3. PHRASAL VERBS
Phrasal verbs are distinctive to the English language. Also called 2 and 3-word verbs, they combine a particle
(preposition) with a verb. The meaning of the resulting 2 or 3-word verb is a combination of both, the verb and
its particle (preposition).
Phrasal verbs are idiomatic expressions that are formed by combining verbs with prepositions or adverbs. This
results in new compound verbs with a very different meaning than the one given by the dictionary for individual
verbs.
Common 2-word verbs
Verb particle
Turn on (the light)
Turn off (the light)
Turn up (the volume)
Turn down (the volume)
Common 3-word verbs
Verb particle
Run out of sugar
Run out of gas

•my cousins are nervous because her mother say what the notes of the school they have to be good or run out
vacations
•Rachel works out at the gym three times a week. and she is very happy
•Tomorrow I'm off to Paris for my party.

6. MODAL VERBS OF ADVICE AND OBLIGATION
GOLDEN RULES ABOUT MODAL VERBS
• Modal verbs never add an -s in the third person singular:
• Modal verbs are followed by infinitive without to except from ought to.
• Modal verbs don´t need auxiliaries to make negative sentences or questions:
• Should I apologise?
• Modal verbs only have one form. You need other verbs to express the same thing in the past, future etc.
In English, the idea of obligation is conveyed by the following modal verbs:
Ought to
Have to*
Need to*
Must

7. To give advice or recommendation, use the following modal verbs:
* Remember to use the proper third person singular
form for these verbs:
(he/she/it has to & he/she/it needs to)
Should
Ought to
Had better / �d better*
Example of sentences:
•You should eat less fat if you want to lose weight an be more healthy
•the teacher told him to maria in the class You oughtn´t to tell lies this is bad for you
•she need to wear a coat because it's cold outside.
•I must do some exercise to be fit this summer
•We need to buy some bread for lunch today

8. FUTURE TENSES
The future tense in English has two forms:
the Simple Future, formed with will + simple form (infinitive without to) and the verb to be + going to + simple form.
The simple future uses will (ll) for every subject (Mary, Paul, you and me, Frank and Jeremy, the teacher, the students,
etc) or subject pronoun (I, she, we, etc). Will is always followed by another verb in simple form.
Let’s look at some examples from the listening:
will continue to study, you can be sure of that!
Well, your Spanish will help you a lot.
Yes, and a housing allowance, health and dental benefits will be included. I ll have time to study, too.

9. Yes-No questions in the simple future are formed by placing �will� before the subject or subject
pronoun:
Wh-questions are formed by placing a wh- word (who, what, when, where, how, how much, how many,
etc) at the beginning of a Yes-No question:
Negative statements use will not or, more commonly, won’t
How many hours will you work per week?
Where will you stay?
I won’t continue working for you.
She won’t work at the hospital any more.
They won’t travel to Venezuela this year.

10. Note: will not is used in formal, scientific or academic English
The President will not sign the contract.
Astronauts will not land on Mars for another 20 years
Present Progressive with Future Meaning
As you know, the present progressive is also used to talk about actions happening in the future, in the short term:
Frank and Mary are
giving a presentation this
afternoon.
I’m not coming to the party
this Friday.
She’s not working tonight.
They aren’t traveling to
Venezuela this year.

11. Example of sentences
• They will dance all night long, for win the festival
• This winter will not be so cold. so i don't need many coats
• Next month he will be ten years old.
• my friend it's nervous for the game but the coach say we will win this match!
• I hope you will have a successful trip this week

12. Tag Questions with BE
tag questions are a very distinctive feature of English. They are very common, especially in spoken language and
everyday situations. In a conversation, you would add a tag question to something you say, when you want to get
confirmation or corroboration from your listener about what you're saying. For example, if you think Opera is
boring, and you want the person you're talking to to agree with you (to corroborate what you're saying) you would
say something like this.
And he/she would either agree or disagree by using any of the expressions of agreement /disagreement we
learned in English I. Something like this:
Or
- Opera is boring, isn’t it?
- Yes, it is, I think so, I agree
- No, it isn’t, I don’t think so, I disagree

13. Tag Questions with be
Tag questions are formed by: taking a statement (either in the affirmative or the negative ) and attaching a short question [a form of
verb to be+ subject] in the opposite form to its end:
The above is true for any verb tense, starting from the affirmative :
-
She is ... Isn't she ?
