6. GRAMMAR
Simple Present Tense with Adverb of Frequency
A. How do we make the Present Simple Tense?
+ auxiliary verb + main verb

do base
There are three important exceptions:
1. For positive sentences, we do not normally use the auxiliary.
2. For the 3rd person singular (he, she, it), we add s to the main verb
or es to the auxiliary.
3. For the verb to be, we do not use an auxiliary, even for questions and
negatives.
subject auxiliary verb main verb

+ I, you, we, they like coffee.
He, she, it likes coffee.
- I, you, we, they do not like coffee.
He, she, it does not like coffee.
? I, you, we, like coffee?
they
es he, she, it like coffee?

auxiliary:
subject main verb

+ I am French.
You, we, they are French.
He, she, it is French.
- I am not old.
You, we, they are not old.
He, she, it is not old.
? Am I late?
Are you, we, they late?
Is he, she, it late?
B. How do we use the Present Simple Tense?
We use the present simple tense when:
the action is general
the action happens all the time, or habitually, in the past, present and
future
the action is not only happening now
the statement is always true
John drives a taxi.

past present future

It is John’s job to drive a taxi. He does it every day. Past, present and
future.
Look at these examples:
The Moon goes round the Earth.
We do not work at night.
Do you play football?
Note that with the verb to be, we can also use the present simple tense for
situations that are not general. We can use the present simple tense to talk
about now.
Look at these examples of the verb “to be” in the present simple tense -
some of them are general, some of them are now:
Am I right?
Tara is not at home.
You are happy.
past present future
The situation is now.

I am not fat.
Why are you so beautiful?
Ram is tall.
past present future
The situation is general. Past, present and future.
Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of Frequency are Adverbs of Time that answer the question “How
frequently?” or “How often?”. They tell us how often something happens.
Here are some examples:
a. daily, weekly, yearly
b. often, sometimes, rarely
You probably see a difference between a) and b) above. With words like daily
we know exactly how often. The words in a) describe frequency. On
the other hand, words like often give us an idea about frequency but they
don’t tell us exactly. The words in b) describe frequency.
We separate them into two groups because they normally go in different

positions in the

sentence.
Examples:
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly
every second, once a minute, twice a year
once, twice, once or twice, three times
Most companies pay taxes yearly.
The manager checks the toilets every hour.
The directors meet weekly
frequency may go at the FRONT, for example:
Every day
Examples:
never, seldom, sometimes, often, always
100% always, constantly

usually, normally
frequently, regularly
often
50% sometimes
occasionally
rarely, infrequently
seldom
hardly ever
0% never

They go before the main verb (except the main verb “to be”):
We usually go shopping on Saturday.
I have often done that.
She is always late.
Occasionally, sometimes, often, frequently and usually can also go at the

beginning or end of a sentence:
Sometimes they come and stay with us.
I play tennis occasionally.
Rarely and seldom can also go at the end of a sentence (often with “very”):
We see them rarely.
John eats meat very seldom.

“Happy Birthday Grandfather”

My grandmother was turning 90 in two days’ time. The entire
family was getting ready to throw a big birthday celebration
for him. He was kept in the dark because we wanted to give
him a surprise. My mother had booked a little open space
near the sea as he used to be a professional diver when he
was young.
On the day of his birthday, we went to the resort a little earlier to decorate
the party area with streamers, balloons and a big ‘Happy Birthday’ banner. His
friends had all been secretly informed of the birthday party and had all agreed to
come. My grandmother, who was 85 years old, had also bought a surprise gift for
her beloved husband.
When my dad took my grandfather to the resort, he told him that they were
going to attend a special celebration. When he arrived at the party place, he was
pleasantly surprised to know that the celebration was actually for him.

Would is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use would mainly to:
talk about the past
talk about the future in the past
express the conditional mood
We also use would for other functions, such as:
expressing desire, polite requests and questions, opinion or hope,

wish and regret...
Structure of Would
subject auxiliary verb main verb
+ She would like tea.
‘d
- She would not like whisky.
wouldn’t
? Would she like coffee?
Notice that:
Would would or ‘d (short form).

The main verb is always

Be careful! Would and had have the same short form ‘d:
Use of Would
Would: Talking about the past

We often use would as a kind of past tense of will or going to:
I thought it would rain so I brought my umbrella.
Using would as as a kind of past tense of will or going to is common in

reported speech:
We often use would not to talk about past refusals:
We sometimes use would (rather like used to) when talking about habitual
past behaviour:
watch TV.
Sometimes she’d phone me in the middle of the night.

WOULD for Past Habit
would: Future in past

When talking about the past we can use would to express something that
has not happened at the time we are talking about:
In London she met the man that she would one day marry.
Would: Conditionals
We often use would to express the so-called second and third conditionals:
Using the same conditional structure, we often use would when giving
advice:
I wouldn’t eat that if I were you.
If I were in your place I’d refuse.
If you asked me I would say you should go.
Sometimes the condition is “understood” and there does not have to be an

“if” clause:
Although there is always a main verb, sometimes it is understood (not

stated) as in:

Would: Desire or inclination
Would you like some coffee?
What I’d really like is some tea.
Would: Polite requests and questions
ould: Opinion or hope

I would imagine that they’ll buy a new one.
I suppose some people would call it torture.
I would expect him to come.
Since you ask me I’d say the blue one is best.
Would: Wish
They don’t like me. I’m sure they wish I’d resign.
Note that all of these uses of would express some kind of distance or
remoteness:
remoteness in time (past time)
remoteness of possibility or probability
remoteness between speakers (formality, politeness)

Would: Presumption or expectation
That would be Jo calling. I’ll answer it.
Would: Uncertainty
Would: Derogatory
They would say that, wouldn’t they?
John said he didn’t steal the money. | Well, he would, wouldn’t he?
Would that: Regret (poetic/rare) - with clause

This rare, poetic or literary use of would does not have the normal structure:

One day Nasreddin went to town to buy

new clothes. First he tried on a pair of trousers.
He didn’t like the trousers, so he gave them back
to the shopkeeper. Then he tried a robe which
had the same price as the trousers. Nasreddin
was pleased with the robe, and he left the shop.
Before he climbed on his donkey to ride home,
the shopkeeper and the shop-assistant ran out.
“You didn’t pay for the robe!” said the shopkeeper.
“But I gave you the trousers in exchange
for the robe, didn’t I?” replied Nasreddin.
“Yes, but you didn’t pay for the
trousers, either!” said the shopkeeper.

1. PRONUNCIATION: How to Pronounce -ed in English
The past simple tense and past participle of all regular verbs end in -ed.
For example:
base verb (v1) past simple (v2) past participle (v3)
work worked worked
In addition, many adjectives are made from the past participle and so end
in -ed. For example:
I like painted furniture.

The question is: How do we pronounce the -ed?
The answer is: In 3 ways - / Id/ or / t/ or / d/
If the base verb ends in one example example

of these sounds: base verb*: with -ed:
pronounce extra
the -ed: syllable?
unvoiced /t/ want wanted
voiced /d/ end ended
/ Id/ yes
/ t/ no
/ d/

unvoiced /p/ hope hoped
/f/ laugh laughed
/s/ fax faxed
/S/ wash washed
/tS/ watch watched
/k/ like liked
voiced all other play played

sounds, allow allowed
for example...
beg begged
* note that it is the sound that is important, not the letter or spelling. For
example, “fax” ends in the letter “x” but the sound /s/; “like” ends in the letter
“e” but the sound /k/.
Exceptions
The following -ed words used as adjectives are pronounced with /Id/:
aged dogged ragged
blessed learned wicked
crooked naked wretched

So we say:
an aged man /Id/

a blessed nuisance /Id/
a dogged persistence /Id/
a learned professor - the professor, who was truly learned /Id/
a wretched beggar - the beggar was wretched /Id/
But when used as real verbs (past simple and past participle), the normal
rules apply and we say:
he aged quickly /d/

he blessed me /t/
they dogged him /d/
he has learned well /d/ or /t/

3. READING
Are Cell Phones Dangerous?
Is talking on a cell phone hazardous to your health? It is
users of mobile phones are at a greater risk of developing

brain tumors. However, many other studies suggest there
The main problem with the current research is that mobile phones have only
been popular since the 1990s. As a result, it is impossible to study the long
term exposure of cell phone use. This concerns many health professionals
who point out that many cancers take at least 10 years to develop. Another
concern about these studies is that many have been funded by those who
Many cancers take ten years to develop.
Over three billion people use cell phones on a daily basis, and many talk
for more than an hour a day. Cell phone antennas are similar to microwave
ovens. While both rely on electromagnetic radiation, the radio waves in cell
phones are lower in radio frequency (RF). Microwave ovens have enough
RF to cook food and are therefore known to be dangerous to human tissues.
However, the concern is that the lower frequency radio waves that cell phones
rely on may also be dangerous. It seems logical that holding a heat source
near your brain for a long period of time is a potential health hazard.
Cell phones get hot when they are used for a long period of time.
Some researchers believe that other types of wireless technology may also
be dangerous to human health, including laptops, cordless phones, and
gaming consoles. Organizations that are concerned about the effects of
Electromagnetic Radiation suggest replacing all cordless devices with wired
ones. They say that many cordless phones emit dangerous levels of EMR
even when they are not in use. They even suggest keeping electronic devices,
such as computers and alarm clocks out of bedrooms, or at least six feet from
your pillow.

Other wireless technology may also be hazardous to our health.
A growing number of health professionals worldwide are recommending that
conducted. They recommend that adults use head sets or speaker phones
and that children and teens, whose brain tissue are still developing, use cell
phones only for emergencies. Concerned medical experts use the example of
tobacco to illustrate the potential risks. Many years ago, people smoked freely
and were not concerned about the effects of cigarettes on their health. Today,
people know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, though it is still unknown
exactly how or why. Some doctors fear that the same thing will happen with
devices such as cell phones.

4. GRAMMAR The use of “Can and Could.”
“Can, Could”
Can and could are modal auxiliary verbs. Be able to is NOT an auxil-
iary verb (it uses the verb be as a main verb). We include be able to here for
convenience.
In this lesson we look at these three verbs, followed by a quiz to check
your understanding:
Can
Can is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use can to:
Structure of “Can”
subject + could + main verb

Notice that:
say:
Use of “Can”
CAN for Possibility and Ability

We use can to talk about what is possible, what we are able or free to do:
Normally, we use can for the present. But it is possible to use can when we
make present decisions about future ability.
A. Can you help me with my homework? (present)
CAN for Present Ability

can: Requests and Orders
We often use can in a question to ask somebody to do something. This is
not a real question - we do not really want to know if the person is able to
do something, we want them to do it! The use of can in this way is informal
(mainly between friends and family):
CAN for Permission

We sometimes use can to ask or give permission for something:

A. Can I smoke in this room?
(Note that we also use could, may, might for permission. The use of can for
permission is informal.)
CAN/COULD/MAY for Present Permission

“Could”
Could is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use could to:
Structure of Could
subject + could + main verb

Notice that:
Use of Could
could: Past Possibility or Ability
We use could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were
able or free to do:
door.)
But when we talk about one special occasion in the past, we use be able to

COULD for Past Ability
could: Requests
We often use could in a question to ask somebody to do something. The
use of could in this way is fairly polite (formal):
Exercise 1: Expressing ability: CAN and CAN’T.
1. A cat can climb trees, but it can’t
3. A dog ____________ bark, but it _____________ sing.

4. A tiny baby ___________ cry, but it ___________ talk.
store it in a paper bag.

6. You ___________ drive from the Philippines to Australia, but you
___________ drive from Italy to Austria.
Exercise 2: Expressing Past ability: COULD or COULDN’T.
Example: A year ago I ………., but now I can.

A year ago I couldn’t speak well, but now I can.
1. When I was a baby, I ……………, but now I can.
2. When I was a child, I ……………., but now I can’t.
3. When I was thirteen, I ………..…., but I couldn’t do that when I was three.
4. Five years ago, I ………………, but now I can’t.

more powerful executives who consider themselves too busy to get
together at any other time.
Restaurants-particularly the ones at large hotels in large cities-go

2. What’s the strangest thing you have eaten? What did it taste like?
3. Have you heard of any people who eat strange things? What do they eat?
Mr. Eat Everything

For most people, a “TV dinner” means eating dinner while watching TV. But
not for Michel Lolito of France. He eats TVs for dinner! Michel is very unusual. He
can eat almost anything. That’s why he is called “Mr. Eat Everything”.
When Michel was nine, he started eating small pieces of metal and glass.
Then he started eating bigger things. He has eaten eighteen TVs. He has also
eaten eighteen bicycles, two beds and a computer. He once even ate a small
airplane! “That’s the biggest thing I’ve eaten,’ he says.
For most people, eating glass and metal is very dangerous. How can Michel
eat these things? Dr. Bernard Morzol has known Michel for a long time. He says
that Michel has a very unusual stomach. It is very strong. He can eat glass and
metal without any problems. Before Michel eats something, he cuts it into very
small pieces. It takes him a few days to eat something big. He can eat 900 grams
of metal each day.
Michel now travels all over the world. He likes showing people what he can
do. People are amazed when they see him eating unusual things. But Michel
doesn’t only eat unusual things. “I also like eating food,” he says!

7. PRONUNCIATION: “Word Stress in English”
Word stress is your magic key to understanding spoken English. Native speak-
ers of English use word stress naturally. Word stress is so natural for them
to native speakers without using word stress, encounter two problems:

speaking fast.
In this lesson we look at the most important aspects of word stress, followed
by a short quiz to check your understanding:
Understanding Syllables
- To understand word stress, it helps to understand syllables.
- Every word is made from syllables.
- Each word has one, two, three or more syllables.
Notice that (with a few rare exceptions) every syllable contains at least one
vowel (a, e, i, o or u) or vowel sound.
What is Word Stress?
In English, we do not say each syllable with the same force or strength. In
one word, we accentuate ONE syllable. We say one syllable very loudly (big,
strong, important) and all the other syllables very quietly.
sound the same when spoken? No. Because we accentuate (stress) ONE
syllable in each word. And it is not always the same syllable. So the shape of
each word is different.

This happens in ALL words with 2 or more syllables: TEACHer, JaPAN,
etCETera, etCETera
The syllables that are not stressed are weak or small or quiet. Native
-
lables. If you use word stress in your speech, you will instantly and automati-
cally improve your pronunciation and your comprehension.
Try to hear the stress in individual words each time you listen to English - on
After that, you can USE it!
There are two very important rules about word stress:

1. One word, one stress. (One word cannot have two stresses. So if you hear
two stresses, you have heard two words, not one word.)
2. The stress is always on a vowel.
Why is Word Stress Important?

Word stress is not used in all languages. Some languages, Japanese or
French for example, pronounce each syllable with eq-ual em-pha-sis.
Other languages, English for example, use word stress.
Word stress is not an optional extra that you can add to the English
language if you want. It is part of the language! English speakers use word
for example, you do not hear a word clearly, you can still understand the word
because of the position of the stress.
Think again about the two words photograph and photographer. Now
imagine that you are speaking to somebody by telephone over a very bad
one of these words, photo... Which word is it, photograph or photographer?

Of course, with word stress you will know immediately which word it is be-
cause in reality you will hear either PHOto... or phoTO... So without hear-
ing the whole word, you probably know what the word is (PHOto...graph or

conversation to help you.)
This is a simple example of how word stress helps us understand Eng-
lish. There are many, many other examples, because we use word stress all
the time, without thinking about it.
Where do I Put Word Stress?
There are some rules about which syllable to stress. But...the rules are rather
complicated! Probably the best way to learn is from experience. Listen care-
-
guage.
When you learn a new word, you should also learn its stress pattern. If
you keep a vocabulary book, make a note to show which syllable is stressed.
If you do not know, you can look in a dictionary. All dictionaries give the pho-
netic spelling of a word. This is where they show which syllable is stressed,
(The notes at the front of the dictionary will explain the system used.) Look at
(and listen to) this example for the word plastic. There are 2 syllables. Syllable
#1 is stressed.
Rules of Word Stress in English

There are two very simple rules about word stress:
1. One word has only one stress. (One word cannot have two stresses. If
you hear two stresses, you hear two words. Two stresses cannot be one
a secondary stress is much smaller than the main [primary] stress, and is
only used in long words.)
2. We can only stress vowels, not consonants.
Here are some more, rather complicated, rules that can help you under
stand where to put the stress. But do not rely on them too much, because
guage and to add the stress naturally.

2. Stress on last syllable
There are many two-syllable words in English whose meaning and class
change with a change in stress. The word present, for example is a two-
(opposite of absent). But if we stress the second syllable, it becomes a verb

(to offer). More examples: the words export, import, contract and object
second syllable.
3 Stress on penultimate syllable (penultimate = second from end)
For a few words, native English speakers don’t always “agree” on where to
put the stress. For example, some people say teleVIsion and others say
TELevision. Another example is:CONtroversy and conTROversy.
4 Stress on ante-penultimate syllable (ante-penultimate = third from end)

5. Compound words (words with two parts)
Exercise: Word Stress Quiz

Circle to the right syllable of the word stress.
1. Can you pass me a …………… (PLAS/TIC) knife?
2. I want to take a ……………..(PHO/TO/GRA/PHY) class.
3. ……………… (CHI/NA) is the place where I was born.
4. Please turn off the …………………. (TEL/E/VI/SION) before you go out.

ENGLISH SONG
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

SUNG BY: WHITNEY HOUSTON
If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.
And I will always love you.

I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.
Bittersweet memories
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye. Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

I hope life treats you kind

And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

I, I will always love you.
You, darling, I love you.

Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert. They were called the Muppets. The TV
show “Sesame Street” started in 1969. It used the Muppets to teach and en-

Jim Henson’s “The Muppet Show” was shown around the world and became
one of the most widely watched TV programs. Beginning in 1979, the Mup-
pets have appeared in seven movies.
