Past Perfect:
There are two past tenses used to describe things that happen before another

had happened at some point in time before something took place.

Past Perfect Continuous:
The past perfect continuous is used to express how long something had been
going on before something important happened in the past.

have lunch.

She works in London.
It won't be easy.
We are studying pronouns at the moment.

belongs to someone. That house is mine.

NOTE: In spoken English, 'Can I ...?' is often used instead of 'May I ...?'
MUCH / MANY/ A LOT / A FEW

Countable and Uncountable
Uncountable
Use the singular form of the verb with uncountable nouns. Use both 'some' and any' with
uncountable nouns when speaking about specific objects.
Examples

If you are speaking in general, do not use a modifier.

Examples

Countable
Use the plural form of the verb with countable nouns. Use both 'some' and 'any' with
countable nouns when speaking about specific objects.
Examples

Has he got any friends?
If you are speaking in general, use the plural form of the noun.
Examples

most
much, lots of, a lot of

Use of the Passive
The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an
action. Generally, more emphasis is given to the beginning of a sentence. By
using a passive sentence, we emphasize by showing what happens to something
rather than who or what does something.
Example:
Reports are expected by the end of the week.
In this example, attention is called to what is expected of students (reports).
Inversion
Invert the word order by placing a prepositional phrase or other expression (at
no time, suddenly into, little, seldom, never, etc.) at the beginning of the
sentence followed by inverted word order.
Examples:
At no time did I say you couldn't come.
Hardly had I arrived when he started complaining.
Little did I understand what was happening.
Seldom have I felt so alone.
Note that the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject which is followed by
the main verb.
Expressing Annoyance
Use the continuous form modified by 'always', 'forever', etc. to express
annoyance at another person's action. This form is considered an exception as it
used to express a routine rather than an action occurring at a particular moment
in time.
Examples:
Martha is always getting into trouble.
Peter is forever asking tricky questions.
George was always being reprimanded by his teachers.
Note that this form is generally used with the present or past continuous (he is
always doing, they were always doing).
Cleft Sentences: It
Sentences introduced by 'It is' or 'It was' are often used to emphasize a specific
subject or object. The introductory clause is then followed by a relative
pronoun.
Examples:
It was I who received the promotion.
It is the awful weather that drives him crazy.
Cleft Sentences: What
Sentences introduced by a clause beginning with 'What' are also used to
emphasize a specific subject or object. The clause introduced by 'What' is
employed as the subject of the sentence as is followed by the verb 'to be'.
Examples:
What we need is a good long shower.
What he thinks isn't necessarily true.
Exceptional Use of 'Do' or 'Did'
You have probably learned that the auxiliary verbs 'do' and 'did' are not used in
positive sentences - for example: He went to the store. NOT He did go to the
store. However, in order to emphasize something we feel strongly these
auxiliary verbs can be used as an exception to the rule.
Examples:
No that's not true. John did speak to Mary.
I do believe that you should think twice about this situation.
Note this form is often used to express something contrary to what another
person believes.

It's important to study the passive voice to place the focus on the object of an action, rather
than than the person doing that action. English students should learn how to use the passive
voice for explaining processes and for business situations. Here are some examples:
Somebody made my car in Detroit. -> My car was made in Detroit.
Somebody painted this beautiful picture. -> This picture was painted by George Smith.
A number of people in company ZYZ have designed this recorder. -> This recorder was
designed by the ZYZ Company.
Study the passive voice below and then practice your writing skills by changing active
sentences to passive sentences. Teachers can use this lesson plan on recognizing the
differences between active and passive sentences.
Passive Voice Grammar
The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action.
The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Particple
The house was built in 1989.
It is often used in business when the object of the action is more important than those who
perform the action.
For Example:
We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over 20
different models have been produced in the past two years.
If the agent is important (the person, company or thing that does the action) , use "by"
For Example: Tim Wilson wrote "The Flight to Brunnswick" in 1987. Changes to:"The Flight
to Brunnswick" was written in 1987 by Tim Wilson.
Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive voice.
Passive Voice StructureActive Voice Passive Voice
