subject pronouns vs. possessive adjectives

The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. Subject pronouns
are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb. A subject pronoun is followed by the main
verb of the sentence, a modal verb or an auxiliary verb.
e.g.
I am a good cook.
I don’t like cooking.
I can cook well.

We use possessive adjectives to show who owns something.They are followed by nouns.
e.g.
My car is broken.
Her father hates dogs.
Sample

spelling and pronunciation

a. spelling

spelling: writing a word using letters or saying the letters of a word one by one

We need letters to spell or write a word. In the English alphabet, there are 26 letters: 5 vowels and 21
consonants.We can write these letters in both small and large forms.
Large letters are called upper case, or capital letters, such as A, F,T,W.
Small letters are called lower case letters, such as a, f, t, w.

b. pronunciation
pronunciation: the way a word sounds
You can see the English alphabet letters with their phonetic symbols (in brackets) and an example word
for each letter below.You can also learn how they sound when you listen to the recording.

present simple tense: affirmative form

• daily routines and repeated actions: I go to bed late every night.
• general facts and permanent situations: Ken comes from the US.
affirmative sentences
UnitSample 7
I / You / We / They walk in the park every night.
He / She / It walks in the park every night.

In affirmative sentences, we add the suffix –s to the main verb when the subject is he, she or it. The
suffix -s is also used as -es or -ies with some verbs.
e.g.
She walks every day.
She watches T.V. every day.
She carries that bag every day.

Adverbs of frequency
With the present simple, we often use adverbs of frequency to say ‘how often’ we do something.These
adverbs are used just before the main verb in the sentence.
e.g.
We often go for a picnic in spring.
I don’t usually have breakfast.

The words below are also used to show frequency.
every day / week / morning / year / etc.
once = one time
twice = two times
three times, four times, etc.
e.g
How often do you drink tea?
I drink tea three times a day / I often drink tea / I drink tea every day.

A Use the correct form of the verb to be to complete the sentences.

1 We _________ in a nice garden right now.

‘have’ or ‘have got’ Unit 8

When we talk about possessions and relationships, we can use both ‘have’ and ‘have got.’ ‘Have got’
and ‘have’ mean the same. However,‘have got’ is more informal and generally used in British English. In
American English, it is common to use the main verb ‘have.’ Also, they have differences in negative and
question structures.
e.g.
I have a new motorbike. (AmE) = I have got a new motorbike. (BrE)
She doesn’t have two sisters. (AmE) = She hasn’t got two sisters. (BrE)
Sample
affirmative form have a new car.
(AmE) has a new car.

I / You / We / They have got

present simple tense: negative and question forms
negative sentences
UnitSample 9
I / You / We / They do not (don’t) walk in the park every night.

He / She / It does not (doesn’t) walk in the park every night

We add the negation word ‘not’ after do / does to make a negative sentence. In negative sentences, we
always use the bare form (no suffix) with all the subjects. (we don’t add the suffix –s)
e.g.
I don’t watch T.V. every day.
She doesn’t work every day.
They don’t clean the house every day.
questions and short answers

Do I / you / we / they walk Yes, I / you / we / they do.
Does in the park every night?
he / she / it walk
No, I / you / we / they don’t.

Yes, she / he / it does.
in the park every night?

No, she / he / it doesn’t.

In questions, the sentence starts with:
do before I / you / we / they; does before he / she / it.

As it works in negative sentences, we always use the bare form (no suffix) with all the subjects in
questions. (we don’t add the suffix –s)

We sometimes use question words at the beginning of a question.
e.g.
When do you go to work?
Where does he live?

Circle the correct answer for the sentences below.
1 Daniel flies / fly to London once a year.
2 She never doesn’t do / does her housework.
3 Lisa always try / tries to help her mother.
4 Mark goes / go home at six p.m.
5 Their baby girl doesn’t cry / cry every night.
6 He miss / misses her a lot when she is away.
7 Joe work / works really hard.
8 Their son doesn’t live / don’t live in the city.
9 Joana buy / buys new shoes all the time.
10 Tim doesn’t watch / watch this T.V. show every night.

relationships, senses and states of being.We usually do not use state verbs with continuous verb forms:
