Greetings
Once you have been introduced to someone, the next time you see that person it is
important to greet them. Normally we familiar with "Hello", "How are you?", "How are
you doing?", "How have you been?". These sentences are informal manner to greet
when you meet your friends and buddies. As we greet when we arrive, we also greet
people as we leave people. This section will present you the ways to greet people in
formal and informal situations.
Greetings: Arriving
Formal Casual
Good morning / afternoon / evening. Hi / Hello
Hello (name), how are you? How are you?
How do you do? What's up? (very informal)
Good day Sir / Madam (very formal, traditional) How are you doing? (very informal)
It's important to note that the question "How are you?" or "What's up?" doesn't

Parts of Speech.
Learning about the parts of speech is the first step in grammar study just as learning the
letters of the alphabet is the first step to being able to read and write. From learning the
parts of speech we begin to understand the use or function of words and how words are
joined together to make meaningful communication. To understand what a part of
speech is, you must understand the idea of putting similar things together into groups or
categories.
The parts of speech are categories used to organize or classify words according to how
they are used. We use parts of speech as a way to make it easier to talk about language.
The 8 parts of speech that are used to describe English words are:
1. Noun
A noun is often defined as a word which names a person, place or thing.
It can be divided into;
a. Countable Nouns.
- Can be begun by a/an a girl, a box, a bicycle, an apple, an egg, an
hour.
- Can be ended by s/es lecturers, flags, boxes, glasses, and babies.
b. Uncountable Nouns Water, money, dust, air, gravel, oxygen
6. Preposition
Prepositions are a class of words that indicate relationships between nouns,
pronouns and other words in a sentence. Most often they come before a noun. They
never change their form, regardless of the case, gender etc. of the word they are
referring to.
Prepositions of Time:
Prepositions of Place:
Conjuctions ini digunakan untuk menggabungkan kata dengan kata yang lain,
menggabungkan phrase dengan phrase yang lain, atau kalimat dengan kalimat yang lain.
Yang dihubungkan oleh conjunction tipe ini harus merupakan element kalimat yang
sama, misalnya: subject+subject, Noun+Noun, sentence+sentence.
For example: and, but, or.
- He is handsome and rich
- She is lazy and ugly.
- He is ugly but rich
- He will choose the black one or the white one.
Conjunctions ini juga menggabungkan element-element kalimat seperti di atas. Bedanya adalah
selalu digunakan secara berpasangan.
both…and either…or
not only…but
also neither…nor
Contoh:
1. Both my sister and my brother can play the guitar.
2. He is not only handsome but also smart.
3. Either the students or the teacher is going to go to the museum tomorrow.
4. Neither John, Sussie nor I have a good studying habit.
are used to join a subordinate dependent clause to a main clause, for example:
8. Interjection
Interjection is a big name for a little word. Interjections are short exclamations like
Oh!, Um or Ah! They have no real grammatical value but we use them quite often,
usually more in speaking than in writing. When interjections are inserted into a
sentence, they have no grammatical connection to the sentence. An interjection is
sometimes followed by an exclamation mark (!) when written.
Interjection meaning example
ah expressing pleasure "Ah, that feels good."
Part 1 Directions: Using the key above, identify whether the underlined words
are nouns, adjectives, pronouns, conjunctions, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, or
interjections.
Every language has its unique. Every language has its both of difficult side and
easy side. English is inflectional language, namely the verb changes based on the time.
By doing so, the study of the verb in English becomes the main topic in a name called
grammar. In a simple way, English basic sentence pattern is divided into two namely
verbal sentence and nominal sentence.

Tenses
Most students have a same opinion about tenses, they opine that studying
grammar especially tenses is difficult and makes them confuse. The most reason is
because in studying grammar they find many rules that must be obeyed. Besides, in
grammar especially in tenses they also find many formulas to construct particular
sentence. “Now, how about you? Do you agree with them?” if you disagree, it’s good
because it means you have considered that grammar is easy otherwise if you agree with
them let’s break your mindset. If you have mindset that grammar is difficult so it will be
really difficult and you will never master it. Whatever opinion you have, however, you
cannot escape from grammar; it is in every sentence you read or write, speak or
hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a
language.
When we make sentences, just consider whether our sentences contain verb or not. If
the sentence using verb so the formula:
With most verbs, the third person singular form (He, She, It, Alvin,) is created simply by
adding -S. However, with some verbs, you need to add -ES or change the ending a little.
Here are the rules:
They (Mereka)
We (Kita/Kami) are
You (Kamu/Kalian)
I (Saya) am In the class.
He (Dia- Pria)
She (Dia-wanita Is
It (itu-selain orang)
Here are the examples for the positive, negative, and interrogative sentences:

2. Simple Past Tense
Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific
time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but
they do have one specific time in mind.
Examples:
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions
happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Examples:
If you have understood about simple present tense above you will easily understand
the others tense especially simple past tense. The difference are in …
c. Time signal – yesterday, three days ago, last week, last month, last year, and so
on.
Example:

Irregular Verbs
Each irregular verb takes a different form in the past tense—that’s what makes it
irregular. This section of the test will be divided into several parts to assess your ability
to identify the correct verb form in affirmative and negative sentences, as well as your
ability to construct/answer questions.

Telling Past Story
At The Zoo
One day a clown was visiting the zoo and attempted to earn some money by
making a street performance. He acted and mimed perfectly some animal acts. As soon
as he started to drive a crowd, a zoo keeper grabbed him and dragged him into his
office. The zoo keeper explained to the clown that the zoo's most popular gorilla had
died suddenly and the keeper was fear that attendance at the zoo would fall off. So he
offered the clown a job to dress up as the gorilla until the zoo could get another one.
The clown accepted this great opportunity.
So the next morning the clown put on the gorilla suit and entered the cage
before the crowd came. He felt that it was a great job. He could sleep all he wanted,
played and made fun of people and he drove bigger crowds than he ever did as a clown.
He pretended the gorilla successfully.
However, eventually the crowds were tired of him for just swinging on tires. He
began to notice that the people were paying more attention to the lion in the next cage.
Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he decided to make a spectacular
performance. He climbed to the top of his cage, crawled across a partition, and dangled
from the top to the lion's cage. Of course, this made the lion furious, but the crowd
people loved it.
At the end of the day the zoo keeper came and gave him a raise for being such a
good attraction. Well, this went on for some time, he kept taunting the lion, the
audience crowd grew a larger, and his salary kept going up. Then one terrible day
happened. When he was dangling over the furious lion, he slipped and fell into the lion
cage. The clown was really in big terrible situation. He was terrified.
Sooner the lion gathered itself and prepared to pounce. The clown was so
scared. He could do nothing and he began to run round and round the cage with the lion
close and closer behind. Finally, the lion could catch him. The clown started screaming
and yelling, "Help me, help me!", but the lion was quick and pounces. The clown soon
found himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and suddenly he heard a voice
from the lion’s mouth;"Shut up you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?”

Session 11
Simple Future
Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the
two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very
different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with
time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer
to a specific time in the future.
FORM Will
[will + verb]
Examples:
FORM Be Going To
Examples:
"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is
one the speaker offers to do for someone else. Often, we use "will" to respond to
someone else's complaint or request for help. We also use "will" when we request that
someone help us or volunteer to do something for us. Similarly, we use "will not" or
"won't" when we refuse to voluntarily do something.
Examples:
Examples:
"Be going to" expresses that something is a plan. It expresses the idea that a person
intends to do something in the future. It does not matter whether the plan is realistic or
not.
Examples:
Both "will" and "be going to" can express the idea of a general prediction about the
future. Predictions are guesses about what might happen in the future. In "prediction"
sentences, the subject usually has little control over the future and therefore USES 1-3
do not apply. In the following examples, there is no difference in meaning.
IMPORTANT
In the Simple Future, it is not always clear which USE the speaker has in mind. Often,
there is more than one way to interpret a sentence's meaning.
Like all future forms, the Simple Future cannot be used in clauses beginning with time
expressions such as: when, while, before, after, by the time, as soon as, if, unless, etc.
Instead of Simple Future, Simple Present is used.
Examples:
When you will arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Not Correct
When you arrive tonight, we will go out for dinner. Correct
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only,
never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
Session 12
Other helping verbs, called modal auxiliaries or modals, such as can, could, may, might,
must, ought to, shall, should, will, and would, do not change form for different subjects.
For instance, try substituting any of these modal auxiliaries for can with any of the
subjects listed below.
I
you (singular)
he
can write well.
we
you (plural)
they
There is also a separate section on the Modal Auxiliaries, which divides these verbs into
their various meanings of necessity, advice, ability, expectation, permission, possibility,
etc., and provides sample sentences in various tenses. See the section on Conditional
Verb Forms for help with the modal auxiliary would. The shades of meaning among
modal auxiliaries are multifarious and complex. Most English-as-a-Second-Language
textbooks will contain at least one chapter on their usage. For more advanced students,
A University Grammar of English, by Randolph Quirk and Sidney Greenbaum, contains an
excellent, extensive analysis of modal auxiliaries.
The analysis of Modal Auxiliaries is based on a similar analysis in The Scott, Foresman
Handbook for Writers by Maxine Hairston and John J. Ruszkiewicz. 4th ed. HarperCollins:
New York. 1996. The description of helping verbs on this page is based on The Little,
Brown Handbook by H. Ramsay Fowler and Jane E. Aaron, & Kay Limburg. 6th ed.
HarperCollins: New York. 1995. By permission of Addison-Wesley Educational
Publishers Inc. Examples in all cases are our own.
a profit in it.
In expressing ability, can and could frequently also imply willingness: Can you
help me with my homework?
Whether the auxiliary verb can can be used to express permission or not —
"Can I leave the room now?" ["I don't know if you can, but you may."] —
depends on the level of formality of your text or situation. As Theodore
Bernstein puts it in The Careful Writer, "a writer who is attentive to the
proprieties will preserve the traditional distinction: can for ability or power to
do something, may for permission to do it.
The question is at what level can you safely ignore the "proprieties." Merriam-
Webster's Dictionary, tenth edition, says the battle is over and can can be
used in virtually any situation to express or ask for permission. Most
authorities, however, recommend a stricter adherence to the distinction, at
least in formal situations.
Authority: The Careful Writer by Theodore Bernstein. The Free Press: New
York. 1998. p. 87.
Two of the more troublesome modal auxiliaries are may and might. When
used in the context of granting or seeking permission, might is the past tense
of may. Might is considerably more tentative than may.
Avoid confusing the sense of possibility in may with the implication of might,
that a hypothetical situation has not in fact occurred. For instance, let's say
there's been a helicopter crash at the airport. In his initial report, before all
the facts are gathered, a newscaster could say that the pilot "may have been
injured." After we discover that the pilot is in fact all right, the newscaster can
now say that the pilot "might have been injured" because it is a hypothetical
situation that has not occurred. Another example: a body had been identified
after much work by a detective. It was reported that "without this painstaking
work, the body may have remained unidentified." Since the body was, in fact,
identified, might is clearly called for.
In certain contexts, will and would are virtually interchangeable, but there are
differences. Notice that the contracted form 'll is very frequently used for will.
and prediction:
It can also express insistence (rather rare, and with a strong stress on the word
"would"):
My cocker spaniel would weigh a ton if I let her eat what she wants.
Uses of Used to
The auxiliary verb construction used to is used to express an action that took place in
the past, perhaps customarily, but now that action no longer customarily takes place:
The spelling of this verb is a problem for some people because the "-ed" ending quite
naturally disappears in speaking: "We yoostoo take long trips." But it ought not to
disappear in writing. There are exceptions, though. When the auxiliary is combined
with another auxiliary, did, the past tense is carried by the new auxiliary and the "-ed"
ending is dropped. This will often happen in the interrogative:
Used to can also be used to convey the sense of being accustomed to or familiar with
something:
The tire factory down the road really stinks, but we're used to it by now.
I like these old sneakers; I'm used to them.
Used to is best reserved for colloquial usage; it has no place in formal or academic text.
FORM
Examples:
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time
before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with
specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child,
when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present
Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several
times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to
associate Present Perfect with the following topics:
TOPIC 1 Experience
You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the
experience of..." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain
experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
Examples:
We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period
of time.
Examples:
TOPIC 3 Accomplishments
We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and
humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.
Examples:
We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not
happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to
happen.
Examples:
We also use the Present Perfect to talk about several different actions which have
occurred in the past at different times. Present Perfect suggests the process is not
complete and more actions are possible.
Examples:
Sometimes, we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. We can do
this with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so
far, up to now, etc.
Examples:
NOTICE
"Last year" and "in the last year" are very different in meaning. "Last year" means the
year before now, and it is considered a specific time which requires Simple Past. "In the
last year" means from 365 days ago until now. It is not considered a specific time, so it
requires Present Perfect.
Examples:
With Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the
Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until
Examples:
Although the above use of Present Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs
and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study"
are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only,
never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
Session 14
Active-passive voice
The passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the "to be verb"
with the past participle of the main verb.
to be + past participle
A sentence cast in the passive voice will not always include an agent of the action.
For instance if a gorilla crushes a tin can, we could say "The tin can was crushed by the
gorilla." But a perfectly good sentence would leave out the gorilla: "The tin can was
crushed." Also, when an active sentence with an indirect object is recast in the passive,
the indirect object can take on the role of subject in the passive sentence:
