Speech acts (requests & refusals)
Requests can threaten a recipient's freedom and independence, making them feel imposed upon. Requests range from direct imperatives to indirect hints. Refusals are also often indirect to mitigate face threats. Common refusal strategies include expressing regret, providing excuses or explanations, promising future acceptance, or avoiding a direct refusal. Refusals typically follow a sequence of pre-refusal preparation, the main refusal, and post-refusal justification or conclusion. For example, an employee might hesitate in response to a request to stay late, apologize while explaining an evening plan, and reinforce their inability to stay.
Modals part 1
Modals are auxiliary verbs that provide additional meaning to the main verb. They express ability, possibility, permission or obligation. There are several types of modals: can, could, be able to, may, do you mind if.
Can, could, be able to express ability in present, past and future tense. Can and could are followed by the base verb form and do not change for person. Be able to expresses ability after hard work. May expresses polite permission. Do you mind if asks permission without annoyance. Permission is given with can, sure, or go ahead and refused with apologies and explanations.
Adverbs

Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs by describing manner, time, place, frequency, degree, purpose, or certainty. The main types of adverbs are adverbs of manner, time, place, frequency, degree, and certainty. Examples are given for each type of adverb to illustrate how they answer questions of how, when, where, how often, to what extent, and how certain. The document also discusses how adverbs are typically formed from adjectives.

Examples are given of how to use these words to give instructions without mentioning specific places or locations.
Modals - Part 2

Tricks & Strategies For A Good Speech

Gerundsvsinfitives
Gerunds and infinitives are both verb forms that can be used as subjects, objects, or complements in sentences. Gerunds are formed with "-ing" and act as nouns. Infinitives use "to" before the base verb form. Some verbs are followed by gerunds as objects, while others require infinitives. There are also cases where gerunds and infinitives can be interchangeable with little difference in meaning. Proper use depends on the specific verb and intended nuance. Both forms can take different tenses and voices.
Writing
This document provides guidelines for using gerunds and infinitives after certain verbs and prepositions. It lists many common verbs that take gerunds or infinitives and provides examples. Verbs like anticipate, consider, discuss, and risk are followed by gerunds, while verbs like agree, appear, decide, and expect are followed by infinitives. Only gerunds can follow prepositions.

Pronoun.antecedent
Pronoun-antecedent agreement errors occur when a pronoun does not agree with its antecedent in person and number. A pronoun (such as I, you, he) replaces or refers back to its antecedent, which is the noun or pronoun it replaces. Common errors involve indefinite pronouns like "anyone" and singular nouns that could refer to males or females. To avoid these errors, writers should make antecedents plural or reword sentences when possible to ensure clear pronoun references.
Multiplication
The document provides patterns for learning multiplication facts:
- The zero pattern states that any number multiplied by 0 equals 0.
