GRAMMAR

WILL – BE GOING TO – PRESENT PROGRESSIVE

The difference between WILL, BE GOING TO and the present continuous for

future events

WILL and BE GOING TO for future intentions

Will (future simple) is used to express future intentions that are decided at

the time of speaking (spontaneous offers, promises and decisions):

Come on, I'll help you with those bags. (seeing that someone is struggling

with their shopping bags)

Be going to is used to express future intentions that have already been

decided before the time of speaking:

I can't make it on Saturday. I'm going to help my parents around the

house. (referring to a decision that the speaker has made in the past)

WILL and BE GOING TO for predictions

Will (future simple) is used to make predictions that are based on personal

judgement, opinion or intuition:

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time in Italy. (opinion)

Be going to is used to make predictions that are based on present evidence.

The predicted event is either very near (and can be seen) or seems sure to

happen:

My sister's going to have a baby. (we can see that she is pregnant)

BE GOING TO and present continuous for future plans

Be going to refers to future intentions that have been decided but have not

been fully planned:

We're going to get married. (referring to a past decision)

The present continuous tense refers to fixed future events and emphasises that

plans or arrangements have already been made:

We are getting married next month. (the wedding has already been

arranged)

GRAMMAR

CAN/ COULD/ BE ABE TO

Can and could are modal auxiliary verbs. Be able to is NOT an auxiliary verb (it

uses the verb be as a main verb). We include be able to here for convenience.

Can is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use can to:

talk about possibility and ability

make requests

ask for or give permission

Structure of Can

subject + can + main verb

The main verb is always the bare infinitive (infinitive without "to").

subject auxiliary verb main verb

+ I can Play tennis.

- He cannot Play tennis.

can't

? Can you Play tennis?

CAN: POSSIBILITY AND ABILITY

We use can to talk about what is possible, what we are able or free to do:

She can drive a car.

John can speak Spanish.

I cannot hear you. (I can't hear you.)

Can you hear me?

Normally, we use can for the present. But it is possible to use can when we make

present decisions about future ability.

A. Can you help me with my homework? (present)

B. Sorry. I'm busy today. But I can help you tomorrow. (future)

CAN: PERMISSION

We sometimes use can to ask or give permission for something:

A. Can I smoke in this room?

B. You can't smoke here, but you can smoke in the garden.

Could is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use could to:

talk about past possibility or ability

make requests

Structure of Could

The main verb is always the bare infinitive (infinitive without "to").

subject auxiliary verb main verb

+ My grandmother could swim.

- She could not walk.

? Could your grandmother swim?

COULD: PAST POSSIBILITY OR ABILITY

We use could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were able or

free to do:

I could swim when I was 5 years old.

My grandmother could speak seven languages.

When we arrived home, we could not open the door. (...couldn't open the

door.)

Could you understand what he was saying?

COULD: REQUESTS

We often use could in a question to ask somebody to do something. The use of

could in this way is fairly polite (formal):

Could you tell me where the bank is, please?

Could you send me a catalogue, please?

Be able to

Although we look at be able to here, it is not a modal verb. It is simply the verb be

plus an adjective (able) followed by the infinitive. We look at be able to here

because we sometimes use it instead of can and could.

We use be able to:

to talk about ability

Structure of Be able to

The structure of be able to is:

subject + be + able + infinitive

subject be

main verb

able

adjective

infinitive

+ I am able to drive.

? Are you able to drive?

Notice that be able to is possible in all tenses, for example:

BE ABLE TO: ABILITY

I have been able to swim since I was five. (present perfect)

You will be able to speak perfect English very soon. (future simple)

I would like to be able to fly an airplane. (infinitive)

GRAMMAR

MAY/ MIGHT

May

We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used

very often in modern spoken English

May I borrow your pen?

May we think about it?

May I go now?

We use 'may' to suggest something is possible

It may rain later today.

I may not have time to do it today.

Pete may come with us

might

We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that

'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and

'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English.

She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all.

It might rain this afternoon.

I might not have time to go to the shops for you.

I might not go.

For the past, we use 'might have'.

He might have tried to call while I was out.

I might have dropped it in the street.

GRAMMAR

THE PASSIVE

Passive - Use

We only use the passive when we are interested in the object or when we do not

know who caused the action.

Example: Appointments are required in such cases.

We can only form a passive sentence from an active sentence when there is an

object in the active sentence.

Form

to be + past participle

How to form a passive sentence when an active sentence is given:

- object of the "active" sentence becomes subject in the "passive" sentence

- subject of the "active" sentence becomes "object" in the "passive" sentence" (or is

left out)

Active: Peter builds a house.

Passive: A house is built by Peter.

Examples

Active Peter Builds a house. Simple Present

Passive: A house is built by Peter.

Active: Peter Built a house.

Simple Past

Passive: A house was built by Peter.

Active: Peter has built a house. Present Perfect

Passive: A house has been built by Peter.

Active: Peter will build a house. will-future

Passive: A house will be built by Peter.

GRAMMAR

INTRODUCTORY VERBS

REPORTING VERBS WITH THAT CLAUSES:

Some verbs introduce a report, an idea or a summary. These verbs have the pattern:

N + V + (that) + clause

When we want to say what someone says or thinks we can use a clause with that;

He said that I had to see a doctor. I thought that he was being silly.

We can leave out the word that:

He said I had to see a doctor. I thought he was being silly.

With some verbs we can mention the hearer as the object of the verb:

She reminded him that it was time to go. He told me he was a friend of yours.

These verbs have the pattern;

N + V + N + (that) + clause.

REPORTING VERBS WITH WH- AND IF CLAUSES

Some verbs introduce summaries, reports, questions or problems:

She explained what we had to do. He asked if I was ready I didn’t know what to do.

These verbs have the pattern:

N + V + wh- + clause: She wondered where she was.

or

N + V + if + clause: Ken asked if we wanted to go.

With some verbs we can mention the hearer as the object of the verb:

She asked me if I was ready. He told me what I had to do.

These verbs have the pattern:

N + V + N + wh- + clause: I told them what he was doing.

or

N + V + N + if + clause: Ken asked us if we wanted to go.

GRAMMAR

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Relative clauses are clauses starting with the relative pronouns who*, that, which,

whose, where, when. They are most often used to define or identify the noun that

precedes them. Here are some examples:

Do you know the girl who started in grade 7 last week?

Can I have the pencil that I gave you this morning?

A notebook is a computer which can be carried around.

I won't eat in a restaurant whose cooks smoke.

I want to live in a place where there is lots to do.

Yesterday was a day when everything went wrong!

* There is a relative pronoun whom, which can be used as the object of the relative

clause. For example: My science teacher is a person whom I like very much. To

many people the word whom now sounds old-fashioned, and it is rarely used in

spoken English.

Relative pronouns are associated as follows with their preceding noun:

Preceding noun Relative pronoun Examples

a person who(m)/that, whose - Do you know the girl who ..

- He was a man that ..

- An orphan is a child whose

parents.

a thing which†/that, whose - Do you have a computer

which.

- The oak a tree that ..

- This is a book whose author

..

NOTE 1: The relative pronoun whose is used in place of the possessive pronoun.

It must be followed by a noun. Example: There's a boy in grade 8 whose father is a

professional tennis player. (There's a boy in grade 8. His father is a professional

tennis player.)

NOTE 2: The relative pronouns where and when are used with place and time

nouns. Examples: FIS is a school where children from more than 50 countries are

educated. 2001 was the year when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers in New

York.

Some relative clauses are not used to define or identify the preceding noun but to

give extra information about it. Here are some examples:

My ESL teacher, who came to Germany in 1986, likes to ride his mountain

bike.

The heavy rain, which was unusual for the time of year, destroyed most of

the plants in my garden.

Einstein, who was born in Germany, is famous for his theory of relativity.

The boy, whose parents both work as teachers at the school, started a fire

in the classroom.

My mother's company, which makes mobile phones, is moving soon from

Frankfurt to London.

In the summer I'm going to visit Italy, where my brother lives.

NOTE 1: Relative clauses which give extra information, as in the example

sentences above, must be separated off by commas.

NOTE 2: The relative pronoun that cannot be used to introduce an extra-

information (non-defining) clause about a person. Wrong: Neil Armstrong, that was

born in 1930, was the first man to stand on the moon. Correct: Neil Armstrong,

who was born in 1930, was the first man to stand on the moon.

There are two common occasions, particularly in spoken English, when the relative

pronoun is omitted:

1. When the pronoun is the object of the relative clause. In the following sentences

the pronoun that can be left out is enclosed in (brackets):

Do you know the girl (who/m) he's talking to?

Where's the pencil (which) I gave you yesterday?

I haven't read any of the books (that) I got for Christmas.

I didn't like that girl (that) you brought to the party.

Did you find the money (which) you lost?

NOTE: You cannot omit the relative pronoun a.) if it starts a non-defining relative

clause, or, b.) if it is the subject of a defining relative clause. For example, who is

necessary in the following sentence: What's the name of the girl who won the

tennis tournament?

2. When the relative clause contains a present or past participle and the auxiliary

verb to be. In such cases both relative pronoun and auxiliary can be left out:

Who's that man (who is) standing by the gate?

The family (that is) living in the next house comes from Slovenia.

She was wearing a dress (which was) covered in blue flowers.

Most of the parents (who were) invited to the conference did not come.

Anyone (that is) caught writing on the walls will be expelled from school.

GRAMMAR

CLAUSES OF CONCESSION, TIME, CONDITION & PURPOSE

Concessive clauses are also called contrast clauses. They usually denote some

obstacle which does not prevent the realization of the action expressed in the main

clause.

ALTHOUGH, THOUGH AND EVEN THOUGH

Although, though and even though are subordinators used in contrast clauses.

They are also called subordinating conjunctions. They all introduce an idea which

contrasts with the main clause. FOR EXAMPLE:

Although Tanya was half asleep, she remembered to set the house alarm.

Though Tanya was half asleep, she remembered to set the house alarm.

Even though Tanya was half asleep, she remembered to set the house

alarm.

WHILE AND WHEREAS

We can use while or whereas, which are subordinating conjunctions, to say that

something in the subordinate clause contrasts with something in the main clause.

The two subordinators are interchangeable and show major contrast. For example:

I am quiet and shy (main clause), while my sister is lively and talkative.

I am quiet and shy (main clause), whereas my sister is lively and talkative.

IN SPITE OF AND DESPITE

We can use the prepositions in spite of and despite to talk about contrast. After

them you always have to use a noun, a pronoun, or an ing form of a verb (gerund).

FOR EXAMPLE:

In spite of the rain(noun), we started to play basketball.

Despite the rain (noun), we started to play basketball.

In spite of having (gerund) a migraine headache, I decided to go out on a

date.

Despite having (gerund) a migraine headache, I decided to go out on a date.

TEACHER: Licd. Fuertes

INTRODUCTION

Importantly, we go through different stages and especially this adolescence the

most difficult and causes more problems than it is in this that the teen encounters

many new things I want to experience, risk is part of the fun in your life, there is

concern and act without realizing it, that's why I fall into problems which eventually

repent, as these leave traces of pain in his life, and happiness is withered, it is

period of short duration means a lot for everyone and it is this in which people

reach different developments, it is in this that the teen is in the "flower of youth"

because it goes through many things good and bad.

The family is a fundamental part in the development of adolescents, and that if

parents do not attach due importance to the problems facing their children, make

these more vulnerable to fall into errors.

PREGNANCY

One of the main problems which are faced by a teenage pregnancy, a silent and

current student affects physical, psychological and morally, as a result of having

unprotected sex, peaking leads to school, and not able to form as people and

professionals.

DROGS

Other problem that adolescents, both upper, middle and low is the use and

consumption of drugs, such as alcohol, smoking and a stronger and more harmful

as marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, leading to the destruction of the family, the

violence and depend on a substance to live, so that the family should consider

much the values and provide our families attention

BULIMIA

Also another problem is the bulimia, it affects more women than men, this disease

causes the person to eat far more than they should, and then the fear of gaining

weight and feeling guilty for what he has done, remove all swallowed and resort to

vomiting, fasting and using medications such as laxatives in a wrong way

CONCLUSION

My conclusion is that teenagers be in stage of growth and development need

support and guidance, especially in your family, you have to strengthen the

communication, love and respect in the family to prevent teens suffer one of these

problems.

WRITE DOWN AN ESSAY ABOUT THE MAIN PROBLEMS IN YOUR CITY

INTRODUCTION

Vehicular traffic or car (also called traffic, or just traffic) is the phenomenon caused

by the flow of vehicles on a road, street or highway. It also comes with many

similarities to other phenomena such as particle flow (liquids, gases or solids) and

pedestrians.

ESSAY THE TRAFFIC

Today, by globalization and development of each country, we present the growth of

population and even more traffic, my city is small but has a lot of traffic, pollution

and stress in the population.

Would be nice if people were not so sedentary and walk to work or school in order

to wound earlier, otherwise getting faster and avoid vehicular traffic. Face from

morning to vehicular traffic, makes people sick from stress, so be patient and avoid

peeking out.

To summarize vehicular traffic should do more physical activity, try to leave earlier

and avoid stress out if you're in this, best to avoid complications with others and

with our health.

the earth. Being completed with water and fresh air, and many animals die every

day.

To begin with is very important and we do recycling campaigns. As a result we will

educate people and leave a better planet for our children.

Another solution is to give talks and participate in environmental aid programs and

fliers. Consequently we can reduce pollution and create awareness among people

not to destroy our home which is the earth.

To sum up, pollution is a problem in many cities, which must be solved with the

help and cooperation of all people as an obligation and a gift for those who want.

The Disappearing Rainforests

Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface; now they cover a mere

6% and experts estimate that the last remaining rainforests could be consumed in

less than 40 years.

One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic

consequences for both developing and industrial countries.

Nearly half of the world's species of plants, animals and microorganisms will be

destroyed or severely threatened over the next quarter century due to rainforest

deforestation.

Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.

When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the

tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about

medicinal plants.

The Wealth of the Rainforests

The Amazon Rainforest covers over a billion acres, encompassing areas in Brazil,

Venezuela, Colombia and the Eastern Andean region of Ecuador and Peru. If

Amazonia were a country, it would be the ninth largest in the world.

The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because

it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recycling

carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced

in the Amazon Rainforest.

More than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and

insects live in the tropical rainforests. One-fifth of the world's fresh water is in the

Amazon Basin.

At least 3000 fruits are found in the rainforests; of these only 200 are now in use in

the Western World. The Indians of the rainforest use over 2,000.

The U.S. National Cancer Institute has identified 3000 plants that are active

against cancer cells. 70% of these plants are found in the rainforest. Twenty-five

percent of the active ingredients in today's cancer-fighting drugs come from

organisms found only in the rainforest.

Rainforest Action

He rainforests intact and harvesting it's many nuts, fruits, oil-producing plants, and

medicinal plants.

The rainforest has more economic. A cattle operation yields the land owner $60

per acre. And if timber is harvested, the land is worth $400 per acre. The land will

yield the land owner $2,400 per acre. Promoting the use of these sustainable and

renewable sources could stop the destruction of the rainforests

CONCLUSIONS

Apply the grammar is very important to avoid errors conjugation.

The formation of sentences and paragraphs is simple, provided we

remember connectors, and the time is this telling.
