FOREWORD

Praise our prayers to God Almighty for our grace and grace given health and
patience to us so that the writing of this basic English grammar book is
completed.

This book is structured with the aim of providing teaching English subjects for
students. This teaching material is designed so that students and teachers can use
it in the learning process. Learning materials and questions are developed with
the principles of the Communicative Approach to develop students' competencies
in language skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and to
increase vocabulary in English.

Learning activities are developed to make students individually, in pairs, and

small groups actively learn English through activities to understand and use
English to express ideas and feelings naturally.

5-2 PREPOSITIONS OF TIME

What is a preposition of time?

A preposition of time is a preposition that allows you to discuss a specific time period such as
a date on the calendar, one of the days of the week, or the actual time something takes place.
Prepositions of time are the same words as prepositions of place, however they are used in a
different way. You can easily distinguish these prepositions, as they always discuss times
rather than places.
 At – This preposition of time is used to discuss clock times, holidays and festivals,
and other very specific time frames including exceptions, such as “at night.”
 In – This preposition of time is used to discuss months, seasons, years, centuries,
general times of day, and longer periods of time such as “in the past.”
 On – This preposition of time is used to discuss certain days of the week or portions
of days of the week, specific dates, and special days such as “on New Year’s Day.”

Examples of Prepositions of Time.

There may only be three prepositions of time, but the ways in which you can use them are
almost endless. In the following examples, the prepositions of time have been italicized for
ease of identification.
 40

 My birthday falls in January.

 Birds often migrate in spring and autumn.
 My great-grandmother was born in 1906.
 Breakfast is a meal which is generally eaten in the morning.
 My parents grew up in the 1960s.
 My vacation ends on Monday.
 We’re going bowling on Friday night.
 My brother John was born on September 3rd.
 We always have a huge celebration on New Year’s Eve.

5.3 USING IT TO TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER

1.Talking about the weather – conversation starters

“Lovely day, isn’t it!”
“Bit nippy today.”
“What strange weather we’re having!”
“It doesn’t look like it’s going to stop raining today.”

2.Attitude to weather
Although British people like to complain about bad weather, they generally “put a
brave face on it”.
If someone complains about too much rain, you might hear:
“Never mind – it’s good for the garden.”
If someone complains that it’s too hot, you could hear:
“At least my tomatoes will be happy.”
If the conversation has been about general bad weather, perhaps someone will say:
“Well, I’ve heard it’s worse in the west. They’ve had terrible flooding.”

3.Predicting the weather

When we’re talking about the weather, we often make predictions. Remember to use a
range of forms – not just the “will” or “going to” form:
“I think it’ll clear up later.”
“It’s going to rain by the looks of it.”
“We’re in for frost tonight.”
“They’re expecting snow in the north.”
“I hear that showers are coming our way.”

4.Human attributes
We also attribute human features to the weather, almost as if the weather can decide what
to do:
“The sun’s trying to come out.”
“It’s been trying to rain all morning.”
“It’s finally decided to rain.”
 43

.I to you
5-11 Would Like Vs Like
 Take one of these books if you like.
 Take one of these books if you would like.
What is the difference in meaning ? And is it standard to say would like after if ? I think in
standard English after if we put only the verb not would + verb.

In the situation you describe, there is no difference or preferred way. However, if you were to
say
Would you like one of these books?
 52

That has a different meaning than

Do you like one of these books?
In the first example, there is an implication of receiving a book, like
Would you like to have one of these books?
However, in the second one, the context is more about the word like as in enjoy.
However, in the particular phrasing you give, there is, again, no difference. It could be
argued that would is implied in the first sentence. Although neither is preferred
(grammatically), you will most likely hear the first one more just because it's shorter.

EXERCISE 5-11 Would Like VsLike :

.I to have a new phone .

.I cats and dogs very much .2

.She watching TV .3

.I to eat a hamburger tonight .4

Expressing Future Time, Part 2

 95

A. MAY / MIGHT

May and Might When Expressing Possibilitypopular usage and speech, may and
might are used interchangeably when referring to possibility and probability, but
there is a slight difference between the two.
May is used to express what is possible, factual, or could be factual.
For example,
•He may lose his job.
•We may go on vacation.
•I may have dessert after dinner.

Might has the same meaning as may.

Example:
 It might rain tomorrow.
 Anita might be at home now.

In negatives form: may / might + not. Example : Mrs. Lee may / might not be at
the meeting tomorrow.

B. MAYBE ( one word ) vs MAY BE ( two words )

The adverb maybe ( one word ) means “possibly”. May be comes in front of a
subject and verb.
Example: maybe Abdullah will be here.
The adverb may be ( two words ) is used as the verb of a sententence.
Example : Abdullah may be here tomorrow.
Exercise :
Directions: complete the sentences with maybe or may be.
1. A: I ………………… a little late tonight
B: that’s okay. I wont worry about you.
2. A: will be here by seven oclock.
B: its hard to say. …………….. I will be a little late.

4. A: will the plane be on time?

B: I think so, but it ……………. A few minutes late.

C. FUTURE TIME CLAUSES WITH BEFORE, AFTER AND

WHEN.

Time clauses are preceded by adverbs or adverb phrases which show that they
represent a time.
A time clause shows that an event will happen at a certain time.
 96

A future time clause uses the simple present tense, not will or be going to.

Example
 Before Ann goes to work tomorrow, she will eat breakfast.
 I’m going to finish my homework after I eat dinner tonight.
 When I go to new york next week, I’m going to stay at the Hilton
hotel.

D. CLAUSES WITH IF

An if clause begins with if and has a subject and a verb. An if clause can come
before or after a main clause.
(a) If it rains tomorrow, we will stay home.
(b) We will stay home if it rains tomorrow.

The simple presend is used in an if clause to express future time.

Example:
 If it rains tomorrow , we wont go on picnic.
 I’m going to buy a new car next year if I have enough money.

E. EXPRESSING HABITUAL PRESENT WITH TIME

CLAUSES AND IF CLAUSES.

time clause. Be going to or will is used in the main clause.( after Ann gets
to work today, she is going to have / or will have a cup of coffe ).

if clause. Be going to or will is used in the main clause.

clause and the main clause.

Polite Questions: May I, Could I, And Can I 13-4

?..Can I
Can I...?" is the most casual way to ask for permission. It's common for talking to"
:friends, coworkers, and family members
?Can I see it 
?Can I get something to drink 
In traditional English grammar, "Can I...?" was not used for asking permission.
That's changed in the last 50 years, though. These days, it's the most common of
.the three expressions
?...May I
May I...?" is the most formal way to ask for permission in English. Formal "
language is useful for talking to strangers and when there's a large power gap
.between you and the person you're talking to
:You can ask a stranger for a small favor like this
?May I borrow your pen for a second
Some teachers in elementary, junior high, and high school require their students to
"?...ask for permission using "May I
?Student: Can I go to the bathroom 
"?...Teacher: "May I 
?Student: May I go to the bathroom 

Imperative Sentences 13-6

Imperative sentences are used to issue a command or instruction, make a

request, or offer advice. Basically, they tell people what to do. Below, you'll find
some imperative sentence examples and learn about their function.
Imperative sentences usually end with a period but can occasionally end with an
exclamation point. These sentences are sometimes referred to
as directives because they provide direction to whoever is being addressed.
In the examples of imperative sentences here, you'll note that each line is issuing a
command of some sort:
 Pass the salt.
 Move out of my way!
 Shut the front door.
 Find my leather jacket.
 Be there at five.
 Clean your room.
 Complete these by tomorrow.

Modal Auxiliaries 13-7

Modal verbs are a kind of auxiliary verb. They facilitate the main verb for
suggesting potential, expectation, permission, ability, possibility, and obligation.
When used with the main verb, modal verbs do not end with -s for the third-
person singular. Modal auxiliary verbs never change form, but they have a
different form for past tense.

The modal auxiliaries include:

Present Tense Past Tense

Will Would (used to)

Can Could
Must (have to)
May (Had to)
Should (ought to) (had better)
Might
Should (ought to)
:Examples
.We can play football 
.We could play football 
.We may play football 
.We might play football 
.We must play football 
.We mustn't play football 
.We needn't play football 
.We ought to play football 
.We shall play football 
.We should play football 
.We will play football 
.We would play football 

: EXERCISE

Use modal verbs where possible. If a modal verb can't be used with a certain
tense, use its substitute.

must
1. You (must) get up early tomorrow.

Modifieris a word that is used toexplain in more detail about a group of other
words. Generally the sentencesthat are explained will be behind the words that
explain.
A. MODIFYING NOUNS WITH ADJECTIVES AND NOUNS
1. Adjectives can modify nouns.
Adjectives give a little different meaning to a noun,
example: cold weather, hot weather, nice weather, bad
weather.

Adjectives come in front of noun. Example sentences:

 Alex is a happy child( happy is adj, child is noun )
 Bella buy some a red velvet cake ( red velvet is adj, cake is
noun )

2. Nouns can modify other nouns

As a modifier, the first noun gives specific information
about the following noun.Example: I bought a
grammarbook.

In nearly all cases, the noun that acts as the modifieris in

singular form.Example: he worksat a shoestore.

3. Both an adjective sand a noun can modify a noun, the adjective

comes first and the noun second.
Example: I bought an expensive grammar book.

B. WORD ORDER OF ADJECTIVES

1. In two adjectives modify a noun. Adjectives follow a particular
order. Example: a red large car. ( an adjective describing size
comes before color )
2. The adjectives expresses an opinion. Opinion adjectives usually
comes before all other adjectives. Example:
 a beautiful young woman ( opinion precedes age )
 a beautiful red car ( opinion precedes color )
 117

 a beautiful greekisland ( opinion precedes nationality )

Example of opinion adjectives:

 Dangerous
 Difficult
 Dirty
 Expensive
 Favorite
 Good

Usual word order of adjectives

Beautiful, delisious, kind and etc.
 Size
Large, tall, little and etc
 Age
Young, old, middle aged and etc.
 Colour
Pink, blue, yellow and etc.

Adjectives that describe nationality are capitalized.

It is very rare to find a long list of adjectives in front of noun
Example: a beautiful small old brown greek metal coin.

All of=100%
Almost all of=95%-99%
Almost is used with all, all cannot be
ommited

CHAPTER 15

POSSESIVE
The Learning Objectives :
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:
 Possesive nouns

 Possessive: irregular plural nouns

 122

 Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs

 Question with whose

POSSESSIVE NOUNS
Definition: Possessive nouns show ownership. Possessive comes from the same
root as possession, something you own.

Singular Possessives
Add 's to singular words to show possession.
Dog's sister's backpack car's engine
collar

(dog + 's) (sister + 's) (car + 's)

If a singular word ends in s, it is still necessary to add 's.
Charles's Bess's dresses bus's tires
sneakers

(Charles + 's) (Bess + 's) (bus + 's)

Plural Possessives
If you have added an s to make a word plural (for example, cat ⇒ cats),
adding 's will sound ridiculous (cats's). In that case, add only the apostrophe to the
end of the word.
Dogs' sisters' backpacks cars' engines
collars

(dogs + ') (sisters + ') (cars + ')

Just like singular possessives, plural possessives that don't end in s add 's.
Children's fish's bowls octopi's tentacles
homework

(children + 's) (fish + 's) (octopi + 's)

Hint:
Look at the ending in front of the apostrophe to see if the word is singular
or plural.
One dog |'s (One dog has one tail.)
tail

Two dogs|' tails (Two dogs have two tails.)

 123

If two people own something together, use an 's after the second person only.
Joe and Mary's car is (Both Joe and Mary own the car.)
new.
If two people own two separate things, add 's to each name.
Laurie's and Megan's nails are painted the same (Each girl has her own
color. nails.)
You may find that certain names ending in s add only an apostrophe. That rule is
somewhat old-fashioned. However, some names, such as Jesus, Moses, Achilles,
and Charles Dickens (historical names that end in a z sound), can end with either
an apostrophe or 's.
Jesus' parables were instructional Jesus's parables were instructional stories.
stories.

Moses' first tablets were broken. Moses's first tablets were broken.
Some people prefer to use only the apostrophe, but because we usually pronounce
the extra s, adding 's is correct as well.

:EXERCISE

.Read each phrase below and write it in possessive form

Example: the bat of David Answer: David’s bat

Dogs owner .1 New York skyscrapers .7

Los Angeles beaches .2 Dads rocking chair .8

The children plans .3 Childrens toys .9

Websters dictionary .4 The hurricane of Miami .10

The computer of Michael .5 The book of Karen .11

James invention .6 The basketball of Stephen .12

POSSESSIVE: IRREGULAR PLURAL NOUNS

 Irregular plural nouns have an irregular plural possesive form. The
aposthrope (’) comes before the final –s.
 124

Regular plural possessive noun:

The students’ books
Irregular plural possessive noun:
The women’s books
Example:
The children’s toys are on the floor.
That store sells men’s clothing
That store sells women’s clothing

4. Person A biography is a story of a.................................... life

5. Wife Ron fixed his .................................old sewing machine.

POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS: MINE, YOURS, HIS, HERS, OURS,

THEIRS
a) This book belongs to me Possessive Possessive
Adjective Pronoun
It is my book My Mine
It is mine Your Yours
Her Hers
b) That book belong to you His His
Our Ours
It is your book Their Theirs
It is yours
c) That book is mine

INCORRECT: That is mine book Example

MAKING COMPARISONS
16 – 1. Using the Some (as ), Similar (to) and Different (from)
A and B are the same
A is the same as B
A
B
A and B are similar
A is similar to B
 A
B
A A and B are different
A is different From B

16 – 2. Using Like and Alike

Like and alike have the some meaning, but the sentence patterns are different
Like = similar to
This + be + like + that
Example : your voice is like his voice
Alike = similar
This and that + be + alike
Example : your voice and my voice are alike
Exercise.

4. My sister and I have similar face. In other words, My face my

sister`s face
5. Your job is my job
16 – 3. The ComparativeAnd The Superlative
Comparative Adjectives
Comparative adjectives are used to comparedifferences between the two
objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences
where two nouns are compared, un this pattern :
“Noun (subject) + comparative adjective + than + noun (O)”
The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the
context (final example bellow )
 This box is smaller than the one I lost
 Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like jack better. (“than Jim is
understood)
 My house is larger than her house

Superlative Adjectives
Superlative Adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper
or lower limit of a quality ( the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the higher). They
are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects
Noun (s) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (O)
The group that isbeingcompared with can be omitted if it is clear from the
context (final example bellow)
 This is the smallest box I’ve ever seen
 Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race
 We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flow the highest. (“ of
all the rocks” is understood)
 My house is the largest one in our neighborhood
Forming Regular Comparatives and Superlatives
Forming comparatives and superlatives is easy. The form depends on the
number of syllables in the original adjective.
 One syllable adjectives

Add -erfor the comparative and – est for the superlative. If the adjectives
has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be
double before adding the ending
Adjective Comparative Superlative
Tall Taller Tallest
 Fat Fatter Fattest
Big Bigger Biggest
Sad Sadder Saddest
Two syllables
Adjective with two syllables can from the comparative either by
adding – er or by preceding the adjective with more. These adjectives
 from the superlative either by adding – est or by preceding the
adjective with most. In many cases both forms are used, although one
usage will be more common than the other. If you are not sure
whether a two – syllable adjective can take a comparative or
superlative ending , play it safe and use more and most instead. For
adjectives ending in “y”, change the “y” to an” i” before adding the
ending

ADJECTI COMPARATI

HAPPY HAPPIER HAPPIEST

SIMPLE SIMPLER SIMPLEST
BUSY BUSIER BUSIEST
TILTED MORE TILTED MOST TILTED
TANGLED MORE MOST TANGLED
