Online exercises for practicing second and third conditionals are listed at the end.
The Simple Past Tense
The document discusses the simple past tense in English. It explains that regular verbs are made past tense by adding "-ed" or "-d", while irregular verbs have unique past forms that must be memorized. It provides examples of common irregular verbs. The simple past can be used to talk about completed actions at a specific time in the past or habitual actions that are no longer occurring. It also covers forming negative and interrogative sentences in the past tense.
An informal letter
This document provides examples of useful language for opening and closing emails and letters as well as responding to news in correspondence. It includes expressions for thanking someone for writing, wishing them well, responding with sympathy or congratulations to updates, and signing off with regards, best wishes or love until next time. Post scripts are also mentioned.
I wish + past simple/past perfect
This document discusses the use of the expression "I wish" to express wishes and regrets about past or future events. It explains that the simple past is used to talk about present or future regrets, while the past perfect is used for past regrets that cannot be changed. Examples are provided to illustrate expressing regret over not having enough money in the past to travel. The document also notes that "if only" can be used instead of "I wish" without changing the meaning, and explains how "wish + would" is used for present wishes about things that cannot be changed.
Position of adverbs and adverb phrases
This document discusses the positioning of different types of adverbs in sentences. It explains that adverbs of frequency can go before or after verbs, adverbs of manner usually follow verbs they modify, adverbs of time often go at the end of sentences, adverbs of degree precede or follow adjectives or verbs depending on if they are words like "extremely" or "much", and comment adverbs frequently start sentences. The document provides examples to illustrate the typical placement of each adverb type.
Narrative tenses
The document discusses different tenses used to talk about the past in English, including:
1) Past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous tenses to describe specific past events and actions.
2) The phrase "used to" followed by an infinitive verb to talk about repeated or habitual past actions that are no longer happening.
3) The word "would" followed by an infinitive verb as an alternative to "used to" for describing repeated past actions, though it is not used with stative verbs like "have".
4) The past continuous tense combined with "always" to describe irritating repeated habits in the past.
Would rather and had better
This document discusses the differences between the phrases "would rather" and "had better". "Would rather" is used to express preference and is similar to "would prefer", while "had better" gives strong advice or a warning and is similar to "should". Both can take the contracted form of "'d" followed by an infinitive verb without "to". "Would rather" can also be used with a subject and past tense to express preference when the subjects are different.
So, such
The document appears to be examples for an English grammar exercise focusing on adjective and adverb usage with different parts of speech. It provides sample sentences using adjectives or adverbs to modify verbs like "drive", nouns like "traffic", and noun phrases with both singular countable nouns like "film" and uncountable or plural nouns like "music" and "shoes".
The passive 1NA
This document discusses the passive voice in English. The passive is formed using "be" plus the past participle of the main verb. It focuses on the object of the sentence rather than the subject. The passive voice is often used when the subject or agent performing the action is unknown or unimportant. Additional structures for the passive include "it is said/believed/thought" followed by "that" and a clause or the subject followed by "is said/believed/thought" plus an infinitive.
Auxiliaries
The document discusses the use of auxiliary verbs or modal verbs in various grammatical contexts in English, including in short answers, to avoid repeating main verbs, with "so" and "neither" to indicate the same thing, in echo questions to show interest, in question tags to ask for confirmation or check if something is true. It provides examples for how auxiliary/modal verbs are used in these different contexts.
Past modals for speculation in the past
This document discusses the use of past modal verbs like must, may, might, can't, and couldn't followed by the past participle to speculate or deduce about past actions. It explains that must have is used when you are almost certain something happened, might/may/could have express possible actions, and can't/couldn't have indicate when something was almost surely not possible. Examples are provided to illustrate the use of each modal.
Gradable and strong adjectives
Strong adjectives like exhausted already imply an extreme level and cannot be modified in the same way as gradable adjectives. Modifiers like very, incredibly, and extremely can be used with gradable adjectives to indicate level but not with strong adjectives. Absolutely can only be used to modify strong adjectives, while really can modify both strong and gradable adjectives.
Question Tags
Question tags are mini questions added to the end of sentences in spoken English using an auxiliary or modal verb. There are two main types - negative tags after positive sentences and positive tags after negative sentences. Intonation can indicate whether the tag is seeking agreement or confirmation. Specific cases have tags like "shall we?" after "Let's" and "will you?" after imperatives. Pronouns like "they", "it", and "there" are used in tags depending on the subject of the main clause.

The document discusses how words in fluent speech can link together when one word ends with a consonant and the next begins with a vowel, with the consonant sounding like it begins the next word, like "pets enter" and "pet centre" sounding the same. It also notes that the spelling may differ between phrases that sound the same, such as "s" spelling the /s/ sound in "pets" but "c" spelling it in "centre". Finally, it provides examples of words that sound the same but have different spellings when joined, such as "stopped aching" and "stop taking".
Adjectives as nouns
This document discusses how to use nationality adjectives as nouns. It provides examples of nationalities ending in -sh, -ch, -ss, and -ese that can be used with "the" to refer to people from that country. It notes that nationality words ending in -an and a few others are both adjectives and nouns, taking a plural -s when referring to multiple people. Some nationalities, like Polish, have a special noun form different from the adjective. Specific groups can also be referred to with "the" plus an adjective.
The Future
This document outlines different English verb tenses and structures used to talk about the future, including:
1) Will/won't + infinitive for predictions, promises, threats, decisions, requests and offers made at the moment of speaking.
2) Be going to + infinitive for predictions, plans and intentions based on present evidence.
3) Present continuous for fixed arrangements.
4) Shall + infinitive for offers, and questions about the future.
5) Future perfect and future continuous tenses are also explained.
First conditional and future time clauses
This document discusses different types of conditional sentences and future time clauses in English. It explains that zero conditional sentences use the present simple to talk about things that are always true. First conditional sentences use the present simple in one clause and will or other modal verbs in the other clause to talk about possible future situations. Future time clauses use the present simple after words like when, as soon as, until, before, and after to refer to the future. Examples are provided to illustrate the different structures.
Present perfect simple and continuous
This document provides instruction on using the present perfect and present perfect continuous tenses in English. It outlines several uses of the present perfect, including for past experiences with no specific time reference, finished actions connected to the present, and expressions like "already" or "yet." It also discusses using the present perfect continuous for actions that started in the past and continue to the present, or actions that have just finished but have present results. The key difference between the present perfect and present perfect continuous is that the present perfect emphasizes completion of an action while the continuous emphasizes the continuation of an action.
Third conditional
This document discusses the third conditional, a grammatical structure used to talk about hypothetical or imaginary situations in the past and their consequences. The third conditional is formed using "if" plus the past perfect tense (had + past participle) followed by "would" and the perfect infinitive (have + past participle) to discuss something that did not actually happen in the past. An example is provided to illustrate this structure: "If I had known about the meeting, I would have gone."

Overview:
Over the course of the last few units, you have been working on crafting the argument
for your Argument Essay. You will now write an argument essay that answers one of
these questions.
The essay should answer ONE of these questions:
1. Should climate change be considered a real issue or a hoax?
2. Should the United States have universal health care?
3. Should employers have access to employee’s social media content?
Each of the above questions relate to one of the issues you have already written about
in the Unit 4 Assignment: Pro and Con of an Issue. Now, choose one side of the issue
to develop into an argument essay.
You should answer ONE of the above questions in a well-thought out and developed
argument essay with:
• A clear introduction that sets up the issue, explains your topics, and ends with your
thesis statement.
• Body paragraphs focusing on one topic in support of your argument in each paragraph.
o You need three reliable and academic sources for this assignment in support of
your argument. You should include evidence that is directly quoted, paraphrased,
or summarized to support each topic. The evidence should have appropriate in-
text citations.
o You will typically want to include one piece of evidence in the body of each
paragraph, as you did in the paragraph and pro/con assignment. You are not
required to include a source about the counterargument (other side of your
argument), but you may if you would like.
• Then, end with a conclusion that wraps up your essay’s argument and leaves the reader
with something to consider about your issue.

Argument Essay and Third Person, Objective Writing

receptive to your argument? Normally, the audience is more willing to listen to your
position if you argue for it objectively and avoid unreasonable, argumentative tactics.
Your argument needs to be logical and fair, giving people the ability to disagree with
you.
Your argument also should be written in the third person to show that you can be
objective, meaning you use “He,” “she,” “they,” “people,” “one” and do not use “I,” “me,”
“we,” “us,” “our,” “you,” and “your.”
Instructions:
• Create an argument essay that answers ONE of the above questions.

paragraphs (with evidence), conclusion, and a references page.

· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).
Discursive essay vocabulary
This document provides guidance on argumentative writing. It outlines the key steps, which include understanding the task, planning main points by finding evidence and explanations to support a clear purpose and audience. When writing, use an introduction, alternative views, criticism of alternatives, and a conclusion. Techniques like facts, opinions, rhetorical questions and statistics presented in a FOREST structure can support points. Connectives should link ideas and paragraphs while words and phrases can establish objectivity. A checklist ensures an argument is convincing and sources are properly included to prevent plagiarism. As an example, guidance is given to write a 250-word essay weighing for and against arguments on the topic "Technology: Friend or Foe?".
