NOMINATIVE PRONOUNS

These are the nominative pronouns:

I
You
He
She
It
We
You
They
Them

We use the nominative pronouns to replace the subject of the sentence.

6
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Possessive pronouns replace the noun, we use them to establish a relationship of


possession and agree in gender and number with the thing possessed and never go
before the noun. Usually they built with article, but can go without.

Possessive pronouns are formed as follows:

MINE
YOURS
HIS
HERS
ITS
OURS
YOURS
THEIRS

FOR EXAMPLE:

1.- This cake is mine


2.- This credit card is mine
3.- These earphones are his

OBJECTIVES PRONOUNS

The object pronouns replace objects in prayers, then used as direct and indirect
objects. I will see your sister after the school (I'll see your sister after school) can be
changed to I will see her after the school (The see after school). Each personal
pronoun has a corresponding object pronoun:

Objective Pronoun are formed as follows:

ME
YOU
HIM
HER
IT
US
YOU
THEM

FOR EXAMPLE:

1.- Listen to me carefully

and number with the noun.

There are two types of possessive adjectives; which are placed before the noun and
which are placed after the noun.

Possessive Adjective are formed as follows:

MY
YOUR
HIS

HER
ITS
OUR
THEIR

17
THERE IS / THERE ARE

Expressions there is and there are used in English to indicate that an object or a
person are at a specified site. The peculiarity of these structures is that there is not
the real subject of the verb to be, although it precedes. The real subject of the verb
is in the immediately following position:

SINGULAR

THERE IS

PLURAL

THERE ARE

SINGULAR: There is a book on the table.

PLURAL: There are two books on the table.

Unlike the word "no" in Castilian, which is invariable, the form of the verb to be
changes depending on the nature of the real subject.

18
THERE IS / THERE ARE IN FORM AFIRMATIVE

1. - There is used when the subject is a singular count noun:

There is an apple in the basket.

Notice that the noun takes the idenfinido article (a / an). Usually not the definite
article is used with there:

There is the apple in the basket.

An uncountable noun:

There is some tea in the pot.

There is ice on the street.

Uncountable nouns can take quantifiers as some, any, much, a lot of etc.

2. - There are used when the subject is a plural noun:

There are two apples in the basket.

Importants:

Remember that English irregular nouns, though not bearing the mark "s" in plural
require the agreement with the verb to be:

There are a lot of people in the street.

There are twenty children in the class.

19
FOR EXAMPLE:

1.- There is a train station


2.- There is a park
3.- There is a castle
4.- There is a cat
5.- There is a pencil
6.- There are a museums
7.- There are a hotels
8.- There are bridges
9.- There are a supermarkets
10.- There are a three horses

20
THERE IS / THERE ARE IN FORM NEGATIVE

The NEGATIVE form of the existential expressions there is / there are built with the
negative particle not:

There is not any apple in the basket.

There are not twenty children in the class.

Notice that to say that there is no or no any quantizer is used.

FOR EXAMPLE:

1.- There isnt any a train station


2.- There isnt a park
3.- There isnt any a castle
4.- There isnt a cat
5.- There isnt a pencil
6.- There arent a museums
7.- There arent a hotels
8.- There arent bridges
9.- There arent a supermarkets
10.- There arent a three horses

21
THHERE IS / THERE ARE IN FORM INTERROGATIVE

"false" there subject:

3.- Is There a castle?
4.- Is There a cat?
5.- Is There a pencil?

9 nine 19 nineteen 29 twenty-nine 1,000 a/one thousand
10 ten 20 twenty 30 thirty 1,000,000 a/one million

Hundreds and tens are usually separated by 'and' (in American English 'and' is not
necessary).

110 - one hundred and ten


1,250 - one thousand, two hundred and fifty
2,001 - two thousand and one
Hundreds
Use 100 always with 'a' or 'one'.

57,458,302
The Number 1,000,000,000
In English this number is a billion. This is very tricky for nations where 'a billion' has
12 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000 in English, however, is a trillion.

But don't worry, these numbers are even a bit problematic for native speakers: for a
long time the British 'billion' had 12 zeros (a number with 9 zeros was called 'a
thousand million'). Now, however, also in British English 'a billion' has 9 zeros. But
from time to time this number still causes confusion
Singular or Plural?

two hundred Euros


several thousand light years

The plural is only used with dozen, hundred, thousand, million, billion, if they are not
modified by another number or expression

39
SIMPLE PRESENT

The simple present, present simple or present indefinite is one of the verb forms
associated with the present tense in modern English. It is commonly referred to as
a tense, although it also encodes certain information about aspect in addition to
present time.

It is called "simple" because its basic form consists of a single word (like write or
writes), in contrast with other present tense forms such as the present progressive
(is writing) and present perfect (has written). For nearly all English verbs the simple
present is identical to the base form (dictionary form) of the verb, except when the
subject is third-person singular, in which case the ending -(e)s is added. There are
a few verbs with irregular forms, the most notable being the copula be, which has
the simple present forms am, is and are.

The principal use of the simple present is to refer to an action or event that takes
place habitually, as in He writes for a living (in contrast to the present progressive,
which refers to something taking place at the present moment: He is writing a letter
now). However certain verbs expressing a state, such as be and know, are used in
the simple present even when referring to a temporary present state. There are
also certain other uses (including those mentioned in the following paragraph) in
which the simple present does not reflect a habitual aspect.

Like other English present tense forms, the simple present has certain uses in
which it does not refer to present time. It frequently refers to the future, as in "My
train leaves tomorrow" and "If we win on Saturday, ...". It can also sometimes refer
to past events as in newspaper headlines, for example.

For more information about the uses of constructions related to or contrasting with
the simple present, see Uses of English verb forms

40
SIMPLE PRESENT IN FORM AFIRMATIVE

The conjugation of a verb is as follows:

SINGULAR PLURAL
I LIVE WE LIVE
YOU LIVE YOU LIVE
HE LIVES THEY LIVE
SHE LIVES
IT LIVES

In the third person singular always changes the completion of the verb.

If the verb ends in S, X, Z, SH, CH, or O ES is added in the third person singular.

If the verb ends in Y precedence constant, and is changed to I and ES is added.

In English the subject of the action is always indicated either noun or pronoun

In English the sequence of a sentence usually is as follows:

SUBJECT / AGENT + ACTION + ELEMENT THAT COMPLETES THE ACTION

FOR EXAMPLE:

1.- John Works in an office in London


2.- Susan plays in the ground tennis
3.- Students go to the Enclish class
4.- Gilbert prepares house supper
5.- My mother sews my sock
6.- We to go the cinema
7.- The soldier fires the gun
8.- John writes You letters
9.- He director has important meeting
10.- Trees grows in the forest in Brazil

41
SIMPLE PRESENT IN FORM NEGATIVE

To form a negative sentence in time to appear with any verb other than auxiliary
verb is used DO.

In the third person singular is used auxiliary DOES

By using the DO / DOES auxiliary the main verb is in the infinitive To from without
particle without changing its completion.

In the oral form it is permitted to use contractions DO NOT / DOES NOT.


You can use DO / DOES to make brief answer, but to respond more fully is not
necessary to use auxiliary.

SIMPLE PAST

The simple past, past simple or past indefinite, sometimes called the preterite, is
the basic form of the past tense in Modern English. It is used principally to describe
events in the past, although it also has some other uses. Regular English verbs
form the simple past in -ed; however there are a few hundred irregular verbs with
different forms.

The term "simple" is used to distinguish the syntactical construction whose basic
form uses the plain past tense alone, from other past tense constructions which
use auxiliaries in combination with participles, such as the past perfect and past
progressive.

SINGULAR PLURAL
I WAS WE WERE
YOU WAS YOU WERE
HE WAS THEY WERE
SHE WAS
IT WAS

To form the negation last time the word NOT is inserted after the verb forms WAS /
WERE. Examples:

1. I was not sick


2. They Were not at work

To build the interrogative form in the past tense WAS or WERE precedes the
subject. examples:

1. Were theyat the cinema yesterday?

Verb forms can be collapsed with the words NOT as follows:


I wasnt It wasnt We werent
You wasnt You werent
He wasnt They werent
She wasnt

FUTURE SIMPLE

In grammar, a future tense is a verb form that generally marks the event described
by the verb as not having happened yet, but expected to happen in the future. An
example of a future tense form is the French aimera, meaning "will love", derived
from the verb aimer ("love"). English does not have a future tense formed by verb
inflection in this way, although it has a number of ways to express the future,
particularly the construction with the auxiliary verb will or shall or is/am/are going to
and grammarians differ in whether they describe such constructions as
representing a future tense in English.

The "future" expressed by the future tense usually means the future relative to the
moment of speaking, although in contexts where relative tense is used it may
mean the future relative to some other point in time under consideration. Future
tense can be denoted by the glossing abbreviation FUT.

CONTRACTIONS

I will = Ill
We will = well
You = youll
He will = hell
She will = shell
They will = theyll
Will not = wont

going to" refer to a specific time in the future.
