We form the past continuous tense
by adding -ing to the main verb after the appropriate past fo rm of the verb to be.

I was sleeping.

He / She l it was sleeping.

'1

Was I sleeping?

Was he

I was not sleeping He


Short fo rm:

We use the past continuous tense:


1.

to indicate that an action was going on at a definite time in the past.

What were you doing at 10:30 last night?


I was watching TV at 10:30 last night.

2.

to express a past action which was going on when another event took place.

And what about the weather? Treviso has got a better climate for us, the
British. It's not as hot as it is in Cariati. And, you know, we are not accustomed
to hot weather.
You're right.
WelJ, actually, life in Cariati is more attractive. That is why more peop le
visit there.
I can say that Cariati is the best holiday res~rt I have ever visited.

I have not worked.

Short fo rms:

We use the present p erfect ten se to describe an action that took p lace at some indefi nite time in
the past and has a connection with the present time. If the exact time is mentioned, we often use

the Simple past tense.


EXAMPLES: a) I have read that magaZine.

(Indefinite time in the past)


(Definite time)

b) 1 read that magazine yesterday.

The time expressions like today, this week, this year, etc. symbolize the present time.
EXAMPLE : I haven' f seen Bob today.

We also use the present perfect tense


to describe an action that was repeated several (many) times in the past.
EXAMPLE : Diana has gone to London several times.

THE INFINITIVE

~

.:~

...

The infinitive consists of two words, to + verb, as in the examples.


to work

to study

to read

We use the infinitive to complete the m eaning of several verbs.

VERB + INFINITIVE :
a) Helen likes to study English .

b )They began to run.

VERB + OBJECT + INFINITIVE :


a ) His fa ther wants AlIan to be an engineer.

b )She asks me to help her.

We also use the infinitive to complete the meaning of several adjectives and ad verbs.
EXAMPLE:
It is impossible to study at home tonight.

INFINITIVE WITHOUT "TO" :


After some verbs and expressions like will, shall, can, do, mus t, m ay, n eedn't, dare,
would rather, had b etter, let, make, fee l, hear, see and watch we use the infinitive without to.

We use should
1 . to express what we think is good or right to do.
EXAMPLE,
You should knock at the door before you come in.

2. to ask for or give an opinion about something.


EXAMPLES ,
a) Do you think we should caB a doctor?

b) Yes, I thjnk we should call a doctor.

3. to express that something is not right or not what we expect.


EXAMPLE,

_ _ _ _...:Tc.h"o.::.
se:...b::..:oys should be at school now.
Should and ought to have the same meaning. We can use ought to instead of should.

Should and ought to can be used with a perfect infinitive ( have+ V3)
to talk about past events which didn't happen although they were necessary.
EXAMPLE,
Mike should I,a ve studied hard to pass the finaJ examinations.(But he didn't.)

John and Mary, a young couple, hated city life. They loved the nature and the countryside.
They lived in a beautiful old house. It was built many years ago by John's grandfather. It
had a lovely view over a lake. The lake was surrounded by trees and mountains. The
mountain tops were covered in snow throughout the year. The house was rewired severa l
years ago. It was in a very good condition. Large new windows were fitted facing the lake.
In addition, central heating was installed. John and Mary were very happy. They wanted
their children to live in the same house. Then John heard that plans were being made to
build a huge apartment block in front of their house. His wIfe was horrified! His children
were horrified, too. At once he telephoned all his relatives. The whole family was astounded
by the news! They couldn't believe that preparations were being made to ruin the countryside!
The whole family was gathered together. Donations were asked for from everyone, and a
large sum of money was collected. But the building plot outside their home had been bought
by a building company. The apartment block was erected, the trees were cut down, and the
wonderful view was destroyed forever! Terrible damage had been done to the environment!

There are two ways of reporting what a person has said.


1. DIRECT SPEECH

We repeat the speaker's words.


He said, " I have lost my pen."

2. INDIRECT SPEECH : We give the exact meaning of a speech w ithout necessarily


using the speaker's exact words. U we wan t to mention who the speaker talked to, we use
told, otherwise we use said.
He said that he had lost his pen.
He told me that he had lost his pen.

Pronouns and possessive adjectives norm ally change fro m first or second person to third
person except when the speaker is reporting his own word s.
EXAMPLES :
a) I said, " [love my English lesson."

] said that I loved my English lesson. (The speaker is reporting his own word s)
b) He said, " I love my English lesson."
H e said that he loved his Eng lis h lesson .

THE PARTS OF A SENTENCE


The MO essential parts of a sentence are the subject and the predicate.
EXAMPLES:
SENTENCE

Predicate

a) Fish

swim.

b)Men
c) Mary

work.

sang.

A.SUBJECf

Fish swim.
What is the sentence about? This question means: What is the subject of the sentence? In this
sentence the subject is Fish. The sentence tells us something abou t Fish: Em1 swim.
B. PREDICATE

FishSJlim,
What says something about the subject? The verb swim says something about the subject (fish):
Fish SJli.Hl. Swim is the predicate in this sentence.
The predicate tens us something about the Subject.

~2.

What does the subject do?


A student studies.
(or) What happens to the subject?
A glass is broken .
(or) What is the subject?
- -_ The sun is.
One-word Subjects and One-word Predicates are called: Simple Subjects and Simple Predicates.

EXAMPLES:
a) Fish is a simple subject.
~
Swim is a simple predicate.

~ 3.

b ) M e" is a simple subject.


Work is a simple predicate.

When there is more than one subject in a sentence, we call it a Compound Subject.
When there is more than one predicate in a senten ce we caU it a Compound Predicate.

EXAMPLE:

Subject

Predicate (verb)

Dogs and cats

walk and sleep

Dogs and ca ts is a Compound Subject.


walk and sleep is a Compound Predicate.

or the Complete Predicate.
EXAMPLES:
SENTENCES

Complete Subject

b) The city of SamSUll

Complete Predicate

is on the Black Sea Coast.

CLAUSES
A clau se, like a sentence, must have a su bject and a verb.

There are two types of clauses :


1.

IMAIN CLAUSE
The main clause of a sentence is a complete, independent sentence by itself. It can stand alone.
EXAMPLE :
When the bell ranSt th e teacher went into the classroom.
T h e teacher went into the classroom is a complete sentence by itself. We don't need to know
anything more.

2.

I SUBORDINATE CLAUSE
The subordinate clause, like the main clause, has a subject and a predicate, but it is not
complete by itself. It can not stand alo ne. We need to know something more.

EXAMPLE:
When the bell rang, the teacher went into the classroom.
We ask: When the bell rang. what happened?
When the bell rang can not stand alone. We need to know more. So, it is a subordinate clause.
There are three kinds of subordinate clause:
a) ADJECTIVE CLAUSES

b) ADVERBIAL CLAUSES
NOUN CLAUSES

c)

If there is a subordinate clause in a sentence, how can we tell which kind of clause it is? We must
ask how it functions in the sentence. How does it work? Does it function like all adjective? If so, it
is an adjective clause. Does it fUllctioll like a 1I0UII? Then it is a noun clause. Does it function like 011
adverb? Then it is an adverbial clause.

SENTENCES AND CLAUSES

ADJECTIVE CLAUSES
Adjective clauses give us information about the noun before them. We use the relative
pronoWls whol whom, which, whose and that to introduce the adjective clauses. So

we can name them as relative clauses, too.


We use who and whom for persons.

EXAMPLES:
a) The man who went to Sydney is my uncle.

b) I know the girl who won the first prize.


c) The boy ( whom) you saw on the street is my nephew.
d) The man whom I bought this watch from is very rich.
Whom can be dropped out from the sentence if we use it in the object position.

EXAMPLE:

The girl ( whom) you gave your book to is my classmate.


We use which for things.

EXAMPLES:
a) The house which was built last year has five storeys.

b ) The story ( which ) Tom told us was very interesting.


Which can be dropped out from the sentence if we use it in the object position.

EXAMPLE:

The house ( which ) my father bought was very expensive.


We use that both for persons and things.

EXAMPLES:
a ) The girl that won the first prize is my niece.

b ) I saw the tiger that killed the hunter.


That is used only in defining relative clauses.
We use whose both for persons and things in the possessive case.

EXAMPLES:
a ) The lady whose hou se is w hite went to Boston.
b) The chair whose legs are broken must be thrown away.

THE CHILDREN IN GHANA


The children in Ghana are crazy about football. But only a few of them have got balls of their
own. Most of them play it with a paper ball. Although they have to do a lot of work, they find
time to play football. Some of them he lp their parents look after their younger sisters and
brothers. Most of the teenager boys look after cattle and sheep and girls help their mothers
carry water from fountains and wells.
Nowadays only a thirty percent of small children go to primary schoo l. In Ghana, families
have so many children, but, unfortunately, the number of schools is so few. As a result, in one
sc hoo l in each cla ss th ere are 85 s tudents who are trained by th e ir teachers.
Traditionally, the people in Ghana are not used to eating vegetables. This situation is very bad
for the growing up of the chiJdren. For this reason, in schools, there are ga rdens on which
students can grow their own vegetables.
Children have to walk to school since there is no public transport. Some stud ents even walk
for five hours to their schools. Many of them walk at least two or three hours to reach their
school. The citizens in Ghana know the importance of education, so they love and enjoy
sending their children to school. On the other hand, the government wants more children to
go to school. Some international organisations, such as UNESCO and UNTCEF help them.
Majority of the students want to become doctors. They know that the citizens in Ghana have
health problems, so they want to solve this problem. They have to work hard, beca use they
know that they are Ghana's hope for the future .

THE SHOE SELLER AND THE BOY


Paul Molley sold cheap shoes. He had an old van which he used in his business. He bought
the shoes from the factory in the neighbouring town and took them from one house to
another. His main aim was to sell these shoes to people and earn money. He sold a lot of
his shoes in small villages, because there were not many shops in these villages. As people
didn't want to go to the town frequently, they bought Paul's shoes.
One day Paul came to a village. He stopped in front of one of the houses. A small boy was
standing beside the door. Paul opened the wi nd ow of his van and called to the boy.
"Hello! Is your mother at home?"
The small boy looked at him and then he answered, "Yes, she is."
"That's great." Paul said smiling. He got out of his van, took some pairs of shoes from the
back and went to the door of the house very happily. He knocked at the door and wai ted
for sometime. Nobody opened the door. After a while, Paul knocked at the door again and
waited, but nobody opened. Then Paul looked at the small boy and said angrily, "You see,
your mother is not at home. Why did you lie to me?"
"No, she is at home." the small boy answered without a n y h es itation.
'Then, why hasn't she opened the door?" asked Paul suspiciously.
"Because this isn't our house," the small boy answered.

Once upon a time, a boy whose name was BiIJ lived in a small town that was very far
from the sea. BiU read several books about seas, ships and their voyages to distant

countries. He always imagined himself in th e sea, on a ship or in a voyage.


When Bill was fifteen, he decided to become an officer in the navy. As a result, he went
to a center where young men have been trained for this purpose. Bill enjoyed the lessons
a lot. The lessons in which they were trained as officers on the ships made him very
happy. He was also happy to do a lot of sports and exercise, because he was the best
student in his class who did such activities.
One day, it was time to begin having swimming and diving lessons for the new students.
The next morning all the students were at the pool. Bill was very eager at learning to
swim. A few minutes later the teacher came and he told the ones who could not swim
to go into one group, the ones who were good at swimming but bad a t diving to go
into a second group, and those who could both swim and dive well to go into a third
group. Bill went to the second group. The instructor told the group in which Bill was
to jump into the pool and swim to the other end. Those who jumped into the water
before Bill were good at swimming, so they didn't have any problem in swimming to
the other end. It was Bills turn to jump into the wa ter. As soon as he began to swim,
he sank under the water. When the instructor noticed that Bill did not come up, he
jumped in and took Bill out immediately. The instructor was aJarmed and shocked . He
asked Bill:
"Why didn't you join the ones who can not swim?"
"Sir, I'd never even bathed in a pool before." Bill answered. "So, I didn't know w hether
I could swim or not."

Brian was an old farmer. He was born on his farm and all his life he had li ved there. He
was married and had three children. They grew fruit a nd vegetab les on their farm.
Brian got up at five o'clock every morning. He put all the fruit and vegetables in his old
truck and went to the market. There were very few vehicles on the country roads early
in the morning. He was never careful while driving his truck. He only wanted to reach
the market as early as possible before the other farmers.
One morning, he was again driving to the town market. He was thinking about what to
plant for next year. All his neighbouring farmers were planting the same things. As a
resu lt, the prices were coming down in the market. For this reason, he was getting less
money. After a few kilometers, Brian came to an intersection. He drove his truck without
stopping. He always crossed the road like that, because there was never any other vehicles
on the road at this early hour of the morning. So, there was no fear of having an accident.
On the other hand, he was also in a hurry, as he wanted to be the first in the market.
However, this morning a young traffic policeman stopped Brian a hundred meters beyond
the intersection. He had never seen this policeman before. Brian stopped beside him. The
policeman said to him, "Didn't you know that there was a stop sign at the intersection?"
"Oh, yes," Brian answered. "I knew there was a sign there, because I go to the market along
this road eve ry mornin g. Unfortunate ly I didn 't know that you we re here."
