ADVERBS
In English we can make adjectives into adverbs by adding ly. This is the general rule. Sometimes
we must do some changes in the adjectives before adding ly. This case follows the general rule, too.
But there are also some adjectives which do not need to add ly to change into adverbs, so they dont
follow the general rule. And there are also some cases where you can use other words like nouns or
verbs, for instance, to change them into adverbs by adding ly.
Now try to make adverbs from these adjectives in the lists below.
1. Write the adverb.
stupid
incredible
careful
bad
variable
beautiful
fast
dear
ready

Fast, hard, late, early, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly are adjectives and adverbs.
Hes got a fast car.
He drives fast. Its a hard work.
She works hard.
Its a weekly paper.
I buy it weekly. I got an early flight.
I went home early.
The bus was late.
Buses are running late today.
Hardly and lately have different meanings from hard and late.
Hardly = almost not
lately = recently, not long ago
He hardly works these days maybe one day a week.
Have you heard from John lately?
Well can be an adjective (the opposite of ill) or an adverb (the opposite of badly)
How are you? Very well, thank you.
The team are playing well.
Friendly, lonely, lovely, silly are adjectives, not adverbs.
She gave me a friendly smile. (BUT NOT She smiled friendly)
He was very lonely. (BUT NOT He walked lonely through the streets)
Her voice is lovely. (BUT NOT She sings lovely)
Dont be silly.
There are no adverbs friendlily, lovelily etc. Instead, we use other words or expressions.
She spoke in a friendly way.
She sings beautifully.

En ingls los adverbios de modo derivan en su gran mayora de adjetivos con el sufijo
-ly (quiet -quietly; slow slowly; quick quickly, bad- badly). A nivel sintctico este
tipo de adverbios dependen del predicado de la frase y suelen situarse despus del verbo
principal.
He drives quickly.
Existen tambin algunos adverbios de modo que no llevan la terminacin -ly (fast
(rpido); hard (duro)). En estos casos, la posicin junto al predicado de la frase nos
ayudar a distinguirlos de los adjetivos, que tienen una forma similar y que acompaan
a un nombre o al verbo TO BE:
He drives fast. vs. He is a fast driver.
He works hard. vs. This is a hard exercise.

(the morning is finished, im talking in the afternoon, evening)
The Past Simple talks about finished actions and time, so it is normal to use time adverbs or time
expressions of finished time:
I saw him yesterday / two days ago / at 9 oclock, last Sunday, etc.
I studied a lot last week / for the last exam / this weekend, etc.
The Present Perfect, on the one hand, tells us that the action is finished but not the period of time, and
on the other hand, it shows that neither the action nor the period of time are finished. So, the present
perfect doesnt usually have a time expression, or they are adverbs and time expressions referring to an
indefinite time, never adverbs or time expressions referring to a finished time:
Finished actions

news
Another bomb has exploded in the city of Gaza this morning.
The President, Mr Shields, has met the foreign ambassadors to discuss the deal.
A group of ten students have chosen the best four pictures at the Picasso exhibition.
B)
other common non-progressive verbs: agree, believe, depend, matter, mind, recognise, remember,
(Non-progressive verbs that can be progressive: think, see, live, look like, feel, wait, )
+ Finished actions
PAST SIMPLE. Form and use.
a. finished actions, no connection with the present
My father worked in a factory for ten years.
Pauls parents brought him a lot of presents from their trip.
I studied at university from 1992 to 1997.
We went to a restaurant with some old friends last Saturday.
b. with words for a finished time, like yesterday, in 1995, ago, then, when,
Our class visited the modern art museum last week.
I was at the primary school a long time ago.
I started learning English in 1999.
c. stories
A man walked into a caf and sat down at a table. The waiter asked him
Jane looked up at the sky and remembered the old days. Phil came to her mind
d. give or ask for details of news (time, place, etc)
The Spanish team have won the European Cup. The players celebrated their victory
Bill has had an accident. He fell off his bike yesterday while he was going to work.
The President has met the ambassadors. He received them in his office
Lisa and I have finally broken our engagement?
When did you break?
I have found this nice scarf at the new shopping centre. How much did you pay for it?
+ PRESENT PERFECT vs PAST SIMPLE: finished actions.
PRESENT PERFECT: WE THINK ABOUT THE PAST AND THE PRESENT TOGETHER.
finished action
present
information (yesterday) Ive phoned Paul about the exam, so he has time to prepare.
Paul knows now
mistake (last exam)
See, youve made a mistake. Pay more attention next time! Im showing you
new shirt (last week)
Look Ive bought this shirt for the wedding.
Do you like it?
PAST SIMPLE: WE THINK ONLY ABOUT THE PAST, NOT THE PRESENT.
I phoned Paul last Monday to tell him about the exam.
(Im thinking about last Monday)
I made a mistake in the exam, so I didnt pass it.
(Im talking about the day of the exam)
I bought a new shirt for the wedding last week.
(Im thinking only about last week)
**Read the sentences and the questions, and then circle the correct answer.
My father has bought a new computer. Has he got the computer now?
YES
Alice visited her family in the winter. Is Alice with her family now?
PROBABLY NOT
1 I made a cake for the party. Is there cake now?
YES / PROBABLY NOT
2 Sandy has made a chocolate cake. Is there a cake now?
YES / PROBABLY NOT
3 Grace went to London with some friends. Are they there now?
YES / DONT KNOW
4 The pupils have gone to an excursion. Are they at school now?
YES / NO / DONT KNOW
5 Jenny and Sue opened a shop together. Is the shop still open?
YES / DONT KNOW
Note and remember the difference between gone (to) and been (to) in the present perfect sentences.
Wheres John?
Hes gone to Paris
(Hes there now)
Marys gone swimming. Shell be back at 6.00.
Ive been to Italy lots of times (and come back) but Ive never been to Spain.
**Put in been or gone.
Wheres Anne? Shes shopping.
Peters shopping: the fridge is full.
Have you ever to China?
**Compare:
Note: in Spanish the adverbs ya and todava can take multiple positions in the sentence, but NOT
in English, where the adverbs yet and already have a fixed position which must not be altered.
The common position of yet is at the end of the sentence but, in the negative sentences it can be
used either at the end of the sentence or in the same position as already, just and never.
Look at these examples:
John hasnt done his homework yet.
The singers havent sung any song yet.
ACTIVITIES
1) Write these sentences in the Present Perfect Negative. Use yet in the final position.
1. Its nine oclock, but the shopkeeper (open) his shop.
2. I bought these books a week ago, but I (pay) for them.
3. Mary (wear) her new dress.
4. William has lost his watch, and he (find) it.
5. The farmers (sell) their cotton.
6. George is seventeen years old, but he (leave) school.
7. Sandra needs a dictionary, but she (buy) one.
8. The doctor is still in the hospital. He (go) home.
9. It is very early and the sun (rise).
10. We (finish) this lesson.
3) Write just, yet or already in the blanks and translate the dialogues into Spanish.
A: Have you written to John ...................... ?
B: Yes, Ive ...................... finished a letter for him. Well, I havent posted it ......................,
although Ive ...................... bought the stamps.
A: Hi, Jenny! Listen, Ive ...................... got a new dress for the party.
B: Thats good! I havent decided what to wear ...................... . I have ...................... tried
several models. By the way, have you bought all the food ...................... ?
A: Yes, Ive ...................... come back from the shops. Have you phoned Mark ...................... ?
B: Yes, Ive ...................... talked to him before phoning you.
We make the present prefect progressive with have been OR has been + ing:
We have been living here since November.
Johns been working in the bank for three months.
We use the present perfect progressive to say how long things have been continuing up to now.
Ive been learning English for five years.
Its been raining all day.
Have you been waiting long?
Weve been travelling for six hours now.
Activity 1: Make the present perfect progressive sentences. Use for and since (see section d) above).
John started learning Chinese in February. Now its July. (for)
It started raining on Sunday. Its still raining. (since)
Mary started painting the house on Monday. Now its Friday. (for)
We dont use the progressive with be, have (meaning posses), know and other non-progressive verbs*:
Ive been here since Tuesday.
NOT Ive been being here
How long have you had that car?
NOT How long have you been having?
Ive known her since 1999.
We prefer the present perfect for very long, unchanging situations. Compare:
Hes been standing outside for two hours.
The castle has stood on that hill for 900 years.
Activity 5: Circle the best answer. Both options are correct, but one is more usual.
1 Weve lived / been living in London since January. 2 Theyve lived / been living in London all their lives.
3 She has worked / been working here for 47 years.
4 Ive worked / been working here for two weeks.
* be, have, know, like, love, mean, need, prefer, seem, understand, want, agree, believe, remember,
(Non-progressive verbs that can be progressive: think, see, feel, look like)
1) PRESENT PERFECT: How much, How often, How long ..... up to now.
a) We can use the Present Perfect to say how much we have done up to now:
Ive read two books this month. (April 1st , 2nd, 3rd Ive read two books 18th, 19th, now)
Jane has written four letters since this morning.
The players have played ten matches this season.
b) We can use the Present Perfect to say how often things have happened up to now:
This film is fantastic! Ive seen it five times.
Melanie has been to Italy twice.
Your father has phoned many times.
c) We can use the Present Perfect to say or ask if things have or havent happened up to now. We often use
ever and never in these sentences:
Shes never written to me since she went to Scotland.
Ive never travelled out of Spain.
Have you ever eaten snails?
Has he ever driven a car?
Has your friend phoned?
We havent seen Andrew this week.
**Make present perfect sentences:
I / never / read / Shakespeare.
Peter / pay / for his lessons?
You / ever / write a poem?
How often / she / ask you for money?
Alex / phone / me six times this week.
Mary / not tell / me her new address.
We / not play / football this month.
d) We use the present perfect, not the present simple, to say how long something has continued up to now:
Ive been in this room since Monday. (NOT I am in this room since Monday)
Ive been in this class for three years. (NOT I am in this class for three years)
We can say how long with SINCE or FOR.
We use SINCE when we give the beginning of the time (for example since Monday)
We use FOR when we give the length of the time (for example for three years)
Ive known Sally since 1999, so Ive known her for eleven years.
Ive had this car since August, so Ive had it for four months
yesterday

1. Translate into English. Use the Present Perfect with just, yet and already.
Todava no he entendido el Presente Perfecto.
In English, we use this structure to say that we dont do the action, because some other person
does (or did) the action for us. Look at the examples:
I had my hair cut.
1. John is very practical: he likes doing things himself. Bill is not so practical: he has
things done by other people. Complete the sentences:
John cooks his meals himself. Bill has his meals cooked by his wife.
John checks his car himself. Bill .................................................................. at the garage.
John buys his own clothes. Bill ................................................................. by an assistant.
John cleans his house himself. Bill ................................................................... every day.
John does the gardening himself. Bill ......................................................... by a gardener.
John fixes his TV himself. Bill .............................................................. by a TV technician.
John decorates his house himself. Bill ......................................................... by a designer.
2. Write some sentences about the things you usually get done by other people. Think
about housework, cooking, etc...
3. Finish the sentences with the things you need other people to do for you.
If my car isnt running well, ...............(check)................. I have it checked at the garage.
If my watch isnt working,............(repair at the...)
If my trousers are dirty,...............(wash in the...)
If my room window is broken,......(fix by a...)
If my hair is getting too long,........(cut in the...)
If the lessons are difficult,............(explain again by...)
DEDUCTIONS:
MUST / CANT
You make deductions when you can guess something through observation or because you
think you have reasons or information enough to say so.
When you are sure that your deductions are real or true, you use MUST.
When you are sure that your deductions are impossible, you use CANT.
Look at these simple examples:
Jane has passed all her subjects. She must be very happy. (Im sure she is happy.)
Sandra has failed all her subjects. She cant be happy.
So remember:
must: when we are certain or sure that something is possible
You must study really hard, your marks are just great!
They must be dating, they spent so much time together.
cant: when we are certain or sure that something is impossible
She cant live in our block, weve never seen her.
Darren cant be British, hes got a strong foreign accent.

PHRASAL VERBS
1. Introduction
A phrasal verb is a verb + particle (usually an adverb or a preposition), for example:
come in, sit down, take off...
There are many phrasal verbs in English, but in this Unit you will learn only some of them.
Here are some of the particles (adverbs and/or prepositions) which are used in phrasal verbs:
about, across, after, along, around, away, back, behind, by, down, forward, in, into, off, on, out,
over, round, to, through, up.
2. Understanding phrasal verbs
Some phrasal verbs are easy to understand:
Tom asked Melanie to come in.
The man in front of me turned around and talked to me.
But many phrasal verbs are idiomatic. The phrasal verb has a special meaning:
Fortunately, our plans came off.
Why did you turn down such a good offer?
I cant make out it its a man or a woman over there.
(succeeded)
(refuse)
(see clearly)
OR
OR
OR
Melanie
I
Who
took
wrote
let
off
her coat.
down the number.
out
the cat?
go back = return
go on = continue
(*) Phrasal verbs often have many different meanings. Look carefully at the meanings of the phrasal
verb pick up. Which one of these meanings is the correct in this sentence:
If you come across some money on the pavement, pick it up. .................
(the sentence is on page 38 of you book, activity 6)
pick up ........... = ...................recover
learn
take
improve
(e.g. a patient)
(e.g. some grammar)
(from the floor)
(e.g. sales)

4
There you have a list of some of the most common phrasal verbs, you may find them in articles,
readings, conversations, and surely, in your school work.
AGREE WITH - estar de acuerdo
BE ABOUT TO - estar a punto de
BE BACK - regresar
BE OUT OF - quedarse sin
BE OVER - terminarse
BREAK DOWN - averiarse
CALL BACK - volver a llamar
CARRY ON - seguir. continuar
CARRY OUT - llevar a cabo
CLEAR UP - poner en orden
COME ACROSS encontrar por azar, dar con
COME BACK volver, regresar

CUT OFF - cortar, desconnectar
GET BACK - volver, regresar
GET IN(TO) - entrar
GET OFF - bajar (de un autobus, tren)
QUESTION TAGS
Question tags are short questions that can follow sentences, especially in SPOKEN ENGLISH.
We make question tags with auxiliary verbs (have, can, be, etc...) + pronoun (I, you, etc...).
We use question tags to ask if something is true, or to ask people to agree with us.
When the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative, and when the sentece is
negative, the question tag is not negative:
Negative tags are usually contracted, for example: ...isnt it? or ...cant he?
The negative tag for I am is arent I?
Compare:
Im late, arent I?
I am not late, am I?
When a sentence has an auxiliary verb or be, we use them in the question tag:
You would like some tea, wouldnt you?
When the sentence has an ordinary verb and there is no auxiliary verb, we use do / does / did
in the tag:
They went to Spain, didnt they?
In the next activities you have more sentences taken from real conversations.
Write the question tags, and have a look at the rules and examples for help.
Theyve...
We can use there as a subject in question tags too: Theres a letter for me, isnt there?
There werent any problems, were there?
There are two more lessons, .......................................
There was a phone call for me, ......................................
Theres a meeting this afternoon, .......................................
There hasnt been any snow this year, ....................................
Remember that question tags are common in SOPKEN ENGLISH, so it will be good for you to
pay attention to the following:
1 When a tag asks a real question, we say it with rising intonation, that is, the music of the
voice goes up
we?
she?
you?
2 When a tag only asks for agreement, we use a falling intonation, the voice goes down
Nice day, isnt it?
Bills a good swimmer, isnt
he?
she?
Now, go back to the sentences in the previous activities (2 and 3) and decide:
1) If the tag asks a real question (RQ) or asks for agreement (AG)
or falling
intonation.
used to
I used to play
You used to play
He /She/It used to play
We used to play
etc,,,
1. Make sentences about people hundreds of years ago. Begin the sentences like this:

be farmers...........................Most people used to be farmers.
have cars............................People didnt use to have cars.
travel on foot or on horses
go to school
learn to read
cook on wood fires
live very long
work very long hours
To talk about the present habits and situations, we use the simple present, NOT use to
e.g.: I play a lot of tennis. (but NOT I use to play tennis.)
2. Make sentences about past and present habits and situations.
John / rugby / tennis...........................John used to play rugby. Now he plays tennis.
Ann / study / German / French

4. Write some sentences about your past habits.
so do I / neither do I
When we want to say that A is or does the same as B, we can use this structre:
so + auxiliary verb + subject
Look at these examples and pay attention to the word order:
A: Im hungry.
B: So am I.
In these examples we only have to repeat the auxiliary verb in the sentences (m, has, can).
BUT when there is no auxiliary verb to repeat, (because we are using an ordinary verb) we use
do / does / did.
neither .
MODAL VERBS
Ability:
can / cant
could / couldnt
I can drive a car. (I know how to drive it)
I could type 300 words in a minute, but now I lack the practise. (I was able to do that, now I cant)

3 We can use object + infinitive (with to) after ask and tell.

4 We often leave out that, especially after common verbs like say, think.

somebody something. Say doesnt need a personal object: we say something (to somebody).

5) Hundreds of years ago, people believed
6 When we tell people what somebody said in the past, there is a time difference.

Because of these, tenses usually change as follows:
