Unit III In this unit you will learn about past tense of the expressions of existence, sequence
words, uses of modal verbs and talking about health problems and giving suggestions for
them.

4. We use this structure to talk
about the existence in past. We
have to use there was for
singular form or uncountable
nouns, and there were for plural
form.

5. There + was + articles (a/an) + noun.
Affirmative form.
There + were + numbers/quantifiers (numbers/some/many) + noun.
There was a red car. There were four red cars.

6. There wasn’t any bread.
Negative form.
T h e r e + w a s n ’ t + a n y + n o u n .
T h e r e + w e r e n ’ t + a n y + n o u n .
There weren’t any balls.

7. Was There + articles (a/an) + noun?
Question form.
Were There + numbers/quantifiers (numbers/some/many) + noun?
Was there a gorilla ? Were there three chicks?
Yes, there was. Yes, there were.

8. Was There + articles (a/an) + noun?

9. First, remove the
peel of the
plantain.
After, cut it into
small slices.
Then, fry them in
hot oil.

10. Then, crush every
slices.
Then, put the crushed
slices in hot oil again.

11. Next, puor some
salt on them.
Finally, enjoy your
delicious tostones.

12. We use the modal verbs for offers,
invitations, requests and permission.
They are special verbs that have two
tenses: present and past. They work
with all the subjects. Also, they are
like auxiliary verbs so you have to use
the principal verb in simple form.

13. Would you like a cup of coffe?
Would you like some cake?
We use would + like for offers or invitations. It’s very useful for different
situations. When you give somebody an invitation, you ask if he/she would
like to go somewhere or do something or have something. EXAMPLES:
OFFERS
 Yes, I’d love to
 Yes, I would.
 Of course, thanks.
 Yeah.
Would you like to go to the party?
Would you like to go with us to the
movies?
INVITATION
POSSIBLE ANSWERS
 I’d love to, but …
 In wish I could, but …
 Sorry, I don’t think I can.
 Sorry, maybe next time.
 Thank you, but I can’t.

14. We use the modals of requests: can, will, could, and may + verb to ask
for things and order in a restaurant. These modals all have the same basic
meaning, but some are more formal than others. EXAMPLE:
May I have a cup of coffee, please?
Could you open the door, please?
Will you pass me the salt, please?
Can I have a stamp?
Can you tell her to call me?
Yes, I can.
Yes, of course.
Sure.
REQUESTS
Informal situations Formal situations
POSSIBLE ANSWERS
No, I couldn’t.
No, I may not.
Sorry, I couldn´t.

15. Use the modal verbs of permission, 'can,' or 'could‘ to indicate whether
someone has permission to do something or not. Use 'can' to say that
someone is allowed to do something and 'cannot' or, 'can't,' to say that they
do NOT have permission (are not allowed) to do something. EXAMPLE:
No, you can't!
No, you may not!
Can I leave early?
Can we have something to drink?
PERMISSION
POSSIBLE ANSWERS
Could I ask you a question, please?
May I use your restroom, please?
Yes, you can!
Yes, you may!
Refusing permission Giving permission

16. USES:
We can use, could, may or might depending
on the situation:
 Can is the most informal.
 Could is more polite than can.
 May is more formal than could.
 Might is the most polite of all, but the least
common.

17. We can use the nouns sore + part of the
body to talk about some illness, for
example: sore throat, sore muscle; or part
of the body + pain, for example: leg pain,
chest pain, etc.
Some words that refer to parts of the body
accept the suffix –ache to describe a pain.
For example: stomachache, backache,
toothache etc.
