Presentation
Use the past continuous to talk about actions and
situations in progress at a particular moment in the past:
It was snowing and the traffic was moving really slowly.
Past continuous
Affirmative and negative
I / He / She / It

wasn’t (was not)
running.
We / You / They
were
weren’t (were not)
Questions and short answers
Where
was I / he / she / it
going?
were we / you / they
Past continuous and past simple
You can use the past continuous with the past simple to
talk about two actions that happened at the same time.
Use the past continuous to talk about the action which
was already in progress. Use the past simple to talk
about a second, shorter action:
The second, shorter action sometimes interrupts the
action already in progress:
You also often use the past continuous to describe the
background to a story:
It was winter. I was staying with my grandparents at the
time.
Do not use the past continuous with stative verbs:
I needed … (not I was needing.)
See Unit 9 for information about stative verbs.
It was winter. I was staying
with my grandparents at the
time. One day I needed to go
to London. My grandparents
offered to drive me to the
station. It was snowing and the
traffic was moving really slowly
so I decided to get out and walk.
As I arrived at the station the
last passengers were getting on
the train. I ran to the platform,
but it was too late. The train
was leaving the station.
Past continuous and past simple: Actions in progress, temporary
actions and situations, the background to a story
The ticket collector stopped me
time
I was running up the stairs
I was running up the stairs to the platform when the
ticket collector stopped me.
Yes, I / he / she / it was.
Yes, you / we / they were.
No, I / he / she / it wasn’t.
No, you / we / they weren’t.
She arrived on the platform
time
The train was leaving the station
When she arrived at the platform, the train was leaving
the station.

Presentation
If 1 present simple, present simple
You use if or when with the present simple followed by
the present simple in the main clause to talk about facts
and things which are generally true:
If it’s sunny, we go to the beach.
When it’s sunny, we go to the beach.
If it rains, we stay at home.
When it rains, we stay at home.
This is often called the zero conditional.
If 1 present simple, will
You can also use if with the present simple to talk about
a possible future situation or action. You use will / won’t
in the main clause to talk about the result of that
situation or action:
If it’s sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to the beach.
This is often called the first conditional.
Note that you use if with the present simple, not will, to
talk about the future.
(don’t say If it will be sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to the
beach.)
You can also use the present simple to talk about the
future after time conjunctions. See Unit 54.
Position of if
You can use if in two possible positions.
• if-clause first: If it rains, we’ll stay at home.
• main clause first: We’ll stay at home if it rains.
When the if-clause is at the beginning of the sentence,
you use a comma to separate it from the main clause.
If it’s sunny, we’ll go to the beach.
if or when?
When you talk about things that are generally true, you
can use if or when. There’s no difference.
If it’s sunny / When it’s sunny... If it rains / When it
rains...
When you talk about situations in the future, there is a
difference between if and when.
If I see Jim, I’ll let him know. (You don’t know if you’re
going to see Jim, but you know it’s a possibility.)
When I see Jim, I’ll let him know. (You know you are
definitely going to see Jim.)

Use much, many, lots, a lot of, a little and a few to talk
about quantity.
much / many
You usually use much / many in questions and negative
statements. Use much with uncountable nouns and
many with plural countable nouns:
I haven’t got much time. I don’t have many friends.
How much money do you earn? How many different
sports do you play?
Don’t use much in speech in affirmative statements. You
normally use a lot / lots:
Say I’ve got a lot of free time this weekend. (don’t say
I’ve got much free time this weekend.)
You can use many in affirmative statements, but it can
seem very formal:
I’ve got many things to do today. (formal)
I’ve got a lot of things to do today. (more common)
not much / not many
Use not much and not many to talk about small quantities.
Use not much with uncountable nouns:
I haven’t got much work to do this weekend.
Use not many with plural countable nouns:
I don’t exercise many hours a week.
You can also use not much and not many in short answers:
How many hours a week do you exercise? Not many.
a lot of / lots of
Use lots of or a lot of to talk about large quantities with
uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns:
I spend a lot of money on food. I have lots of meetings.
There is no difference in meaning or use between lots of
and a lot of:
I spend a lot of money on food. = I spend lots of money
on food.
Do not use of when there is no noun:
How much exercise do you do?
Say A lot. (don’t say A lot of.)
a little / a few
Use a little and a few to talk about small quantities.
Usea little with uncountable nouns: I have a little free time.
Use a few with plural countable nouns: I play a few sports.
You can also use little and few without a but there is a
difference in meaning.
A little or a few has a positive meaning. Little or few has
a negative meaning:
I have a little free time today so let’s play golf.
I have little free time so I can’t play golf.
TIP not much / not many have a similar meaning to
very little / few:
I don’thave much free time = I have verylittle time.
Idon’thavemanyfriendsatwork=Ihaveveryfewfriends.
How many hours a week do
you exercise?
Not many. I know I should do more but I have
lots of meetings at work and I have very little
free time at the weekends.
How much exercise do you do?
A lot. I spend lots of time at the gym every
week and I play a few sports like football and
tennis. I also make sure I always have a little
free time for golf at the weekends.
