HOMEWORK 1

1.1 Collocations

What are collocations?

A collocation is a combination of two or more words that are commonly used together, in
a way that sounds natural to a Native Speaker.

All of Word combination listed above sound “right” and natural to a native English
Speaker. While a speaker of French o Spanish might say

The room of the hotel” (that sounds odd to an English Speaker. The Natural English
combination is Hotel room.

Why are collocations Important?

To be fluent in English, you need to know which words go together. Learning the correct
combination of words will help you sound more natural.

NOTICE the words that are used together, Memorize groups of words instead of just a single
Word.

COLLOCATIONS EXAMPLE:

 Take your time ( toma tu tiempo)

 Do your best ( Dar lo mejor de ti)
 Make a call ( Hacer una llamada )
 Go crazy ( perder la cabeza, estar loco.

A continuación te dejare una tabla de algunas collocations que pueden ser muy útiles:
Come close Acercarse
Come early Llegar temprano
Come late Llegar tarde
Come right back Volver enseguida
Go dark Obscurecer

Come to a decisión Llegar a una decisión

Sit an exam Hacer un examen
Run a business Dirigir un negocio
Make a decisión Tomar una decisión
Take the hint Entender la indirecta

Prepositions

What is a preposition?

A preposition is a word used to link nouns, pronouns, or phrases to other words within a
sentence. They act to connect the people, objects, time and locations of a sentence.
Prepositions are usually short words, and they are normally placed directly in front of
nouns. In some cases, you’ll find prepositions in front of gerund verbs.

A nice way to think about prepositions is as the words that help glue a sentence together.
They do this by expressing position and movement, possession, time and how an action is
completed.
In :
In (to indicate a location)- I am in my friend’s place now.
In (used while doing something) — The tagline should be catchy in marketing a product.
In (to indicate opinion, belief, feeling, etc.)- I believe in hardworking.
In (specify day, month, season, year) — I prefer to do Maths in the morning.
The new academic session will commence in March.
In (to indicate color, shape and size) — This dress comes in four sizes.
On :
On (refers a surface of something)- I kept the dishes on the dining table.
On (specifies days and dates)- I will come on Monday.
Radha was born on 15th August.
On (refers TV or other devices)- She is on the phone.
My favorite movie will be on TV now.
On (refers the parts of the body) — I keep wearing my wedding ring on my finger.
On (to refer a state)- The products available in the store are on sale.
At :
At (to indicate a place)- There are a good number of people at the park.
At (to refer an email address)- Please mail in detail @ (at) radha@def.com
At (to refer a time) — Meet me at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
At (indicate one’s activity)-John laughed at my acting in the play.

UNIT IV

1.2 ADJECTIVE AND ADVERBS

HOMEWORK 2

1.- Read about the order of adjectives and adverbs.

Adjectives
 We use adjectives to describe someone or something. Adjectives usually come
before the noun they describe or after verb like be, feel , look , smell, sound, and
taste.
 Its a big yellow balloon. The balloon is big and yellow.
 When there is more tan one adjective before a noun, we use this order:

Opinion Size Age Shape Color Origin Material Type

Nice Small New Round Red German Glass electric

A large square plastic table a beautiful old White bowl

Adverbs
 We already know that adverbs of frequency tell us how often somebody does
something.

I always dream about having an adventure when I’m sleeping

He never takes risks

 There are also adverbs of manner. These adverbs tell us how somebody does
something.

Helen skied quickly down the montain.

 We often form adverbs of manner by adding- ly to the end of an adjective.

Laura sailed bravely around the Word.

 Some adverbs of manner are irregular and do not follow this rule.

Katy runs very fast.

Elaborated & adapted by Ana Gabriela de la Roca Solis
  Adverbs of manner usually go after the verb in a sentence. But if the sentence has
an object the adverb goes after that (and not inmediatelly after the verb)

The boys spoke quietly about their plan

She sails a boat badly
