2 1. Why Write

3 1.1. Writing to Work With computers now a part of almost every job, word processing and ing are essential skills. Getting and keeping a job these days usually involves good writing skills. You will need writing in your job in these forms: Letters of application and Resume Memos and Reports (office works) Letters Records and Orders (health-care professional) Legal Briefs (lawyer)

4 All the students need to know writing techniques to:
1.2. Writing to Learn All the students need to know writing techniques to: Take Notes Write Essays & Reports Answer Examination Questions Be able to write letters & s

5 1.3. Writing to Communicate
All of us need writing to be able to communicate using: Text Messages (SMS language or textese ) Personal Letter

6 2. The Writing Process

7 No two writers approach writing in exactly the same way
No two writers approach writing in exactly the same way. But they do tend to follow a series of actions that look something like this: Exploring Ideas Prewriting Organizing Writing a First Draft Revising the Draft Producing the Final Copy

8 2.1. Step 1: Exploring Ideas SO
Remember that writing is like speech, and speaking includes discovering ideas as you say them. This is the first step of writing. SO Before you sit down to write, let your mind speak freely. When inspiration happens, capture it by writing on what ever you can: Napkins, Piece of paper, back of your hand.

9 Never forget the three fundamental questions:
In order to have your exploration systematic you need to bare three items in your mind: Something to say Reason for saying Someone to say it to So Never forget the three fundamental questions: What is my subject? What is my purpose? Who is my audience?

10 Your Subject While choosing your subjects keep these issues in mind: Choose the most interesting subjects to your audience Choose the subjects about which you care Choose the subjects about which you know You must select and then narrow your subject

11 Example: Suppose you are asked to describe a job you know well
Example: Suppose you are asked to describe a job you know well. Ask yourelf thgese questions: What jobs have I done or do now? What do I know about these jobs? Which jobs (or parts of one job) do I feel strongly about? What do I hate? What parts make me angry or happy? What tools or materials do I use in my job? How do I perform each task? Which tasks are most interesting or boring? What examples or little stories best illustrate these points?

12 What do you want to do with your writing?
Your Purpose What do you want to do with your writing? You can: Inform (your classmates about some procedures at your job) Persuade (your classmates that they should find or avoid a job like you) Entertain ( your classmates with examples of odd incidents you have experienced at your job) All these three

13 Exercise: Read each sentence and write the purpose of the paragraph
Exercise: Read each sentence and write the purpose of the paragraph. Then choose one of the sentences and revise it so that it begins a different paragraph. Before November 18, 1883, when the railroads instituted the Standard Time and time zones, the time of day varied from city to city and town to town……………… There must be better ways to resolve differences than going to war…… The history behind the naming of months of the calendar is fascinating…………. The Roman emperors Julius and Augustus Caesar each added a month to the year, and named them ,of course, after themselves………………

14 2.1.3. Your Audiance Who is your audience?
The answer to this question may help you: Determine the content of your writing Determine the purpose of your writing The amount of needed explanation The amount of needed evidence to persuade

15 Topic: The role of personal web sites on the internet like My Space
Exercise: For each of the following topic, list two or three points you would include if your were writing to a different audiences specified. Example: Topic: The benefits of controlled diets Audience: Overweight adults: better health, better appearance, feeling of well being Topic: The role of personal web sites on the internet like My Space Audience: People between the age of 12-30 Audience: People between the age of 40-70 2. Topic: The reasons for requiring helmets for motorcycle riders Audience: Riders of motorcycles Audience: Motor cycle manufacturers

16 Exercise: Read the text and answer questions

17 What’s the writer’s main purpose: to inform, persuade or entertain
What’s the writer’s main purpose: to inform, persuade or entertain? Or is it a combination of these purposes? Who’s the audience for this article? Would you expect to find it in a college textbook, a newspaper or a popular magazine? Write your reasons. What point or points is the writer making? What’s the writer’s attitude toward his son? Does he have more than one attitude? How do you know?

18 capturing your thoughts
2.2. Step 2: Prewriting The second step of writing process involves capturing your thoughts on a piece of paper or on the computer screen. This step is called prewriting in which you jot down whatever comes to your mind without any worrying about spelling or punctuation. There are three techniques regarding this step 1. Brainstorming 2. Clustering 3. Freewriting

19 2.2.1. Brainstorming Brainstorming
One way to capture your thoughts is by Brainstorming Or listing thoughts as they come to you Here is an example from a student who has been asked to describe a job:

20 Clustering In this technique you put your topic in a circle in the middle of the page and then add related ideas as they occur to you. These related ideas are called Branches In the following example the topic is a job description my job delivering pizza


22 Freewriting In this technique you simply start writing about your topic without worrying about sentence structure, spelling, logic, and grammar. Here the only difference is that your pieces of information is not in the form of single words but sentences. Use abbreviations and shortcuts so you can get your ideas down fast. Don’t think of your freewriting as disorganized. Just let your ideas flow. You can expand it, change it or omit some parts

23 Here we have the same example of a job description

24 2.3. Step 3: Organizing Now that you captured your ideas you can select from and organize them: Underline or highlight the most promising ideas in your brainstorming list. Then rewrite the list. You can add more ideas to your list. Choose the part of clustering diagram that seems most promising. You can even do a second clustering diagram. Highlight the most promising parts of your freewriting. You can narrow your subject or add more details.

25 2.3.1. Selecting Now you have narrowed your focus
And Generate more ideas The next step is to choose one of those ideas that fits your purpose and audience. Example: Your topic is the “pizza delivery as a job”. Your Purpose is to entertain who have part time job and to show that your job is not that bad. So You will keep the most humorous information: Fuzzy Ms. Fritzy, Wobbly Wally, and the Fraternity boys You will omit the unimportant parts such as the ones about your cell phone, and working hours

26 2.3.2. Outlining . To write an outline, follow these guidelines.
Choose a topic Determine the larger purpose of your work Gather supporting materials Decide how to generally order your supporting evidence so that it supports your larger purpose Decide whether to write a topic outline or a sentence outline. Identify your main categories. Think of at least two points for each category. Expand upon your points with sub-points if necessary.

27 Example

28 After deciding on the focus of the customers, the pizza delivery writer can make a rough outline:

29 2.4. Step 4: Writing a First Draft
In the prewriting stage you have: Select your best ideas Arrange them in some reasonable order Now Begin writing your first draft and:

30 Don’t worry about writing something perfect.
Write fast as if speaking your words aloud. Leave wide margins. If new ideas occur to you write them on the margin. Double-space so there will be enough room for changes Use only one side of the paper so you can cut and paste the changes. Tape or staple additions where you want them to go. Say something loud before you write it. Circle the words you think you misspelled or will want to change later

31 Example: Here is the example of description pizza delivery as job

32 2.5. Step 5: Revising the Draft
After completing your first draft, set it aside. Give yourself a chance to see it with fresh eyes later. It’s hard to think about changing and correcting your work immediately after you finish a draft. You tend to read what you think you said, not what’s actually on the paper.

33 Now go back to what you have written , read it carefully.
Reviewing Now go back to what you have written , read it carefully. Study its organization, word choice, and details. You will find something to cut and something to add. Rearrange sections, rephrase sentences, and improve your word choice. Look at the words you circle earlier and correct the misspellings. Make notes in the margin and use arrows to show the place they will be added.

34 Example: Here is our old example’s reviewing

35 Reading aloud Now read your work aloud. Listen hard. You’ll probably hear mistakes to correct and discover improvements to make. Then read your work again , perhaps to another person, and repeat the process until you’re satisfied that your writing is interesting and clear.

36 they actively attempt to find meaning for themselves.
2.5.3.Predicting Remember Readers don’t merely receive information; they actively attempt to find meaning for themselves. They predict what will follow from your opening sentences and then perhaps adjust their predictions as they read on. Here is how to do it: Read the first sentence or two Stop and think about what your readers would expect to follow. Decide if the rest of the paragraph satisfies those predictions. Make notes on what you add, remove, or shift to satisfy your reader’s expectations.

37 2.6. Step 6: Producing the Final Copy
Once you’re reasonably satisfied with you writing, you can begin the final copy. Prepare it according to the guidelines of your instructor. Before finishing pay attention to the details you have ignored

38 2.6.1. Editing Examine and look for your mistakes carefully.
Check the misspelled or repeated words. Look for grammatical errors, missing word endings, incomplete sentences, and incorrect punctuation. Read the pare more than once. Copy it again and again including the new changes.

39 Proofreading Proofreading means carefully examining the last copy again, and comparing it with previous ones. Read the paper slowly. Place a ruler under each line to focus your eyes. Read the paper aloud.

40 Example: Here is the pizza delivery example’s final copy.

41 3.Sentence

42 3.1. Building & Repairing Sentences 3.1.1. What is a Sentence?
A sentence is the basic unit of expression. Every sentence must make a complete statement. Sentence Subject (Who or What the statement is about) Verb (What the subject does or is)

43 Most often the subject comes first and the verb follows the subject
Most often the subject comes first and the verb follows the subject. Examples: This group of words that can express a complete proposition is called a clause. Subject Verb President Abraham Lincoln loved He saved The turkey was

44 An independent clause can stand as a complete sentence.
As you can see the subject and the verb of a sentence don’t complete the statement. That usually requires additional words that follow the verb: Subject verb Remainder of the clause President Abraham Lincoln Loved Animals. He Saved A turkey’s life. The turkey was A gift for Christmas dinner. This combination of Subject + verb + completion of the statement is called an independent clause. An independent clause can stand as a complete sentence.

45 Identifying Subjects The best way to identify the subject and verb is to look for both at the same time. The subject: Tells who or what the clause makes a statement about. Usually appears at the beginning of the statement before the verb. Can be a proper noun, subject pronoun, common noun, or gerund.

46 Exercise: Underline the subjects in each sentence.
Tad Lincoln was only ten years old in 1863. He adored the turkey and named it Jack. The bird soon followed Tad around the White House grounds. Tad and his father agreed not to kill the animal. Pardoning the White House turkey has since become an annual tradition for presidents.

47 Identifying Verbs The verb: Says what the subject does or is.
Usually has a tense = indicating if the verb discusses the past, present, or future. Usually follows the subject and begins a statement about the subject. May contain more than one word.

48 Example: Circle the verbs in the following sentences.
Lincoln was controversial throughout his presidency. By today’s standards, people might even consider Lincoln as racist. Lincoln didn’t free the slaves at the beginning of the Civil War for a simple reason. He wanted to bring the South back into the Union quickly. However like other great presidents, he grew in office and took courageous positions. In the fall of 1862, he drafted the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves in the areas still in rebellion as of January1, 1863.

49 Coordination If you want to keep your readers interested, you need to create some variety in your sentences. Sentence variety comes largely from joining sentences. One way to add sentences is to add words that join them. A joining word is called conjunction. Notice how conjunctions connect the following pairs of words: John and I (two people, or subjects) Tripped or fell (two action verbs) A fat yet athletic man (two adjectives) Moved quickly but carefully ( two adverbs)

50 for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so One kind of conjunction is called
coordinating conjunction. As you can see in these examples each pair of word is grammatically equal or coordinate. So Coordinating conjunctions are the ones that can join grammatically equal structures. The coordinating conjunctions are seven: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

51 َ As coordinating conjunctions can join two grammatically equal structures, they can connect two sentences. Remember that every sentence must have at least one independent clause (a subject and a verb that can stand alone). In this case you create a single sentence with two independent clauses. This single sentence is called compound sentence. Examples: Male babies often wear blue, and female babies were pink. Years ago, people wanted to protect their infant boys from evil spirits, so they dressed the boys in blue. People associated blue with good spirits, for those spirits live in the blue sky. Of course, people cared about their female children, yet people did not care enough to dress them in blue.

52 Coordinating conjunctions do not connect two structure without any additional impact. They also explain the logical relationship between the two clauses: Conjunction Purpose Example for Shows a reason (the second clause gives a reason for the first) He is gambling with his health, for he has been smoking far too long. and Shows addition They gamble, and they smoke. nor Shows a negative alternative (It is the negative form of or and it must contain a negative word such as not) They do not gamble nor do they smoke. but Shows contrast They gamble, but they don't smoke. or Shows and alternative or choice Every day they gamble or they smoke. yet Shows an unexpected contrast (It is similar in meaning to although) They gamble, yet they don't smoke. so Shows a result (the first clause results in the second.) He gambled well last night so he smoked a cigar to celebrate.

53 Tom likes ice cream, but he likes pizza better.
Punctuation rules say you do not need a comma for all coordinating conjunctions: Place a comma before the coordinating conjunction that joins independent clauses. Don not use a comma before coordinating conjunctions that merely join two words Example: Tom likes ice cream, but he likes pizza better. Tom likes ice cream and pizza.

54 Exercise: Join each of the following pairs of sentences with one coordinating conjunction
It was August 3, A stagecoach was traveling across California. A man with a flour sack over his head stopped the coach. He pointed the rifle at the drivers. The man told them to throw their cash box. He did not harm anyone. Later someone found the box. That person was surprised. The box contained an angry poem signed by “Black Bart". It also contained a note of apology saying,” Driver, give my respects to your friend , the other driver”. Black Bart continued robbing. He continued to leave humorous verses. The stagecoach company was not amused. It offered a reward of 800$ for his capture. On Bart’s last hold up, someone shot and wounded him. He tried to stop bleeding with a handkerchief that he left behind. Detectives learned that Black Bart’s real name by tracing the laundry mark on the handkerchief. The robber might have gone free.

55 He was Charles E. Bolton and elderly gentleman with a mustache, gold-headed cane, and fin clothes. He finally confessed to his crimes. He also said,” I never robbed a passenger. I never treated a human being badly.” (use nor, and change the wording of the second paragraph) He was supposed to serve a long term in prison, His behavior was so gentlemanly that he was released four years later.

56 3.1.3. Subordination Look at the following sentence:
I came home from work, and I found an eight-foot cobra snake in my living room. In this sentence two equal structure have been joined by a coordinating conjunction. Do you think the idea in both structures are also equal? These ideas shouldn’t be joined by and. They need to be joined in a way that expresses their inequality. Here are two possibilities: When I came home from work, I found an eight-foot cobra snake in my living room. After coming home from work, I found and eight-foot cobra snake in my living room. Now the less important idea is subordinate to the more important one. This process is called subordination.

57 Subordination creates a kind of clause called dependent clause
Subordination creates a kind of clause called dependent clause. A dependent clause is a kind of clause which cannot stand alone as a separate sentence. Because its meaning is not complete without an independent clause. A dependent clause gives us the less important information than the independent clause. Example: When Albert sits down for dinner, he can eat seven pizzas. The joining word when subordinates the clause it introduces. Therefore, we call it a subordinating conjunction.

58 Exercise: Each sentence contains a dependent clause, an independent clause and a subordinating conjunction. Label them with DC, IC, and SC. In 1936,when the Olympic Games begin in Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler wanted them to prove his theories of Aryan (white) superiority. However after a twenty-two-year-old African-American named James Cleveland Owens had competed in the track-and field events, the young man ripped those theories to pieces. At the beginning of track-and-field events, Owens felt tense because a German had won a gold medal the day before and received Hitler’s enthusiastic congratulations. But later the same day, when one of the African-American athletes won a gold medal, Hitler did not shake his hand but hurried out of the stadium. Although Hitler claimed he left to escape a light drizzle, the meaning of German dictator’s action was obvious. If Hitler felt bad about a black man winning a medal, Owens would soon make him feel much worse. When the track-and-field events were over, Owen had won four gold medals, breaking or equaling nine Olympic records

59 (Contrasting Conjunctions)
(When Conjunctions) After As As soon as Before Once Since Until When While After I lost,……………… As I was walking down the street,………….. As soon as you finish,……………… Before the lights go out,……………….. Once you have finished the cleaning,(means after) Since I made my first billion dollar,…………………. Until the sun sets,………………… When the semester is over,……………. While the music was playing,………….. (Why Conjunctions) Because Because you are improving your writing……….. Since the water in the lake is o warm,……… (Where Conjunctions) Where Wherever Where there is smoke,………… Wherever you can find a job,……….. (Contrasting Conjunctions) Although Even though Whereas Although you look honest,……………………… Even though the test was difficult,………………. Whereas many people thought the world was flat,…. (Conditional Conjunctions) If Unless If I have the opportunity,………………. Unless he stops playing the music loudly

60 Punctuation rules say that you need a comma after the dependent clause at the beginning of a sentence. Example: When the alarm clock rings in the morning, I put the pillow over my head. You shouldn't use a comma before a dependent clause at the end of a sentence(but you may use a comma before a long clause beginning with the words unless, although, or since). I put the pillow over my head when the alarm clock rings in the morning. I always get to work on time, although my hair may not be combed or my shirt buttoned.

61 Exercise: Read the sentences and match each pair with appropriate subordinating conjunction.
No one was surprised at Jesse Owen’s success in the 1936 Olympics. He had done something even more remarkable a year earlier. He competed in the Big Ten championship on May 25, He had the greatest day in the history of modern track competition. He didn’t think he would even be able to participate. He has strained his back a few weeks earlier. He could not even jog at the warm-up before the meet. He decided to compete in the 100-yard dash. He got off to a perfect start. He finished the dash in 9.4 seconds, matching the world record. His coach advised Owen to take only a single long jump. He leaped almost 27 feet and beat the world record by nearly a half foot. Owens won the 200-yard dash in 20.3 seconds. He set another world record. Owens finished the 220-yard low hurdle in 22.6 seconds. He broke an 11-year-old world record. Owens completed four events in forty-five minutes. He set three world records and tied another.

62 3.1.4. Pronouns Pronouns are words that can replace nouns.
This part will introduce you to additional ways of joining sentences, with pronouns. Look at the two sentences below. I talked to the counselor. She was very helpful. The words the counselor and she refer to one person. In this example she could be replaced with another pronoun, who: I talked to the counselor who was very helpful. We call who a relative pronoun because it relates the information was very helpful to the counselor.

63 who, whom, whose, which, and that.
The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, and that.  The teacher who has that book is Ms. Lincoln.  Jane is the person to whom I sent the invitation.  The man whose car I hit was very nice about it.  My report which is due tomorrow is finished.  The tomatoes that John gave me from his garden are delicious. Clauses beginning with the relative pronouns are called Relative clause. They are dependent clauses because they cannot stand alone as a sentence. They are called adjective clause because they describe a noun or a pronoun. The place of an adjective clause is exactly after the noun it describes. Example: Bill bought his daughter a car that costs a fortune.

64 There are two kinds of adjective clauses
Restrictive Nonrestricitve

65 Read the two sentences below 1
Read the two sentences below 1. You cant start a car that has a dead battery. 2. My new car, which I bought in October, started everyday in the coldest weather Now Omit the adjective clauses in both sentences. You can’t start a car…… My new car…….. started everyday in the coldest weather. If you consider the changes in meaning you can see that there is a great difference between the meanings of sentence (1) and sentence (a).In sentence (1), the relative clause restricts the meaning of the car to the one with a dead battery and not any other car. So we call this relative clause a Restrictive Relative Clause. But the sentences (2) and (b) have similar meanings. In sentence (2) the relative clause just adds a bit of extra information and because the clause doesn't restrict the meaning in a particular way we call the clause a Nonrestrictive Relative Clause. We shouldn't use a comma around a restrictive relative clause while we should use commas around the nonrestrictive relative clause.

66 The relative pronoun who, which and that can serve as the subject of their clause: Examples: Dr. Dunn is the professor who teaches modern language. Our car, which is ten years old, needs to be replaced. You have to take a course that fulfills the natural science requirement. The relative pronouns whom, that, which are the objects of their clauses. Example: Please give this form to the man whom you see at the front desk. You must fill out several forms that you can get from the receptionist. This is the form on which you need to write your name and address. The relative pronoun in the object position can be omitted except when it follows a preposition. Please give this form to the man you see at the front desk. You must fill out several forms you can get from the receptionist.

67 Exercise: Combine the following sentences using the relative pronoun.
Throughout France in the early sixteenth century, New Year’s Day was celebrated on march 25. It began the spring season. People would celebrate for a week by exchanging gifts at parties and dinners. These ended on April 1. However, in 1564, King Charles IX moved the date of the New Year’s Day back to January 1. It was the beginning of the new Gregorian calendar. Nevertheless, for many of the French, gift-giving and parties continued to occur on April1. They resisted the charge. Some of the people made fun of these conservatives by sending foolish gifts and invitations to parties. The parties didn’t exist. After the French became comfortable with January 1 as the beginning of the year, they continued to play jokes on April 1. It became the tradition. Two hundred years later. The English adopted the custom. It then went on to reach the American colonies.

68 Now look at another example of relative clause joining two sentences:
I know something. You said it. I know what you said. Notice that “what you said” replaces “something” that is the object of the verb “know”. An object is a noun or here a pronoun. So we can call the relative clause in this case a Noun Clause. Because it function as a noun and replaces a noun A noun clause can be the subject of a sentence compare these sentences: His behavior annoyed me. What he did annoyed me.

69 Other joining words can begin noun clauses.
where how He told me when I should go. when that if He asked me he should go. weather

70 3.2. Revising Sentences 3.2.1. Subject-verb Agreement
As you know the subject of a sentence comes before the verb and could be: Nouns or Pronouns. They could be singular (representing one person, thing or place) or plural (representing more than one). A singular subject goes with a singular verb and a plural subject goes with a plural verb. This rule is called subject-verb agreement. Now look at5 the two sentences that did not obey this rule: I are reading a fascinating book. He am a charming man The correct forms are: I am reading a fascinating book. He is a charming man

71 3.2.2. Present Tense Verb Simple Present
Read Rose’s answer to an interviewer: Yes, I like this supermarket. I think it’s very nice. Yes, my husband thinks so, too. We always shop here. We come here every week. We live quite near, so it doesn’t take long to get here. The bold verbs in this paragraph are in Simple Present Tense. Positive Form: I/you/we/they shop here. He/she/ it shops here. Negative Form: I/you/we/they do not(don’t) shop here. He/she/it does not (doesn’t) shop here. Question Form: Do I/you/we/they shop here? Does he/she/it shop here?

72 Uses of Simple Present Tense
We use simple present for: Thoughts and feelings: I think so, I like it. My husband thinks so. States, things staying the same, facts, and things that are true for a long time: We live quite near. Repeated action: We come here every week. In phrases like I promise, I agree. In negative question with why: Why don’t you go out.

73 Present Continuous Form
Sarah’s train is late, so she is phoning Mark Mark? I’m at the station. I’m waiting for the train. Oh I can hear it. It’s coming now. The bold words are the verbs in present continuous tense. Form Positive Form I am looking. You/we/they are looking. He/she it is looking. Negative Form I am not looking. You/we/they are not looking. He/she/it is not looking. Question Form Am I looking? Are you/we/they looking? Is he/she/it looking?

74 Use We use present continuous to say that:
We are in the middle of an action. Example: I’m waiting for the train.[I’m at the station now.] I’m getting the lunch ready.[ I’m in the kitchen now.] We are in the middle of something but not actually doing it at the moment of speaking. Example: I must get back top the office. We’re working on a new project. I’m quite busy these days. I am doing a course at college. Things are changing over a period of time. Example: The number of cars on the roads is increasing. The earth is getting warmer. Something happen in future.

75 Exercise: Complete the conversation using present simple or present continuous.
1. A: Is Janet in please? B: Yes but………….(I/think) she is busy at the moment……………(she/wash) her hair. A:………..(I/think) of buying a new computer B: But computers…………(cost) so much money. What’s wrong with the one we’ve got? A:………..(it/get) out of date now. 2. A: What……..(you/do)? B: ……….(I/weigh) this letter………..(I/need)to know how many stamps to put on it. 3.A: ………(I/think) this road is really dangerous. Look how fast that lorry……….(go). B:………(I/agree).People shouldn’t go so fast. 4.A: ……..(I/always/fall) asleep. I just can’t keep awake. B: What time……….(you/go) to bed? A: About ten o’clock usually. But………(it/ not/make)any difference.

76 3.2.3. Past Tense Verb Simple Past
Read the paragraph that is Joe’s description of how the accident happened: It all happened very quickly. The car came straight out of the side road. And the van went into the back of it. The van driver didn’t have a chance. It was the car driver’s fault. The bold words are the verbs in simple past tense. Positive Form A regular past form ends in –ed. It happened very quickly. I posted the letters yesterday.

77 Negative & Question Forms
Some verbs have irregular past form which is a completely different word: The car came out of the side road. Vicky rang earlier. The past simple is the same for all persons except for the verb be: I/he/she/it was ill. You/we/they were ill. Negative & Question Forms I/you/we/they/he/she/it did not stop. (didn’t stop) Did I/you/we/they/he/she/it stop? I/he/she/it was not sad. (wasn’t) You/we/they were not sad.(weren’t) Was I/he/she/it sad? Were you/we/they sad?

78 Use: We use past simple for something that happened in the past and finished: Example: Emma passed her exam last year. We went to the theater on Friday. Elvis Presley died in I knew what the problem was.

79 Past Continuous Form Read what Jane says to Emma:
I had a wonderful dream last night. I was sitting in park. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Children were playing and laughing. I was very peaceful. I didn’t want to wake up. Form I/he/she/it was playing soccer. You/ we/they were playing soccer. I/he/she/it was not playing soccer.(wasn’t playing) You/we/they were not playing soccer. (weren’t playing) Was I/he/she/it playing soccer? Were you/ we/ they playing soccer?

80 Use Read the conversation:
Melanie: I rang at about 3 yesterday afternoon. Bit you weren’t in. I didn’t know where you were. David: Oh I was helping Mike. We were repairing his car. It took ages. We were working on it all afternoon. Melanie: It was raining. I hope you weren’t doing it outside. David: No we were in the garage. So I didn’t get wet. But I’m afraid I got oil all over my trousers. Melanie: Why were you wearing your new trousers to repair a car? David: I don’t know I forgot I had them on.

81 It was raining at three o’clock means that at three o’clock we were in the middle of the rain. The rain began before three and stopped some time after three. We were working all afternoon means that The action went on for the whole period. David is stressing the length of time that the work went on.

82 Now look at the following example:
You drove right past me when I was waiting for the bus. In this example you can see past continuous and past simple used together. We use this form when: a shorter action came in the middle of a longer action in the past. Longer action is used in past continuous and shorter action is used in simple past.

132 Request & Imperative Polite requests We can use can or could in a request, when we ask someone to do something. Can everyone be quiet for a minute, please? Can you keep me informed'? ~ Yes, of course. Could you lend me ten pounds until tomorrow? ~ Sorry, I haven't got ten pounds. Could is often more polite than can. In a request we can also use Do you mind ? or Would you mind...? with an ing-form. Do you mind waiting a moment? ~ No, I can wait. Would you mind sitting in the back? ~ No, not at all. We can also use Would you like to ...? Would you like to lay the table for me? ~ Yes, of course. We do not use Do you like ...?

133 The imperative We can sometimes use the imperative form to tell someone what to do. Bring another chair. Hurry up or we'll be late. We form the negative with don't. Don't be silly. Don't make so much noise. We can use an imperative when we are with friends in an informal situation. But we do not use it to a stranger or in a more formal situation.

135 3.2.8. Passive Verbs Vs. Active Verb
Look at these two sentences. ACTIVE Bell invented the telephone. PASSIVE The telephone was invented by Bell. The two sentences have the same meaning, but they are about different things. One sentence is about Bell, and the other is about the telephone. Each sentence begins with the subject. The subject is the startingpoint of the sentence, the thing we are talking about. The new information about the subject comes at the end of the sentence. In English, all sentences are in either "active" or "passive" voice. In an active sentence, the person or thing responsible for the action in the sentence comes first. In a passive sentence, the person or thing acted on comes first, and the actor is added at the end, introduced with the preposition "by.“ A passive verb is a form of be + a passive participle, e.g. is baked, was worn. Some participles are irregular.

136 Summary of verb tense Tense Active Passive Present simple:
We bake the bread here. The bread is baked here. Present continuous: We are baking the bread. The bread is being baked. Present perfect: We have baked the bread. The bread has been baked. Past simple: We baked the bread yesterday The bread was baked yesterday. Past continuous: We were baking the bread. The bread was being baked. Past perfect: We had baked the bread. The bread had been baked.

137 The future and modal verbs in the passive
We use be + a passive participle after will, be going to, can, must, have to, should, etc. The gates will be dosed this evening. This rubbish should be thrown away. The machine has to be repaired. The news might be announced soon. Seats may not be reserved. How can the problem be solved? ACTIVE Future: We will bake the bread next. We are going to bake the bread. Modal verb: We should bake the bread soon. We ought to bake the bread. PASSIVE The bread will be baked next. The bread is going to be baked. The bread should be baked soon. The bread ought to be baked.

138 We sometimes use get in the passive instead of be.
The passive with get We sometimes use get in the passive instead of be. Lots of postmen get bitten by dogs. I'm always getting chosen for the worst jobs. Last week Laura got moved to another department. Get is informal. We often use it for something happening by accident or unexpectedly. In negatives and questions in the present simple and past simple, we use a form of do.

139 Exercise: Complete the information about Barford Hall
Exercise: Complete the information about Barford Hall. Put in the correct form of these verbs. ► build (past simple) 1 own (present simple) 2 use (past continuous) 3 buy (past simple) 4 not look (past perfect) 5 do (present perfect) 6 use (present simple) (►) The building at the end of the High Street is Barford Hall, which was built in Today the Hall (1)…………………………………. by Bardale Council.

141 Form Look at these examples You should have your car serviced regularly. Mark usually has his suits cleaned at Superclean We had the television repaired only last year, You've had your hair cut. Our neighbours are having a new garage built. Is Melanie having a new cooker installed? Note that we can use the perfect or the continuous (have had, are having). In negatives and questions in simple tenses, we use a form of do. Mark doesn't have his suits cleaned at Fastclean. We didn't have new windows put in because it was too expensive. Do you have your car serviced regularly? Where did you have your hair cut?

142 We can also use get something done.
We must have another key made. OR We must get another key made. The sentences have the same meaning, but get is more informal than have. Here are some more examples with get. Laura got her shoes repaired. We're getting the carpet cleaned. Where did you get your hair cut? Do you get your heating checked every year?

143 Verb+ Infinitive After some verbs we can use a to-infinitive, e.g. decided to have, arranged to play. Here are some more examples. / expect to get my money back. Sarah agreed to work late at the office. We cant afford to go to Australia. Are you hoping to get a job in London? Melanie has offered to help us when we move house. We can put not before the to-infinitive. Some people just choose not to get married. At least I managed not to lose my temper. With some other verbs we use an ing-form, not a to infinitive Mark has finished playing golf.

Seem and appear We can use a to-infinitive after seem and appear. Sarah seemed to be quite annoyed. The computer program appears to have a bug in it.

Do you mind waiting a moment? ~ No, that's OK. I wouldn't mind travelling around the world some time. Verbs with can't Note can't or couldn't with help, resist, face and stand.

She loves to look/loves looking down at the fields below. We always prefer to stay/prefer staying in small hotels. I hate to stand/hate standing up while I'm eating. But compare these two meanings of the verb like. LIKE TO DO Like takes a to-infinitive when it means that we prefer to do something even though we may not enjoy it. I like to check my work carefully before I hand it in. LIKE DOING Like usually takes an ing-form when we use it to talk about hobbies and interests. Claire likes skiing. I don't like swimming much,

153 3.2.12. Adjective+ Infinitive

It's lovely to see you. It's quite safe to use the ladder. It was silly to make such a fuss. The subject can also be a person. I'm delighted to see you. We're ready to start now.

We can also use it with these adjectives: cheap, convenient, dangerous, difficult, easy, expensive, impossible, safe, simple.

NOT We're used to get up early. Sarah is used to working late at the office. Most visitors to Britain aren't used to driving on the left. I wasn't used to wearing glasses.
