
videoclip of Thriller, with her favorite singer Michael Jackson! It was the best scary
surprise that they did to her on Halloween.

GRAMMAR
PAST PROGRESSIVE NEGATIVE FORM

To make an affirmative (positive) statement negative, add "not" before

the verb + -ing. You can also use a contraction (wasn't / weren't). We use
contractions frequently in spoken English.

Examples:

 I was not going to bed. /

I wasn't going to bed.
 You were not doing your homework.
 The children weren't sleeping during
the drive home.
 My boyfriend was not telling me the
truth.
 They were not playing this week.

111
 PAST CONTINOUS INTERROGATIVE FORM
Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" answers are formed by inverting the
subject and correct form of the verb "be" (was / were). (Inverting means we change the
order of the subject and verb form.

Examples:

 Was I snoring?
 Was he studying all night again?
 Was the baby crying a lot today?
 Were we talking too loud last night?
 Were we eating lots of candy?
 Were they playing nicely today or
were they fighting?

Wh – QUESTIONS PAST CONTINOUS

Examples:
 Where was he going?
 Where were they flying to?
 How were your children
getting along?
 Why were the buses
running late?
 What was your cat eating?
 What was the policeman
telling us?

112
Spelling: Verbs that end with one -e

For verbs that end with one -e, drop the -e and add -ing. Note that these verbs
the -e sound at the end is silent. (e.g., believe, bake, take, love).

achieve — achieving

hate — hating

live — living

take — taking

strike — striking

But: With verbs ending with a long -e sound, add -ing as normal:

 see — seeing

 be — being

 flee — fleeing

 agree — agreeing

Spelling: Short one-syllable verbs ending in CVC

If the verb has one syllable and ends with CVC (a consonant + vowel + consonant),
we double the final consonant before adding the -ing ending:

 sit — sitting

 get — getting

 pet — petting

 plan — planning

 run — running

Hannah met Jamie in the summer of 2004. It was Hannah’s 21st birthday and she and
her friends went to a club. They wanted to dance, but they didn’t like the music so
Hannah went to speak to the DJ. ‘This music is awful,’ she said. ‘Could you play
something else? The DJ looked at her and said ‘Don’t worry; I have the perfect song for
you.’
Two minutes later he said: ‘The next song is by Coldplay. It’s called Yellow and it’s for a
beautiful girl who is dancing over there.’ Hannah knew that the song was for her because
she was wearing a yellow dress. When Hannah and her friends left the club the DJ was
waiting at the door. ‘Hi, I’m Jamie,’ he said to Hannah. ‘Can I see you again?’ So Hannah
gave him her phone number.
