| GENERAL REVISION
I/ SPELLING
Nouns, verbs and adjectives can have the following endings :
Noun+ s/es (plural) | Books, ideas, matches | Verb+ s/es (after he, she, it) | Works, enjoys, washes | Verb+ ing | Working, enjoying, washing | Verb+ ed | Worked, enjoyed, washed | Adjective+ er (comparative) | Cheaper, quicker, brighter | Adjective+ est (superlative) | Cheapest, quickest, brightest | Adjective+ ly (adverb) | Cheaply, quickly, brightly | When we use these endings, there are sometimes changes in spelling:
The ending is (es) when the word ends in s, ss, sh, ch, x.
Example: bus/ buses miss/ misses wash/ washes match/ matches box/ boxes
- words
ending in (y) like baby, carry, easy:
if a word ends in a consonant + (by, ry, sy, vy, …):
(Y) changes to (ie) before the ending (s):
Baby/ babies story/ stories try/ tries country/ countries | (Y) changes to (i) before the ending (ed):
Hurry/ hurried study/studied apply/ applied | (Y) changes to (i) before the endings (er and est)
Easy/ easier, easiest lucky/ luckier, luckiest | (Y) changes to (i) before the ending (ly)
Easy/ easily heavy/ heavily |
- (Y)
does not change before (ing): hurriying tryinf
- (Y)
does not change if the word ends in a vowel + y (ay, ey, oy, uy)
An exception is : day/ daily, lay/ laid say/ said
Doubling consonants: Sometimes, a word ends in a vowel + a consonant like in:
Stop, plan, wet, thin, slip, prefer, regret
Before the endings (ing, ed, er, est), we double the consonant:
Stop_stopped, stopping; thin_ thinner, thinnest.
BUT we do not double (y) or (w) at the end of words: stay_stayed; grow_ growing.
II/SYLLABLE DIVISION/ SOME RULES
- one
syllable word is never divides: example: ill
- when
the word has a prefix, divide the word between the root and the prefix: eg: mis/use
- when
the word has a suffix, divide between the root and the suffix: fee/ly
- when
two consonants come between two vowels, the word is divided after the first consonant: of/ten
- when
a consonant comes between two vowels, the word is divided before the consonant: mu/sic
- when
two vowels come together and are pronounced separately, the word is divided between the two vowels: radi/o
- when
a vowel is sounded alone in a word, it forms a syllable: e/vent
III/ STRESS : a stressed syllable is part of a word that is pronounced longer and louder than the other parts.
- Most
of 2 syllabic words are stressed on the first syllable if it is not a prefix.
Example: open, winter precious
BUT : begin, forget, believe, resume, occur, alarm, result, again, perhaps, event, advice
- Most
of 3 syllabic words are stressed on the first syllable of the root:
Example: difficult, organise, sensitive
BUT: remember together professor
All words ending in ‘ion’ are stressed on the syllable before the last:
Example: division, examination, tradition, revolution, illusion
IV/ REPORTED SPEECH
1/ REPORTED STATEMENTS:
When the reporting verb is in the present, there is no change in tense:
“ I’m a teacher.” She says that she is a teacher. Here, we’ve used the present simple in both sentences because the reporting verb (say) is in the present.
BUT: When the reporting verb is in the past, there are always corresponding tenses to the ones used in the direct speech simply because we don’t report what happens but what happened.
Example:
“I am a teacher”. She said that she was a teacher.
Present simple | Past simple | Present continuous | Past continuous | Present perfect simple | Past perfect simple | Present perfect continuous | Past perfect continuous | Past simple | Past perfect | Past continuous | Past perfect continuous | Past perfect | Past perfect (no possible change) | Past perfect continuous | Past perfect continuous (no possible change) | Other verb forms also change:
will | Would | can | Could | must | Had to | shall | Should | may | Might | Time and place references:
now | then | today | That day | here | There | this | That | tomorrow | The following day, the next day, the day after | Next week | The following week, the next week, the week after | yesterday | The previous day, the day before | Last week | The previous week, the week before | A week ago | A week before | tonight | That night | Last Sunday | The previous Sunday, the Sunday before | 2/ REPORTED QUESTIONS
a) “WH” QUESTIONS:
After the reporting verb, we : first, rewrite the “wh” word
Second: rewrite the subject
Third: rewrite the verb in the corresponding tense if the reporting verb is in the past.
b) “YES/ NO” QUESTIONS:
After the reporting verb, we: first: write if or whether
Second: write the subject
Third: write the verb in the corresponding tense.
3/ REPORTED INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUESTS/ ORDERS
a) Affirmative commands: to + STEM
b) Negative commands: not to + STEM
V/ PASSIVE TENSES
- Present
Simple : is or are + past participle
Eg: Computers are shipped to many countries.
- Present
Continuous: is/are + being + past participle
The food is being prepared.
* Past Simple: was/ were + past participle
Eg: The package was delivered yesterday.
- Past
continuous : was/ were + being + past participle
Eg: The house was being painted when I arrived.
- Present
Perfect Simple : has/ have + been + past participle
Eg: Over 20 models have been produced.
- Past
Perfect Simple: had + been + past participle
Eg: We had been given visas for three months.
- Modals
(can, may…) modal + be + past participle
Eg: The computer can be used.
VI/ CONDIRIONAL SENTENCES
1/ IF CLAUSES
TYPE ONE: if + Present Simple, Future
Eg: If you don’t go to the doctor soon, the problem will get worse.
TYPE TWO: if + Past Simple, would + infinitive
Eg: If I had time, I would call him.
TYPE THREE: if + Past Perfect, would have + past participle
Eg: If I hadn’t called, I wouldn’t have known about the meeting.
2/ THE USE OF “UNLESS”
Unless + affirmative verb is similar to if + negative verb.
Eg: unless I hurry, I will miss the bus = If I don’t hurry, I will miss the bus.
VII/ PRONUNCIATION OF THE FINAL “s”
- The
final “s” is pronounced /s/ after: t, p, k, f, th( ث)

IX/ PLURAL

- nouns
ending in a consonant + y: y changes to (i) and add es (spy__spies)

X/ RELATIVE CLAUSES
WHO/ WHICH/ THAT: when subject of the relative clause, I cannot omit them.
Eg: We know a lot of people who live in London. Here, “ who” is subject and it can’t be omitted.
When these relative pronouns are object of the relative clause, they can be omitted.
Eg: The woman (who) I wanted to see was away on vacation. Here, “who” is object and it can be omitted.
WHOSE is used instead of his, her, their | |
