GRAMMAR

Simple Present Tense indicates an action which happens in the present, but it isn’t
necessary for actions to happen right now. Simple present tense indicates, unchanging
situations, general truths, scientific facts, habits, fixed arrangements and frequently
occurring events.

THE STRUCTURES OF SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE

POSITIVE FORMS (+) :
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without TO). In
general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they cook / play at home

he / she / it cooks / plays at home

Examples of POSITIVE
• Mr. Green works with my uncle
• She reads the newspaper every day
• You work at the library
• They play with my dog

NEGATIVE FORMS (-):
The following is the word order to construct a basic negative sentence in
English in the Present Tense using Don't or Doesn't.

Subject don't/doesn't Verb* The Rest of the

sentence
I / you / we / they don't have / buy cereal for breakfast
he / she / it doesn't eat / like
etc.

Examples of Negative Sentences with Don't and Doesn't:

• He doesn’t play tennis.

• She doesn't like fish.
• I don’t understand the question.
• They don’t speak Spanish.
• They don't want to go to the party.

https://wordwall.net/es/resource/6268685/presente-simple-negacion/simple-present-
negative

QUESTION FORMS (?) :

The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or
Does.

Do/Does Subject Verb* The Rest of the sentence

Do I / you / we / they have / need a new bike?

Does he / she / it want etc.

*Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The
infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To have it is
just the have part.

Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed)

and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go, to live, to speak
etc.

7
Examples of Questions with Do and Does:

• Does she sing opera?

• Do you eat Chinese food?
• Do they walk every day together?
• Does she work for your father?
• Does he like your new car?

Short Answers with Do and Does

In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct

questions as follows:

 NOTE:
We form the present tense using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
In general, in the third person we add 'S' in the third person.

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they speak / learn English at home

speaks /
he / she / it learns English at home
The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person.

go – goes catch – catches wash – washes kiss – kisses fix – fixes

For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES.

marry – marries study – studies carry – carries worry – worries

NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S.

play – plays
Enjoy – enjoys

https://wordwall.net/es/resource/28490990/english/spelling-rules-simple-present

ATTENTION

NOTES:
We use other question words like (Who, What, Why , How much / many,
How often etc.) in present tense.
1) Question Words (who, what, why, how much / many, how often etc.) + do /
does + subject pronoun (he, she, it, I, you, we, they) + V1 ( First Form of Verb )
Examples:
How often does he call you?
Why do you always do this?
How much does it cost?
2) Question Words (who, what, why, etc.) + V1 / V (-s,-es,-ies) + object pronouns
( me, you, him, her, it, us, them)

Examples:

What makes you angry?

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

Watch the video and make the following exercise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAHD0rqlj8I&t=7s

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my
homework.
He normally gets good marks in
exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

Subject + to be + adverb

They are never pleased to see

me.
She isn't usually bad
tempered.

16
When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the

adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be.

Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

She can sometimes beat me in a race.

I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
They might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.

READING

Going to work in the morning

My job is a long distance from my home, almost 50 miles away. I have to wake up early
every morning, as I’m always in a rush. There’s never enough time for a relaxed
breakfast. At exactly 6:00 AM, I get into my car and start the long drive.
I usually like driving on the highway more than in the city. During the morning rush hour,
though, it’s not very enjoyable. The heavy traffic is a little bit annoying. So I always
listen to my favorite classical music CD’s in the car – Chopin, Mozart, and Bach.That
cheers me up a lot.
The drive to work takes about one hour. Going back home in the evening after work
takes even longer, maybe around 70 minutes. Lately I’ve been thinking about trying to
take the train to work instead of driving. That way, I could still listen to my music with
headphones, and even read a novel at the same time.

28

What time does he wake up every morning?

a. After the morning rush hour

GRAMMAR
What rules do you have to keep in mind?
The verb to be is an irregular verb, as can be seen in its forms in the past simple (which

can be translated by: I was / was / was / was, you were / was / were / were, etc.).

Affirmative Negative Interrogative

I was I wasn’t Was I...?

You were You weren’t Were you…?

He / She / It was He / She / It wasn’t Was he / she / it…?

We were We weren’t Were we...?

You were You weren’t Were you...?

They were They weren’t Were they...?

This verb speaks of a state or a situation (for example, how you feel), and can be used

to describe things. When you use it in the past tense you need to make sure you use the

forms that we have shown you in the previous table, and not the infinitive "be".

For example:
Affirmative
There was a concert last night.
There were three parties last night.

Negative
There wasn’t a good teacher in my school.
There weren’t any chairs in the room.

Read the text and answer the questions.

This is My autobiography.
I am Stella. I was born in Quito, Ecuador. I am 23 years old. I studied
elementary school in a town near Quito. This was a public school. I remember
this school was great, it was small and all the children from the town went there
to study. There were not many students, so I met good friends there. When I
was 15, I moved to Mexico City and I studied in a public high school. This was
difficult. I did not know many people and everywhere was crowded and noisy.
It was difficult for me to adapt to. I remember people in my group were loud, but
now I know that is Mexican style. They were great to me and we went to parties
a lot. Then I decided to study the arts. I remember painting since I was a little
girl and everybody loves what I do.

When I was 15 I received my first kiss, it was a goodbye kiss because I was
moving to Mexico. German, a boy who studied with me didn’t want me to leave
Ecuador. He was very attentive and generous to me. I liked him very much but
I didn’t love him. People from Ecuador are nice and generous but we love our
freedom and, in my case, I take love pretty seriously. That’s whyI think I have
never fallen in love.

Write T (True) if the statement is correct, F (False) if it is wrong

Stella studies in private or public school TRUE

The school that studied Stella was numerous in student FALSE
When she turned 15 she moved to California FALSE
She studied arts and had her first kiss at age 15 FALSE

Martin had a terrible day yesterday. It was the day

of his vacation to Spain but it was a nightmare. He
left the house at 10 o'clock in the morning and
caught a taxi to the airport.

Martin went to the check-in with his luggage.

When the man who worked for the airline asked
for his passport, Martin became very upset.
Where was his passport? Martin realized he
didn't have his passport with him. What a disaster!

He jumped back into the taxi and told the driver to take him home. The driver drove
quickly and Martin arrived back at his house in twenty minutes.

He ran into the house and went into his bedroom. He found his passport on the
bedside table and left the house again. But the taxi wasn't there! Where was the
taxi!

Martin jumped up and down angrily. "I don't believe it. The taxi left!" he shouted.
He ran down the street and looked for another taxi.

After a few minutes, Martin found another taxi and told the driver to take him to the
airport as quickly as possible. The traffic on the roads was very bad and,
unfortunately, Martin's taxi arrived at the airport late. His plane left for Spain at
11.30 and Martin missed it. He was very sad and went to speak to the airline. They
promised to get him a seat on an evening flight and Martin went home on another
taxi to wait.

The Pyramids of Egypt

Why were the pyramids built?

The pyramids were built as a resting place and

to protect the Kings and queens of Egypt and
other important people. Around were 130
pyramids built, the biggest one was the Great
Pyramid of Giza. This was the tallest building in
the world for 3800 years until the Eiffel Tower
was built. It was built for the Pharaoh

Khufu and took 20 years to build it! They were built next to the River Nile, this was because
it was easier for the builders to move the large stones by boat and then they were pulled to
the building area. Scientists today are still not completely sure how the ancient Egyptians
moved the massive stones. Once a pyramid was finished it was covered with white stone
and gold was put on the top. In the bright Egyptian sunshine, the white and the gold would
have gleamed brightly.
The ancient Egyptian engineers planned the pyramids so that there were many rooms and
tunnels. It was thought that the pyramid rooms were for the pharaohs and all of their
valuables. The engineers knew that thieves would try to steal the gold and jewels, so they
made traps and false rooms. They put doors which opened onto a wall. But it didn’t stop the
thieves as many of the pyramids were robbed. Anyone who tried to steal from the pyramids
was immediately put to death.
The Egyptians believed that people would move on to another life, so they filled the pyramids
with many jewels, gold, and even food. They thought that the pharaoh wouldneed these
things in their next life. The body was cleaned and wrapped in bandages to protect it and put
it into a stone case. They also have many of their things buried with them and people drew
beautiful pictures on the walls which told the story of their lives. The ancient Egyptians used
a language called ‘Hieroglyphics’ which was a mixture of drawings and signs. So, we can
discover how these kings and queens lived.

Vocabulary
Match the words with the correct definition

 attraction  normal, traditional

 tomb  to preserve a dead body by wrapping it up
 customary  things that a person owns
 mummify  something that makes people want to visit
 possessions a location
 rob  to steal something from a place
 a structure where a dead person is buried

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the most structures inthe world. Although they
are popular tourist attractions today, the pyramids were originally built as tombs for
ancient Egyptian kings . At the time, itwas customary to mummify dead rulers and
bury them with their possessions. However, many pyramids have been robbed
throughout history ,and most are empty today. The first known pyramid was built
around 2600 B.C, for a king named Djoser. The largest and most famous Egyptian
pyramids – the Great Pyramids of Giza – were built between 2500 and 2400 B.C, and
there is still a lot of mystery surrounding their construction. It would have been very
difficult to build such massive structures without modern
technology . Historians believe that at least 20,000 workerswere needed to
complete the Great Pyramids.

BASIS OF OF CIVILIZATION
CIVILIZATION

He single, decisive factor that made it possible for humankind to settle in

Permanent communities was agriculture. A turning point in human history, the
invention of farming and the tremendous changes it brought about have been
called the agricultural revolution. After farming was developed in the Middle
East about 6500 bc, people living in tribes or family units did not have to be on
the move continually searching for food or herding their animals. Once people
could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable annual supply
of it, their lives changed completely.

Examples:

There are two ways to create a comparative adjective.

Adjectives with 1 syllable or adjectives with 2 syllables if the word ends in -y, then -er is
added to the end of the word.

Notes:

Adjectives ending in -y; change the -y to -i and add -er.

Adjectives that end with a consonant, vowel, consonant - the last

consonant is doubled and -er is added to the end of the adjective.

Examples

cold - colder early - earlier big - bigger

small - smaller happy – happier fat - fatter

tall - taller crazy - crazier hot - hotter

Adjectives with 3 more syllables, and words with 2 syllables that do not end in -y. The
word "more" or "less" is placed before the adjective.

Note: Adjectives that end in -e, only -r is added to end of the adjective.

Examples

honest - more honest expensive - more expensive

difficult - more difficult difficult - more difficult

modern - more modern comfortable - more comfortable

Read carefully: Mount Everest

The Highest Garbage Dump in the World?

Most people know that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in fact that many people do
not know: it has become one of the dirtiest mountains in the world.
Mount Everest is one of the toughest and most exciting mountains to climb on Earth. It is not
the coldest or the windiest place on Earth, but it comes close! These challenges make it
one of the most attractive mountains for serious climbers. More than 3500 climbers tried
to reach the top. Unfortunately, most of them have left equipment and trash on the
mountain.
Trash is now one of the biggest threats to the environment on Mount Everest. Local
organizations brought tons of trash down from the mountain. One of the most interesting
projects handed over more than a ton of tin cans, glass bottles, and old climbing tools to
artists in Nepal. The artists used the trash to create works of art. Then, they sold the art to
raise money for local charities.

Circle the correct word to complete each statement.

1. According to the reading, Mount Everest is very clean/dirty.

2. Climbing Mount Everest is very tough/easy to climb
3. Mount Everest is an unusual / an attractive mountain for serious climbers.

READING

Read the text and answer the questions.

Camping equipment
If you go camping and want to spend the night in a
tent, you will need certain items.
Today's tents are normally made of nylon, canvas or
other light material. They aren`t the most expensive at
the stores and they are the easiest to fold together and
carry around with you, especially if you are
backpacking. The material has to be waterproof and is
easy to put up.

If you want to sleep in a tent, you will need a sleeping bag. It protects you from the
outside cold and is warmer than a blanket. Sleeping bags come in different sizes,
colors, and shapes.
Sleeping on the ground isn`t the most comfortable way. Some campers have
foam pads or air mattresses, which they lie on and it is softer than the ground.
Clothing is an important aspect when you go on a camping holiday. Be sure to take
clothes with you that will protect you from the sun, rain, and insects. Take along
some lightweight trousers, comfortable shoes, and warm shirts or a jacket for cold
evenings. Always carry a raincoat or poncho with you. Hiking boots are good if you
walk a lot.
You will also need other everyday items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and
soap. Take along sunglasses, maps, and a compass or maybe even a GPS
device.
Campers should also have waterproof matches, extra batteries, a knife and a
lantern or torch with them.

 Biography

READING
Lionel Andrés Messi

Lionel Andrés Messi was born on

June 24, 1987, in the city of
Rosario, Argentina. Everyone knows
him now as the best football player in
the world. A lot of people say he
might become the greatest player
ever. We’ll see about that at the
World Cup. Messi is FIFA World
Player of the Year. He also helped his
club team Barcelona win the
European Champions League and
the World Club Championship.
Messi grew up playing football. He joined his first club when he was five. At the
age of eight, he signed up for the famous Newell's Old Boys' youth team. His
career nearly ended when doctors found out he suffered from a growth hormone
deficiency. Luckily, agents from Barcelona saw his talent and in 2000, he moved
to Spain. The Catalan club paid for his medical treatment and coached him until
he made his Barcelona debut.
Lionel started breaking records as soon as he played his first game for
Barcelona in the 2004--‐05 season. He became the youngest footballer ever to
play at La Liga game and the youngest to score a goal. He helped his team
win the league in his first season, and the league and Champions League
double in the following season. In the 2008--‐09 season, he scored an impressive
38 goals as Barcelona won the treble.
Messi has an amazing career ahead of him. He is set to shine in South Africa.
Many football experts compare him to the legendary Pele and Maradona. This
World Cup could be the stage for him to show people he is the best. His skills on
the ball, ability to get past defenders and his goal--‐scoring are breathtaking. Top
soccer coach Arsene Wenger said Messi is “like a PlayStation. He takes
advantage of every mistake teams to make”.

Read about Smith family and write true ,false or don´t say.

The family climbed out of the car and walked slowly into the restaurant. Dad was in a
very good mood because it was his 60th birthday that day. He used to hate celebrating
his birthday, but now that he’s older. He enjoys the attention. It was very hot that night,
possibly the hottest night of the year. They all chose to go to the fish and Seafood
restaurant in their village. It had air-conditioning so it wouldn’t be as hot as at home.

When they sat down the waiter came quickly to bring them the menus. He told
them about the specials that evening and gave them some time to decide what they
wanted to order. Mom ordered salmon, Luke ordered shrimp and Dad decided to have
something special lobster.

They started their meal with some nice salads and delicious, crispy bread with olive oil.
They were talking about the rest of their summer holidays. Then the main courses
arrived. They all smelled absolutely fantastic. Then suddenly Dad saw something
strange. The lobster on his plate was still moving its claws. He was shocked!

The waiter came over immediately and picked up the plate with the moving
lobster. He brought it back to the kitchen and came back to the table a few minutes later
with another plate of lobster. After apologizing he offered to give him the lobster for
free. Even though Dad was surprised by what had happened he ate his lobster hungrily
and was happy to get a free meal on his birthday.

GRAMMAR
OBJECT PRONOUNS

English Grammar Rules

The Object Pronoun – it

Be careful when using 'it' as an object pronoun because it is only in the correct context that it has meaning. It
needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you are referring to. Compare; You are
sitting on it! (The listener probably doesn't know what the speaker refers to).
The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It is obvious in the second sentence that the reference is to the
letter).
