Grammar & Usage

The Phonetic Spelling Alphabet Introduction When talking on the phone, it is useful to spell out names and other important details. The phonetic spelling alphabet is used by the police, the military, and other essential services. You can use it too.

A. When to Use Phonetic Spelling Use phonetic spelling for names and important details: • • • • • •

if you’re giving important information over the phone if you’re giving important information in a busy or loud place if the listener has poor hearing skills if the listener’s first language is not English if your pronunciation skills are not strong if the speaker asks you to repeat the information

B. How to Spell Using the Phonetic Spelling Alphabet To spell out a name or word, follow these steps: 1. First, say the word you plan to spell in full (e.g., Sarah). 2. Then say the first letter (e.g., S). 3. Then say “as in” + the phonetic word that corresponds to the letter (e.g., as in Sierra). See the list on page 2. 4. Complete the spelling of the word by slowly saying each letter this way (e.g., S as in Sierra, A as in Alfa, R as in Romeo, A as in Alfa, H as in Hotel).

Reference ASKING FOR & GIVING DIRECTIONS

A. Asking for Directions There are a few different ways to politely ask for directions in English. Examples: • Excuse me. Where is the nearest bank? • Do you know where the bank is? • Could you please tell me where the bank is?

• Can you tell me where the nearest bank is? • Sorry to bother you, but I’m looking for the bank.

B. Giving Directions There are many ways to give someone directions in English. The verbs walk, go, and head are common and have the same meaning. Turn and make also have the same meaning. Examples: • Walk two blocks up Main Street. • Go one and a half blocks down Main Street. • Walk up Main Street to the corner. Turn left and go half a block. • Just go down Main Street. You can’t miss it! • Walk up 41st Avenue. You’ll see the gas station across from the movie theater. • Go up 41st Avenue for three blocks. It’s between the bakery and the laundromat. • Head down Main Street. The park is only a few minutes from here. • Go along Main Street until you see the mall. The parking lot is behind the mall. • The nearest bus stop is in front of the laundromat. Just head down 41st Avenue for about five minutes. • Go straight up Main Street until you get to the corner. It’s kitty-corner to the theater.

• Walk two blocks. Turn right on Main Street. It’s around the corner from the mall. • When you get to 41st Avenue, make a right and go one more block. You’ll see it. • Walk along Main Street.

Quick and Handy Grammar Review ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY

A. Introduction to Adverbs An adverb is a word that describes a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or a complete sentence. #

Example

Explanation

They always walk to school.

The adverb always describes the verb walk.

My motorcycle is really fast.

The adverb really describes the adjective fast.

My teacher speaks very quickly.

The adverb very describes the adverb quickly, and quickly describes the verb speaks.

I like the rain, actually.

The adverb actually describes the whole sentence.

B. Adverbs of Frequency Adverbs of frequency (also known as frequency adverbs or adverbs of time) answer the question how often. Frequency

Adverb

100%

always

95%

almost always

80%

usually, often, frequently

50%

sometimes, occasionally

20%

not very often, seldom

10%

rarely

almost never

never

Examples: • He goes shopping. How often does he go shopping? He sometimes goes shopping. • My sister eats breakfast. How often does she eat breakfast? She usually eats breakfast.

Adverbs of Frequency

Grammar Practice Worksheets

Quick and Handy Grammar Review cont. C. Patterns Adverbs of frequency have three sentence patterns in English.

Examples Pattern

Adv + V

BE + Adv

V + Adv + V

Notes

Adverbs of frequency are usually placed before the verb they describe.

With the verb to be (is, am, are, was, were, will be, etc.), adverbs of frequency come after the Be verb. In this position, the adverb usually describes an adjective.

When the verb has two or more parts, the most common spot for an adverb of frequency is after the first part of the main verb.

Sentence

Explanation

She never studies.

Never describes how often she studies.

My friend usually plays baseball with us.

Usually describes how often my friend plays baseball.

I always watch TV before bed.

Always describes how often I watch TV before bed.

My brother is always hungry.

Always describes how often he is hungry.

You are almost never late.

Almost never describes how often you are late.

Her children are often tired.

Often describes how often her children are tired.

I have never been to Europe.

Never describes how often I have been to Europe.

Older books are usually found at the back of the library.

Usually describes how often the books are found at the back of the library.

She has never been told to keep quiet.

Never describes how often she has been told to keep quiet.

Adverbs of Frequency

Grammar Practice Worksheets

Quick and Handy Grammar Review cont. D. Exceptions Exception #1

Exception #2

Because they’re so common, some frequency adverbs can be moved around in the sentence and assume other adverb positions. Sometimes, often, and usually fall into this category. These examples are all correct and have the same meaning:

The position of not very often is an exception to the normal rule. Add not to the auxiliary verb do (before the main verb) and place very often at the end of the sentence.

• Sometimes he is late. • He is sometimes late. • He is late sometimes.

• She doesn’t go to parties very often.

E. Notes Note #1

Note #2

Though usually used with the simple present tense, it is possible to discuss frequency using other tenses. For example, we can say:

Most adverbs of frequency are very common in English, but seldom, occasionally, and frequently are more formal and less commonly used. � We frequently visit our grandparents. (formal)

� � We often/usually visit our grandparents. (more common)

• I always ate breakfast when I was a child. (simple past)

� They seldom drink coffee. (formal)

� � They don’t drink coffee very often. (more common)

• I will never eat broccoli when I grow up. (simple future) • He is always reading. (present progressive) • She has never cried during a movie. (present perfect)
