Intermediate 1 – Extra Practice – Chapter 1

Agreement and Disagreement

To agree with statements, there are three main things to consider: 1) If the original statement is affirmative, respond with “so.” If the original statement is negative, respond with “neither.” 2) If the auxiliary or main verb is a BE verb, respond with a BE verb. If the auxiliary verb is CAN, respond with CAN. If the verb does not have a specific auxiliary verb and is not a BE verb, respond with a DO verb. 3) Make sure the verb you respond with matches the tense of the original—past, present or future. Example: A: I like hiking. B: So do I. The original statement is affirmative = so. The main verb does not have an explicitly stated auxiliary and is not a BE verb = DO auxiliary. The original statement is in the present tense = do. To disagree with a statement, simply take the opposite of the auxiliary verb. Example: A: I am going to go hiking. B: I'm not. Since a BE verb is the auxiliary in the original statement, simply negate the BE verb in order to disagree.

The Present Perfect

The present perfect = HAVE / HAS (aux) + the past participle. I’ve been to Italy I have never eaten sushi **Note: The have or has in the present perfect is an auxiliary verb. In this context, it is NOT have of tener. Let's compare the present perfect to the simple past:

Greenland's name makes people think that it is green, but most of Greenland is covered in ice. How did it get its name? Well, a man was sent to the island as a punishment for a crime. He had to live there, but he wanted other people to join him, so he named it Greenland. He hoped the name would get people to move there! Despite the size of the island and the several smaller islands nearby, most of the population lives in small areas on the coast, where there is no ice. Most of the people of Greenland are fishermen, but there are also a large number of scientists who visit to study the different aspects of the cold weather.

Adverbial Clauses

A clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb. There are two types of clauses. An independent clause can stand alone and form a sentence by itself. A dependent clause cannot form a sentence by itself. A dependent clause must be accompanied by an independent clause. Adverbial clauses work like adverbs, describing the time, place or manner of the verb. 1) If the dependent adverbial clause is in the simple present tense, the independent clause is in the present or future tense. Examples: When a bride gets married, she usually wears a white dress. (both clauses are in the simple present) After the wedding ceremony finishes, we are going to go to a party. (In the example above, the subordinate clause is in the simple present tense, and the main clause is in the future.) 2) If the dependent clause is in the past tense, the independent clause must also be in the past tense. Example: Before the wedding started, we got ready. (both clauses are in the simple past) **Note: When both clauses of a sentence are in the simple present, the sentence is stating a general fact or repeated action. When the independent clause is in the past or future, it references a specific event that occurred or will occur.

Relative Clauses

Remember that a clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. We can use clauses to describe people and things. For example, I can combine the following two clauses: She is a student + She works hard = She is a student who works hard. Clauses that describe nouns are relative clauses. In the example above, who works hard is a relative clause. **Use who, that, and which to introduce a relative clause. Use who / that to introduce relative clauses that describe people. Example: She is someone who I can trust. I'm chatting with a girl that lives in Mexico. Use which / that to introduce relative clauses that describe things. Example: People like movies which make them feel good. He likes music that is relaxing.

1. Circle the correct relative pronoun:

1. He is someone who / which never listens.

The Past Continuous

We use the past continuous to describe an action that was ongoing at a specific time. The past continuous does not express that the action was completed, but rather that the action was occurring during a specific point in time. The past continuous = the past form of BE + VERB + ing Example: At 12:00, I was eating lunch. (This example does not mean I finished lunch at 12:00. It means that I started before 12:00 and was continuing to eat at that time.) When an action interrupts another action that was ongoing in the past, we use the past simple to describe the interrupting action and the past continuous to describe the ongoing action. Examples: I broke my foot when I was playing soccer. When she was jogging, she bruised her leg.

You can usually find her there every time one of her three sons has an accident. And believe me, they have had many accidents. Her oldest son is Tyler. He's ten years old. Once, while Tyler was riding his bicycle, he fell off and broke his arm. Veronica drove him to the hospital. Her second son is Collin. He's eight. He was playing soccer when he ran into another player and sprained his ankle. Veronica drove him to the hospital. Her third son is Charlie. He's six. Charlie fell down the stairs and cut his head. Again, Veronica drove to the hospital. She asks her sons to be more careful and pay attention, but they are very energetic. She worries that they will hurt themselves. They run around the house, and she's afraid that one of them will crash into something and get a black eye. She's also afraid that one of them will trip over something and hurt his legs, arms, or head. The only time Veronica rests is when the boys are sleeping. Sometimes she wishes that she had daughters instead of sons! Not very energetic daughters, of course.

Modals of Possibility – must, might, may, could, and can

Modals of possibility express that something is definitely true, possibly true, or definitely not true.

100 % sure it's true → must

Not sure that it's true, but it's possible → might, may, could

Completely or very sure it's not true → could not, cannot, must not

**We always use the modals must, might, may, could, and can with the base form of the verb. Examples: People are running and shouting. There must be an emergency. (I'm sure there is an emergency.) It's raining a lot. The river might flood. (It's possible the river will flood, but I'm not sure.) She looks really stressed. She may have an exam tomorrow. (It's possible she's stressed about the exam.) He must not be well. He is in the hospital. (It's impossible that he be well.) **When using modals of possibility with “there” + BE, the modal goes in between “there” and the BE verb Examples: There might be a tsunami this summer. There must be a reason he is upset.

1. Fill in the blank with a modal. Use must, might, may, could, couldn't, can't, mustn't.

The 1st conditional: If clauses + modal clause

To express that something will or might happen in the future if another thing also happens, use an if clause + a modal clause. The if clause will be in the simple present tense. Remember that modals, such as will, may, might, and could combine with the base tense of the main verb. (To review modals of possibility, check Chapter 10.) Examples: If it rains tomorrow, the game will be cancelled. If there is a strike tomorrow, we won't have class. If you go to Bolivia, it might be cold. **The if clause and the modal clause can be reversed in order. Examples: You may get a very bad grade if you don't study. She'll go to Canada if she gets a visa. **To ask questions, change the order of the modal with the subject pronoun. There is no change to the if clause. Examples: If it rains, will you still go to the party? – Yes, I will. What will you do if you travel to Korea? – I'll visit Namsan Tower in Seoul. I also might go to the beach in Busan.
