Modals in past forms
This document discusses the modal verbs "may have", "might have", "could have", and "must have" which are used to express possibilities in the past. "May have", "might have", and "could have" suggest less certainty about past events or actions, while "must have" implies a stronger probability. Examples are provided to illustrate how these modal verbs can be used to speculate about possible reasons or explanations for past situations where the true reason is unknown. The document also notes some pronunciation patterns for these modal verbs and provides exercises for the reader to practice using them.
Tag Question Mini Lesson
This document provides a lesson on tag questions in English grammar. It defines tag questions as questions added to the end of statements to check or seek information.

The document discusses the past perfect and simple past tenses in English. It explains that the past perfect uses the auxiliary verb "had" and the past participle of the main verb to talk about an action that was completed before another past action. It also explains how to form the simple past and uses examples to illustrate the differences between using the simple past versus past perfect depending on whether the focus is on a single past event or relating two past events in temporal order.
Questions tag
Question tags are short questions added to the end of statements to confirm information or encourage a response. They are formed using an auxiliary or modal verb matching the statement combined with a subject pronoun. A positive statement takes a negative question tag, while a negative statement uses a positive question tag. Irregular verbs like "be", "have", and "do" also have irregular question tags. Question tags are mainly used in speech to check facts or get others to reply.
Past Simple, Continuous, Perfect
The document discusses different types of past tense grammar in English:
1) Past Simple is used to talk about completed actions in the past and habitual actions. It is formed by adding "-ed" to regular verbs or using the past form of irregular verbs.
2) Past Continuous describes actions that were ongoing at a specific time in the past. It is formed using "was/were" and the "-ing" form of the verb.
3) Past Perfect refers to actions that occurred before something else in the past. It is formed using "had" plus the past participle of the verb. It is used with time expressions like "before" or "by the time".
Non Defining Clauses
This document defines and compares defining and non-defining relative clauses. Defining relative clauses provide essential information about a noun, while non-defining clauses provide extra, non-essential information between commas. Defining clauses do not use commas and allow the word "that", while non-defining clauses require commas and do not allow "that". Common relative pronouns include who, which, whose, when, and where, with who referring to people and which referring to things. Examples are provided to illustrate the differences.
Either Or Neither Nor

With "either...or" and "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the subject closer to the verb. Several examples are given to illustrate the correct use of verbs with each structure.
Like Versus As
The document discusses the difference between the words "like" and "as". It explains that "like" is a preposition followed by nouns, pronouns, or verbs ending in "ing", and is used to indicate similarity. In contrast, "as" is used before a subject and verb to show something is done in a certain way. It can also be used as a preposition followed by nouns to indicate something is being used for a specific purpose.

The differences between "a few/a little" and "few/little" are also explained.
When and while
This document discusses the difference between using "while" and "when" to link actions in the past.

Basic GrammarQuestion tags
Question tags are short questions placed at the end of sentences, especially in spoken English, to solicit input or confirmation. If the main part of the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative, such as "It's warm, isn't it?". Conversely, if the main part is negative, the question tag is affirmative, like "She couldn't see it, could she?". Question tags are useful tools for conversation.

What’ s the question
This document discusses different types of questions in English, including yes/no questions, WH- questions, subject/object questions, negative questions, indirect questions, and question tags. Yes/no questions use auxiliary verbs and short answers. WH- questions start with question words like who, what, when and use subject-verb inversion. Subject/object questions differ based on whether the question word is the subject or object. Negative questions add "not" and question tags check statements by adding a negative or positive tag depending on the statement.
TAG QUESTIONS.pptx
1. Tag questions are questions formed by adding a short question to the end of a statement, such as "It's a nice day, isn't it?". They are used to confirm what was stated with the listener.
2. The auxiliary verb or "to be" verb used in the statement is also used to form the tag question. If there is no auxiliary, "do/does/did" is used.
3. The polarity of the tag question depends on the statement - a positive statement takes a negative tag and vice versa. Tag questions can be said with rising or falling intonation depending on the speaker's certainty.
Auxiliary and modal verbs
Auxiliary and modal verbs help form tenses, voices, and moods. There are primary auxiliaries like be, have, and do as well as modal auxiliaries like shall, should, will, would, may, might, can, could, must, ought to, used to, need and dare. Auxiliary verbs are used in short answers, to avoid repetition, with so and neither, in "echo" questions, to show emphasis, and in question tags. Question tags are formed with an auxiliary verb and pronoun and are used to check something believed to be true or to ask for agreement.
Tagquestions
The document provides information about tag questions in English. It defines a tag question as a sentence with a question phrase connected at the end. There are two purposes of tag questions: 1) to clarify information when the speaker expects an answer, and 2) to agree with someone when the speaker does not expect an answer. It then outlines six steps for forming tag questions based on identifying the verb, tense, person, and whether it is affirmative or negative. Examples are provided to illustrate each step. Common verbs that form tags differently like "be" are also noted. The summary concludes by stating tag questions follow different word order than statements, putting the verb before the subject.
Tag questions
Tag questions are statements followed by a mini-question that asks for confirmation or agreement. The statement can be positive or negative, and the tag question takes the opposite polarity. There are different structures for tag questions depending on whether the main statement contains an auxiliary verb like "have" or "be", a modal verb, or no auxiliary verb. For statements starting with "I am", the tag question always uses "aren't I?". Tag questions are used to guide the response in the direction wanted by the speaker.
Tag Questions
Tag questions are statements followed by a mini-question, called a question tag, that is used to guide the answer in the direction wanted. The basic structure is a positive statement followed by a negative question tag, or a negative statement followed by a positive question tag. The question tag uses the same verb as the main statement, whether it is an auxiliary verb like "have" or "be", or "do" if there is no auxiliary. Modal verbs in the statement are also used in the question tag. A statement starting with "I am" takes "aren't I?" as the question tag.
Understanding question tags
Question tags are short questions added to the end of statements to turn them into yes/no questions used for confirmation or agreement. There are two types - positive statements followed by negative tags, and negative statements followed by positive tags. Intonation when asking the question tag indicates whether you want confirmation or are unsure. For non-auxiliary verbs, the question tag will be "don't" for present tense and "didn't" for past tense.
Question Tags.ppt
Question tags are short questions added to declarative or negative sentences to check understanding or agreement. They usually use an auxiliary verb and either a positive or negative tag depending on the main clause. There are rules for forming question tags based on whether the main clause is positive or negative and what auxiliary verb it contains. Questions tags are a grammatical structure used in English to engage the listener and confirm shared understanding.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
