Stative verbs

■;

Itese are verbs that describe a state (e.g. think) and not an action (e.g. run). We don't normally use them in the [ca rcr Rjous form. Example *erbs often describe: - p e ngs, e.g. dislike, hate, like, love, trust - m m rc believing, e.g. agree, believe, find (= think, feel), guess, 1* ’: a realise, remember, suppose, think, understand - 3-ts e.g. hope, need, prefer, want, wish ■: e.g. feel, hear, see, smell, taste a e rc v 2\ring, e.g. appear, belong to, have, look (= seem), own, seem Jh : -

/love going to parties! 1believe that she is telling the truth. These days 1prefer football to basketball. Your coat feels very wet! He looks a bit unhappy to me.

: ve uses of stative verbs

■ r Z3m use- some stative verbs in the continuous form, but the ■ iJW :fe ~ave,look

1think she is pretty, (have an opinion) I'm thinking about the party tonight, (consider) Can you see that man? (observe, look at) I'm seeing Jane tonight, (visit) Do you have any money? (own, possess) I'm having a shower at the moment, (do, experience) It looks like it's raining, (seem, appear) What are you looking at? (see, direct your eyes at)

5c2c #~ y'erbs with can

1 -f mmszt

use can before stative verbs used for senses, e.g. feel, see, smell, taste.

Can you feel the wind on your face? 1can't hear the music. 1can see the book on that shelf. 1can smell something burning. Can you taste chilli in this soup?

We often use time phrases like at that moment, then, suddenly, and when with the past simple, as well as more specific time phrases like yesterday, last night/week/ month, etc., two days/weeks, etc. ago, and dates like in 2008, in 1996, etc.

At eight o'clock yesterday, I was eating dinner. The sun was shining and the birds were singing when Julie went for a walk. I was watching TV when suddenly someone knocked on the door. She was talking on her mobile phone while she was driving.

\:tes: The past continuous is not usually used with stative verbs, e.g., X was need-h^beip: ✓ Sne needed help. ~~e phrases usually used with the past continuous are rfw/e, as, when, meanwhile, at that time and all morningl ~ernoon/day, etc.

It started to rain as she was walking to work. While I was painting the bedroom, my sister was hanging out with her friends. I was looking after my brother ail afternoon.

Votes: As and while usually come before the past continuous, and when usually comes before the past simple, e.g., I was working when Lili called. While I was working; Lili called. tVe can use both the past simple and past continuous in the same sentence to show that one event was in progress when another event happened. We usually use as, when and while to connect the two actions.

Conditionals Conditionals are formed by two clauses; an /^clause and a main clause. Zero conditional Form

Use

Example

If + present simple // present simple

• to talk about general truths

If it rains, the ground gets wet. if water heats up, it turns to steam.

If + present simple // imperative

• to give directions or tell someone what to do

if your tent door is open, close it. if you need some help, ask!

Form

Use

Example

If + present simple // will/can/may/ might/could

• to talk about possible future situations

if 1listen to the radio long enough, 1might hear my favourite song. If 1run out ofpizza, 1will buy some more.

Form

Use

Example

If + past simple // would/could/might

• to talk about imaginary or unlikely present or future situations

ifl made a lot of money 1could buy an aeroplane. Ifl got to the final in the competition, 1would celebrate with my friends.

• to give advice

Ifl were you; 1would do your homework.

1First conditional

1Second conditional

Use of the if-clause in conditionals

Example

We can often use the if-clause after the main clause. When we use the if-clause second, we don't use a comma.

1will ring Sarah back if 1get cut off. if 1get cut off, 1will ring Sarah back.

Use of unless in conditionals

Example

We often use unless at the start of conditionals to mean if not. Unless is also often used with negative forms in the second clause.

Unless 1have to help Matt with his bike; 1will go to the party. If I don't have to help Matt with his bike, 1will go to the party. Unless 1go shopping, 1won't have anything for dinner. Ifl don't go shopping, 1won't have anything for dinner.

A d v e n t u r e r s u n i t e for a w ild w e e k e n d o u td o o rs ! People from all ages and backgrounds are coming together for an unforgettable action-packed adventure weekend in South West England. The camping and outdoor sports event was organised to promote outdoor activities. ‘If more people knew about the wide range of outdoor sports and activities, we 1_____ arrange many more events like this one to bring people together,’ commented organiser Simon Byrne. Statistics show that being outdoors is good for your health, and doctors claim that if people spent more time outside, they2_____ be more relaxed and have a more positive attitude in their daily lives. ‘Last year we had 200 people. If more that 300 people attend this year, w e3_____ win a prize for the biggest outdoor event in the UK,’ Natalie Henderson, a camp leader, claims. ‘If we 4_____ show that being away from the TV and computer games can improve health and happiness, we 5 work on making the UK a healthier country.’ The organisers are very optimistic about the event, which will include kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing and camping over the two-day adventure weekend. We wish them good luck, and if the weather continues to be warm, it 6 be an enj oyable weekend for all! 1 A will

fast big wise easy happy beautiful amazing

faster than bigger than wiser than easier than happier than more beautiful than more amazing than

the fastest the biggest the wisest the easiest the happiest the most beautiful the most amazing

Use

Example

We use the comparative form to compare two or more people or things to show that one is of a higher degree than the other.

My sister is stronger than me. = she can lift 30 kilos; 1can only lift 20 Cinderella was more beautiful than her sisters. = Cinderella was beautiful; her sisters were not.

We use the superlative form to compare one person or thing with two or more people or things to show that it is of the highest degree compared to the others.

He's the fastest runner in the school. = no one can beat him in a race That's the most expensive shop in town. = there is no other shop where the prices are so high


Notes: I The comparatives and superlatives of two-syllable words ending in -y are formed by adding -ier and -iest. : However, some two-syllable adjectives (e.g., easy, clever, stupid, friendly, narrow, simple, common, polite, etc.) can take either -(i)er/-(i)est or more/most (e.g., cleverer/cleverest, more clever/most clever, etc.). 5 "he comparatives and superlatives of adjectives ending in -ing, -ed, -ful, and -less are formed with more and most. - Adjectives of three or more syllables (e.g., generous, practical and intelligent) are formed with more and most.

The restaurant had closed by the time we got there. Simon didn't want to come for a meal with us because he had just eaten. Had all your friends gone home by eight o'clock?

We often use time words and phrases like by the time/six o'clock/the end of the week, etc., after, already, as soon as, just, ju st... when, already, never, {not) ... {before), until, it was the first/second time ever, never with the past perfect simple.

The food had gone cold by the time the waiter brought it. 1ate breakfast after 1had had my shower. Dan left the house as soon as he'd eaten. Was it the first time your dad had lost his temper with you? The boy had never skied before.

Notes: 1 It is quite unusual to use the past perfect simple tense in a sentence without another tense, unless it is in the context of a conversation. 2 We can sometimes use EITHER the past perfect simple or the past simple in a sentence, with the same meaning, e.g., They'd been for lunch at the Italian cafe several times before it closed. They went for lunch at the Italian cafe several times before it closed.

Had you been studying for long when 1phoned?

We often use these time words and phrases with the past perfect continuous: before, for, since, when, until, after, for a long time/ages/ weeks, etc., all morning!afternoon!week, etc.

The software had been downloading for ten minutes when John unplugged the laptop. 1had been reading all day so my eyes felt tired.

Harry couldn't answer the teacher's question because he hadn't been listening.

Notes: We can use because with the past perfect continuous when the completed past action caused the past result, e.g., Millie was red because she had been running for an hour. r

Past perfect simple and continuous vs. past simple Use

Example

When the past perfect tense and the past simple :ense are in the same sentence, we use the past oerfect tense for the event that happened first in the past, e.g., A little while after the storm had ended, ±ekids went out for a walk. (The storm ended first, snd then the kids went out for a walk.)

1hadn't finished my popcorn by the time the film ended! My phone had been charging for five minutes when you called. I'd been trying on shoes for ages before 1found a pair 1liked. Had you been working at the cafe for long before you lost yourjob?

Notes: When one action happened immediately after another, we use past simple for both actions, e.g., When Gail got home, she took off her shoes.

A: Andy, have you got many recipe books? B: No, not many, but you can borrow the ones I've got.

*ew + countable nouns ffft/e + uncountable nouns

Notes: 1 We can add very in front of few or little when we want to emphasise how small the number/amount is, e.g., There's very little water left. Very few students can speak six different languages. 2 We can use a lot of and lots of with countable or uncountable nouns to talk about large numbers/amounts of something, e.g., There are a lot of kids at my school who play the drums.

Tell us how technology has changed how you live your life... Here’s this month’s winner, Lucy from Manchester, explaining how TV holiday programmes have changed her life. Td been flicking through the TV channels all morning when suddenly I came across a holiday deal like no other! Now, I don’t normally book holidays that I’ve seen advertised on TV, but my friend 1_____that most of the time it was good value, and she was right! There were lots of deals to choose from and it was so much more convenient than sitting in a travel agent’s! Finally, I found it! The Spanish Hotel was right on the beach and the sea looked crystal clear - no pollution at all. The presenters on the programme showed lots of reviews from people who had stayed at the hotel. Most of them said how tasty the food 2_____, and one woman said that she3_____herself so much that she’d been back to the hotel three years in a row! And she said that the staff there 4_____very attentive and welcoming. I jumped up and rang Abigail, my best friend. She said that she 5_____two hours looking through magazines for a cheap holiday. Well, when I told her about the deal she was so excited! She said that if I book it straight away, she go on holiday with someone else! So, I booked it. We had a good time on holiday, and we both said that i t 8_____the best holiday we’d ever had! I’ll definitely be taking advantage of the TV to find holiday deals in the future!’ ... :.... ...........

• unreal situations in the past

!fl hadn't had to work late, 1wouldn't have missed my favourite TV programme. If the dress hadn't looked cool[ 1could have taken it back.

Notes: 1 The /T-clause can come after the wot/W-clause, e.g., He wouldn't have been late for work if he had got up earlier. If it comes second, you don't need to use a comma. 2 It is possible to use might have instead of could have or would have in a third conditional sentence, e.g., If 1had worked harder,; 1might have passed the Geography exam. 3 It is also possible to use continuous forms in a third conditional sentence, e.g., 1wouldn't have been late ifl hadn't been chatting with my friends.

Relative clauses; gerund and infinitive;

allow, let, make Choose the correct form. Look! That's the boy what/who went to breakdancing classes!

Oh dear! To breakdance/Breakdancing is dangerous! Now I'm pleased that Mum didn't let/allo w me go to those classes!

Relative clauses Relative pronouns Use

Example

• who (or that) refers to people and sometimes to animals, especially pets • which (or that) refers to things and animals • whose refers to possession • where refers to places; used after nouns • when refers to time; used after nouns • whom refers to the person who is the object of the relative clause

There's the boy who does skateboarding around our town! It was the dog that warned us something was wrong! Can you remember which towel you used? Whose mobile phone is this? Is this the place where they're going to build the new skateboard park? Do you remember a time when we didn't use computers every day? I'm sure that's the girl to whom we paid the money!

Notes: 1 We can use whom instead of who in some sentences that talk about people, when the people are the object of the relative clause, e.g., Is she the woman whom we met in town yesterday?This is more formal than using who. 2 We usually use whom after a preposition, e.g., He's the man to whom 1gave the money. Defining relative clauses Form

Use

Example

• defining relative clauses begin with a relative pronoun and are not separated from the rest of the sentence by commas • the sentence does not make sense if we remove the defining relative clause

• to give more essential information about a noun • to identify the person/thing the sentence is about

That's the hotel which Martha stayed in last summer. Do you have any friends who know about surfing? / Do you know the year when she moved here? X B&yethlmew't'h&yeGf?-

Notes: 1 We can use that instead of who or which in defining relative clauses, e.g., I'm sure it wasn't Pete who/that took your bag. Mum can't find the book which/that Dad bought her. 2 We can often omit the relative pronoun when it is the object of the relative clause, e.g., The book which you lent me was great!/The bookyou lent me was great! 3 Don't confuse whose (the relative pronoun for possession) and who's (the short form of who is/who has). 4 We can sometimes use in which instead of whereto talk about specific places, e.g., the hotel where we stayed/the hotel in which we stayed/the hotel which we stayed in.

86


Non-defining relative clauses Form

Use

Example

• non-defining relative clauses begin with a relative pronoun and are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas • the sentence still makes sense if we remove the non­ defining relative clause

• to give extra, nonessential information about a noun in the sentence

The CD, which Blistened to last night, wasn't as good as 1had hoped. Gerry, whose father is a great footballer, has invited me to his house. Flippers shoe shop, where my mum worked, has closed forever. / Flippers shoe shop has closed forever. /

Notes: We can't use that at the beginning of a non-defining relative clause, e.g., / Jeremy Pippin, who works at the sports centre; has bought a new bike. X Jeremy Pippinrfhat works at the sports centre, has bought a new bike.

r

i

Gerund and infinitive Gerund Form

Use

Example

• verb +-ing

• as a noun • as the subject of a sentence • after certain verbs and expressions • after certain prepositions • after go when we refer to a hobby or an activity

Sadie loves swimming. Walking to school is good exercise! 1finished writing my blog last night. 1can't help liking Adam! Are you interested in learning how to breakdance? Let's go shopping after school.

• after certain verbs and

Fred offered to teach us how to play the drums. 1would like to go swimming later. 1would be happy to help you. It was too hot to sit in the sun. You aren't old enough to drive a car.

Infinitive

• base form of the verb with to

expressions

• after certain adjectives • after the words too and enough

Notes: 1 Some common verbs and expressions followed by an infinitive with to are: afford, agree, appear, arrange, ask, choose, decide, encourage, expect, fail, have a chance, help, hope, invite, learn, manage, offer, plan, pretend' promise, refuse, seem, want, would like. 2 Some common verbs and expressions followed by a gerund are: admit, avoid, be used to, can't help, delay, deny, discuss, dislike; enjoy, fancy, feel like, finish, give up, have difficulty, imagine, keep {on), look forward to, mention, mind, miss, practise, prevent, regret, report, risk, suggest, spend time, understand. 3 Some verbs can be followed by the gerund or the infinitive with no change in meaning: begin, can't bearlstand, continue, hate, love, prefer, start, e.g., We started t© watch TV./We started watching TV. 4 Some verbs can be followed by the gerund or the infinitive, but with a change in meaning: forget, learn, like, mean, regret, remember, stop, try, e.g., 1tried to explain what had happened (but 1couldn't do it). 1tried explaining what had happened (but it made no difference). He remembered t© feed the dog. (not forget to do something) He remembered feeding the dog. (have a memory of a past action) 1regret to tell you that you failed the exam, (sorry about something you have to do) 1regret telling Tina about my problem, (sorry about something you did in the past)


allow, let, m ake Use

Form

Example

• (not) allow + -ing (without an object) • (not) allow + object +to + infinitive

for permission

They don't allow parking in the town centre. Harry's parents don't allow him to stay out late.

• let + object +infinitive (without fo)

for permission

Mum won't let me go camping withJolene.

• make + object + infinitive (without to)

• for obligation

1made Jack say he was sorry!

Notes: 1 We can use allow in the passive form with to + infinitive, but we don't use an object in the passive form as we do with the active form, e.g., Mum allowed me to go out. 1was allowed to go out. 2 We can also use make in the passive form, but we must use the infinitive with to rather than without to, e.g.. The teacher made us do our essays again. 14/ewere made to do our essays again. 3 We cannot use let in the passive form.

Practice 1 Choose the correct answer. 1 The student who/what we met yesterday does gymnastics. 2 Celia has a dog that/when always barks at the postman. 3 Have you worked out who /that is coming on the school trip? 4 Do you know which / whose uniform this is?

Underline the passive sentences. Circle the causative sentences. The bucket is kept in the garage, the soap can be found in the cupboard, the

Because I'm having the car washed ' and guess who's doing it?

The passive Use We use the passive to describe something that happens when we want to focus on the action and not on the person or thing responsible for the action.

Form We form the passive by deleting the subject of the sentence (the person or thing responsible for the action) and making the object of the sentence into the new subject. The passive uses the same subject + verb form, e.g., Active: Passive: He locks the door at night The door is locked at night. subject + verb + object subject + verb Active

Passive

Present simple They keep the window open during the day.

The window is kept open during the day.

Present continuous He is watering the plants at the moment.

The plants are being watered at the moment.

Past simple She ate the last piece of cake.

The last piece of cake was eaten.

Past continuous We were planning a party.

A party was being planned.

Present perfect 1have broken the record.

The record has been broken.

Past perfect They had won the top prize.

The top prize had been won.

Future simple The artist will design the card.

The card will be designed.


Notes: 1 In the passive, the object from the active sentence becomes the subject, e.g., She was watching the old man. The old man was being watched. 2 We often use the passive for news reports and historical accounts when the actions are more important than who did them, e.g., A car was damaged in the town centre yesterday. 3 We also use the passive when we don't know the subject, i.e., who or what caused the action to happen, e.g., The car was damaged. = (someone, but we don't know who, damaged the car) 4 Sometimes it is impossible to say who did the action when we use the passive, but in some cases we can use b y... at the end of the sentence to say who did it, e.g., The car was stolen by thieves. 5 When we say who did the action and use by with a pronoun, we need to change the subject pronoun into an object pronoun, e.g., I ate the cake. The cake was eaten by me. not

The causative Use We use the causative to say that we are arranging for somebody else to do something for us rather than doing it ourselves, e.g., I'm having my computer fixed. The subject of the sentence does not do the main action. Form • the causative is formed by using have + participle, e.g., I am having my room painted. • the word order changes, so that have comes immediately after the subject and the verb comes after the object of the sentence, e.g., Non-causative form: Causative form: He is fixing the chair. He is having the chair fixed. subject + verb + object subject + have + object + participle Non-causative

Causative

Present simple He washes his car every week.

He has his car washed every week.

Present continuous She is cleaning her bedroom.

She is having her bedroom cleaned.

Past simple They built a house.

They had a house built.

Past continuous We were cutting our grass when we heard the bang.

We were having our grass cut when we heard the bang.

Present perfect Luke has put new tyres on his car.

Luke has had new tyres put on his car.

Past perfect Paula had painted her nails before she styled her hair.

Paula had had her nails painted before she styled her hair.

Future simple Jenny and Bob will fix their outside light.

Jenny and Bob will have their outside light fixed.

Notes: We can normally replace have with get, e.g., He is having his car washed. = He is getting his car washed.

T H E B A K G ll ST REET R O B B E R Y One of the most famous crimes of all time was the bank robbery on the corner of Baker Street in London in 1971. The bank was robbed by men who had rented a shop two doors away from the bank. The group spent their weekends digging under the ground and through the shop between them and into the bank. Their plan was nearly ruined when a man heard their conversation, recorded it and called the police. However, the robbers didn’t say which bank it was, so all the banks in the area were checked. The Baker Street Bank was also checked by the police, but because the security door was locked, it was considered safe. Three million pounds were stolen that night. Four men were caught and sent to prison for the robbery, but the story is still famous today, with films and TV shows about the crime being made.
