•   Unreal  situations  in  the  past  (often  called  the  third  conditional):  We  use  it  to  talk  about  a  condition   in   the  past   that  did  not  happen.  That   is  why  there   is  no  possibility   for   this  condition.  The  third  conditional  is  also  like  a  dream,  but  with  no  possibility  of  the  dream  coming  true.

•   Could  you  tell  me…,Do  you  know…,I  was  wondering…,Do  you  have  any  idea…,I’d  like  to  know…,Would  it  be  possible…,Is  there  any  chance…  

•   Using  'do'    •   Using  'if'  or  'whether':  If  there  is  no  question  word  (who,  

what,  when,  why,  how)  in  a  direct  question,  we  need  to  use  if  or  whether  in  the  indirect  question.    

 

  UNIT  8  •   Review    Question  Forms    

•   Using  auxiliaries  (All  tenses)  •   Negative  Questions    

•   Aren’t  you  coming?  (Contracted  –  auxiliary  verb  +  n’t  +  subject)  •   Doesn’t  he  understand?  (Auxiliary  verb  +  n’t  +  subject)  •   Are  you  not  coming?  (Uncontracted  –  auxiliary  verb  +  subject  +  not)  •   Does  he  not  understand?  (Auxiliary  verb  +  subject  +  not)  •   Didn’t  you  see  Ann  yesterday?  How  is  she  doing?  (=  I  believe  that  you  saw  

Ann  yesterday.)  •   You  may  also  express  your  opinions  in  a  more  polite  way  by  changing  

them  into  negative  questions.  •   Wouldn’t  it  be  nice  to  paint  that  wall  green?  (More  polite  than  

‘It  would  be  nice  to  paint  that  wall  green.’)  •   A  negative  question  can  also  be  used  to  ask  for  confirmation  of  a  negative  

belief.  In  this  case  the  speaker  is  surprised  that  something  has  not  happened  or  is  not  happening.  

•   Hasn’t  the  postman  come  yet?  •   Polite  requests,  offers,  complaints  etc  

•   Pressing  offers  and  invitations  often  assume  the  form  of  negative  questions.  They  usually  begin  Won’t  you…?  Wouldn’t  you…?  or  Why  don’t  you…?

•   Object  Adjective    Clauses  •   Nonrestrictive  clauses  require  the  use  of  commas.  A  nonrestrictive  

clause  doesn’t  restrict  or  limit  the  noun  it  is  modifying.    •   Mr.  Jones,  who  is  going  through  a  midlife  crisis,  just  bought  a  

shiny  red  Corvette.  •   This  clause  is  nonrestrictive  because  it  doesn’t  restrict  information  

about  Mr.  Jones.  There  is  much  more  to  know  about  him.  By  placing  the  clause  between  commas,  it  becomes  clear  that  the  adjective  clause  is  just  giving  it  added,  not  essential,  information  about  Mr.  Jones.  

•   Restrictive  clauses  do  not  require  the  use  of  commas.  A  restrictive  clause  does  limit  the  possible  meaning  of  the  subject.  For  example:  

•   The  movies  that  I  like  best  are  filled  with  action  and  adventure.  

•   Now  the  clause  is  restricted  because  it  is  identifying  which  movies  I  like  best.  I  don’t  like  all  movies  equally  well.  Because  the  clause  helps  identify  it  isn’t  set  off  with  commas.

First,  modal  verbs  never  take  a  third-­‐person  singular  s,  modal  verbs  are  always  followed  by  a  verb  in  the  plain  or  bare  infinitive  form,  never  to  +  verb.  

 

 

•   Future  in  the  Past  •    FORM  Would      [would  +  VERB]  •   I  knew  you  would  help  him.

something  would  happen  in  the  future.  It  does  not  matter  if  you  are  correct  or  not.  Future  in  the  Past  follows  the  same  basic  rules  as  the  Simple  Future.  "Would"  is  used  to  volunteer  or  promise,  and  "was  going  to"  is  used  to  plan.  Moreover,  both  forms  can  be  used  to  make  predictions  about  the  future.  

 

•   I  told  you  he  was  going  to  come  to  the  party.  plan  •   I  knew  Julie  would  make  dinner.  voluntary  action  •   Jane  said  Sam  was  going  to  bring  his  sister  with  him,  but  he  came  alone.

UNIT  6:  Adjective  Clauses  with  Subject  Relative  Pronouns  

An  adjective  clause—also  called  an  adjectival  or  relative  clause—will  meet  three  requirements:  

 

First,  it  will  contain  a  subject  and  verb.  

Next,  it  will  begin  with  a  relative  pronoun  [who,  whom,  whose,  that,  or  which]  or  a  relative  adverb  [when,  where,  or  why].  

Finally,  it  will  function  as  an  adjective,  answering  the  questions  What  kind?  How  many?  or  Which  one?  

•   The  adjective  clause  will  follow  one  of  these  two  patterns:    relative  pronoun  or  adverb  +  subject  +  verb    relative  pronoun  as  subject  +  verb    

•   Here  are  some  examples:    Whose  big,  brown  eyes  pleaded  for  another  cookie    Whose  =  relative  pronoun;  eyes  =  subject;  pleaded  =  verb.    Why  Fred  cannot  stand  sitting  across  from  his  sister  Melanie    Why  =  relative  adverb;  Fred  =  subject;  can  stand  =  verb  [not,  an  adverb,  is  not  officially  part  of  the  verb].    That  bounced  across  the  kitchen  floor    That  =  relative  pronoun  functioning  as  subject;  bounced  =  verb.    Who  hiccupped  for  seven  hours  afterward    Who  =  relative  pronoun  functioning  as  subject;  hiccupped  =  verb.      UNIT  7:  Comparative  Forms  (more  than  /  less  than  /  equal  to  /  as…as  /  not  as  …  as)    Adjectives,  Adverbs,  Quantity  Expressions,  Irregular  Forms

In  Reported  speech  there  is  no  question  anymore,  the  sentence  becomes  a  statement.  That's  why  the  word  order  is:  subject  -­‐  verb  

Questions  without  question  words  (yes/no  questions):  Peter:  "Do  you  play  football?"  -­‐  Peter  asked  me  whether  (if)  I  played  football.

Pronoun       Use           Example  Who     used  for  humans  in  subject  position     Hans,  who  is  an  architect,  lives                                                                                                                                                                                                                              in  Berlin.  Whom     used  for  humans  in  object  position     Marike,  whom  Hans  knows                                                                                                                                                                                                                      well,  is  an  interior  decorator.  Which     used  for  things  and  animals  in     Marike  has  a  dog  which  follows                                                                        subject  or  object  position       her  everywhere.  That       used  for  humans,  animals  and  things,     Marike  is  decorating  a  house                                                                    in  subject  or  object  position       that  Hans  designed.    Defining  /  Restrictive  clauses    Defining  clauses  give  essential  information  about  the  noun:    The  package  that  arrived  this  morning  is  on  the  desk.    Explanation:  We  need  this  information  in  order  to  understand  the  sentence.  Without  the  

relative  clause,  we  don't  know  which  package  is  being  referred  to.  Note  that  “that”  is  often  used  in  defining  relative  clauses,  and  they  are  not  separated  by  commas.  

 Non-­‐defining  /  Nonrestrictive  clauses    Non-­‐defining  clauses  give  extra  information  about  the  noun,  but  they  are  not  essential:    The  desk  in  the  corner,  which  is  covered  in  books,  is  mine.    Explanation:  We  don't  need  this  information  in  order  to  understand  the  sentence.  “The  desk  

in  the  corner  is  mine”  is  a  good  sentence  on  its  own  —  we  still  know  which  desk  is  referred  to.  Note  that  non-­‐defining  clauses  are  usually  separated  by  commas,  and  “that”  is  not  usually  used  in  this  kind  of  context.
