First and second conditionals
This document reviews the basics of first and second conditionals in English. The first conditional is used to talk about possible future situations and their consequences, using "if + present, will/won't + infinitive". The second conditional is used to talk about hypothetical or imaginary future situations, using "if + past, would/wouldn't + infinitive". It also provides examples of variations on these structures, such as using modal verbs instead of will/won't, "unless" instead of "if...not", and different present and past verb tenses.
Second conditional
If I could fly, I would fly around the world. We use the second conditional to describe something that is impossible in the present or possible but improbable in the future. The second conditional uses "if" with the past tense verb to refer to the condition, and "would" with the base verb to refer to the possible result. Some examples of using the second conditional include expressing improbable future events, giving advice, and making polite requests.
Can, could and be able to
The document discusses the use of modal auxiliary verbs can, could, and be able to. It explains that can is used to talk about present ability or possibility, could is used to talk about past ability or possibility, and be able to is used to talk about ability. It provides examples of how each modal verb is used and exercises for the reader to practice using them correctly.
Modal perfect
This document discusses the use of modal verbs with the perfect tense to express uncertainty, ability, certainty, and expectations about past actions. Some key uses covered include expressing uncertainty with "might have" and "could have", ability in the past with "could have", certainty that something did not occur with "can't have", and strong certainty about a past action with "must have". It also discusses expressing unfulfilled expectations or ungiven advice about past actions using "should/ought to have".
Conditional Type 1 and 2
This document discusses different types of conditional sentences in English. There are three main types:
1) Type 0 or real conditional sentences use the present simple tense to describe general truths or facts. Examples are given such as "Water turns to ice if it freezes."
2) Type 1 or probable conditional sentences use the present simple in the if-clause and will/can + infinitive in the main clause to describe probable future events based on present conditions. An example is "If I study hard, I will pass the exam."
3) Type 2 or unreal conditional sentences use the past simple in the if-clause and would/could + infinitive in the main clause to describe improbable or hypothetical
Modal verbs for speculation and deduction

It provides examples of sentences using phrases like "This time next month" and "This time next year" followed by actions that will have been completed by those times, such as "he will have bought a new car". Pictures are included and used to generate more example sentences of future achievements that will have happened. Readers are prompted to imagine and describe their own future achievements using the future perfect tense.
Difference between "to make" and "to do"
The document discusses the differences between using "do" and "make" in Spanish. It states that "do" is used more generally for actions and activities that do not result in a physical object, while "make" implies creating something tangible.

Examples are provided to illustrate the use of each modal.
Relative clauses

1. Relative pronouns such as who, which, that can introduce a relative clause to provide more information about a person or thing.
2. The relative pronoun can sometimes be omitted if it is not the subject of the relative clause.
3. Relative clauses can be either defining or non-defining - defining clauses are essential to the meaning while non-defining clauses provide extra information set off by commas.
Defining And Non Defining Relative Clauses
The document discusses defining and non-defining relative clauses. Non-defining clauses add extra information and are surrounded by commas. Defining clauses provide essential information to identify the subject and are not surrounded by commas.

Finally, it notes that "wish" and "if only" can be used interchangeably to express regret.
Should ought to - GRAMMAR
This document discusses the difference between using "should" and "ought to" when providing advice or recommendations.

Anything and nothing are also used in short answers or sentences with a positive verb but a negative meaning.
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.
Comparatives - Elementary
Comparatives are used to compare two things or people. They are formed by adding -er to adjectives with one syllable and more or -er to adjectives with more than one syllable. Irregular adjectives like good, bad, and far form their comparatives differently as better, worse, and farther.
Articles
Use "a" or "an" when mentioning something or someone for the first time or identifying what something is. Use "the" when it is clear who or what is being referred to. Don't use articles with plural or uncountable nouns, meals, transportation, points of the compass, institutions like prisons or hospitals when thinking about them generally, or most geographical names like countries or streets. Do use "the" with mountain ranges, bodies of water, and specific buildings.
Present Perfect - English File pre-intermediate - Unit 4A

The present perfect is formed using the present tense of have/has plus the past participle of the main verb. It also discusses how the adverbs yet, just, and already are often used with the present perfect.
Comparatives and superlatives preinterm
This document discusses comparatives and superlatives in English. It explains that comparatives show superiority, equality, or inferiority using more, as, or less along with adjectives and adverbs. Regular comparatives add -er while some irregular ones like good/better and bad/worse. Superlatives use -est or most/least and show something is the most or least of its type. They often use possessive adjectives and indicate place, group, or time period.
Questions without auxiliaries
The document discusses two types of questions - object questions and subject questions. For object questions, which ask about the object of a verb like time, place, or beneficiary, an auxiliary verb like do/does/did is used with the infinitive. For subject questions, which ask about the subject performing the action, no auxiliary verb is used. Examples are provided for both types of questions to illustrate their different structures.
Love Idioms
The document discusses expressions related to being in love. It provides phrases for describing finding someone very attractive, being so in love that it is difficult to breathe, falling completely in love, and informally expressing that one is in love with someone.

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.
Present perfect 3
The document discusses the use of the present perfect tense in English. It explains that the present perfect is used to talk about past experiences without specifying a time.

It contrasts the use of the present perfect versus the past simple tense.
Obligation, necessity, prohibition, advice
This document discusses different modal verbs and expressions used to indicate obligation, necessity, prohibition, and advice in English. It explains:
1) "Have to", "must", and "need to" are used to talk about obligation or necessity. "Have to" exists in all tenses while "must" is only present tense. "Need to" can be used in all tenses.
2) "Don't have to" and "needn't" indicate there is no obligation.
3) "Mustn't" is used to talk about something that is prohibited.
4) "Should" and "ought to/oughtn't to" express advice or opinion and are less strong
The present continuous for future arrangements
The document discusses the use of the present continuous tense to refer to future arrangements or plans. It notes that the present continuous is commonly used with expressions like "tonight", "tomorrow", "this weekend" to indicate plans at a fixed time in the future. It also states the present continuous is more appropriate than the present simple or future forms like "going to" when used with verbs describing travel arrangements like "go", "come", "leave", "arrive". The present continuous emphasizes the pre-arranged nature of the future event being discussed.
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.
Defining relative clauses
Defining relative clauses are used to explain what a person, thing, or place is or does. They use who or that for people, which or that for things, and where for places. When the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause, no additional subject noun or pronoun is needed. Defining relative clauses identify the person, thing, or place being referred to.
Quantifiers
This document provides guidance on using "too much", "too many", "too", and "enough" in sentences. It explains that "too much", "too many", and "too" are used to express that something is more than desirable, giving examples pairing them with uncountable nouns, countable nouns, and adjectives respectively. It also explains that "enough" is used to mean "all that is necessary", and provides examples of using it before and after nouns and after verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.
Can, could, be able to
The document discusses the uses of the modal verbs CAN, COULD, and BE ABLE TO. CAN is used to talk about ability, possibility, and permission in the present and future. COULD is the past form of CAN and is used to talk about general ability or possibility in the past. BE ABLE TO is used for all other tenses besides the present and can be used in the past to sound more formal. COULD and COULDN'T are used for requests and talking about specific instances of ability in the past, while CAN'T expresses certainty that something is impossible or untrue in the present.

Conditionals are sentences that express conditions and their results. The zero conditional describes general truths, the first conditional describes real future possibilities, and the second and third conditionals describe unreal or imaginary situations using different verb tenses. Specifically, the second conditional talks about imagined present situations using past tense verbs, while the third conditional talks about imagined past situations using past perfect verbs.
tugas Kelompok 2 conditional type 2
The document discusses conditional sentences in English. It explains that conditional sentences are used to talk about unreal or unlikely situations. There are two main types discussed - the second conditional which refers to the present or future but an unlikely situation, and the third conditional which refers to unlikely past situations. Examples are provided of sentence structures for both types, including using "if+past tense" in the condition clause and "would/could/might + infinitive" in the result clause. Various uses of modal verbs, tenses, and word order inversions in conditional sentences are also covered.

1. The document discusses mixed conditional sentences, which combine elements of type II and type III conditional structures. It provides examples of different combinations, such as a type III conditional in the if-clause and a type II conditional in the main clause.
2. Mixed conditionals are used to describe hypothetical present or future situations that result from past events that did not actually happen. They allow for discussing how circumstances could be different based on changing past actions.
3. The most common mixed conditional structures are those that discuss a past action with a present result, a present condition with a past result, or a future action with a past result.

Unit 8 a first & second conditional
The document discusses the first and second conditional. The first conditional describes a possible future event and its consequences, using the structure "if + present, will/going to + infinitive". The second conditional talks about unlikely or imaginary situations and their results, using "if + past tense, would + infinitive". Both conditionals can substitute other modal verbs like "might" or "could" for "will" and "would". The conditionals can also reverse the order of the if and result clauses while keeping the same meaning.
Conditional type 2
The document discusses the present unreal conditional, which is used to talk about imaginary situations. It has two parts: the "if" clause stating the condition, and the main clause stating the result. Even though referring to the present, the simple past tense is used in the "if" clause. The verb in the result clause is usually "would" followed by the base verb. Other options are "might" expressing an unlikely result, and "could" expressing a possible result or ability. Examples are provided to illustrate the structure and usage of the present unreal conditional.
