9.2) PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE: USES A) We use the Present Continuous when talking about actions that are happening at the moment (present or temporary action). For example, "Alex is writing a new book" can have one or two meanings, depending on the situation. 1. He is writing the book at this very moment. (present acitivity) 2. Alex is in the process of writing a new book. (Even though he is having a nap at this exact moment.) We may guess that: He probably spends a few hours a day working on it. He plans to finish the book or make a break soon. (temporary action). B) We also use the Present Continuous for actions that will be done in the future. (future arrangement) I'm flying to Rome next week.

Can (Request or Permission)
can: Requests and Orders We often use can in a question to ask somebody to do something. This is not a real question - we do not really want to know if the person is able to do something, we want them to do it! The use of can in this way is informal (mainly between friends and family):
Can you make a cup of coffee, please. Can you come here a minute. Can you be quiet!
Can you put the TV on ?
can: Permission We sometimes use can to ask or give permission for something: A. Can I smoke in this room? B. You can't smoke here, but you can smoke in the garden. (Note that we also use could, may, might for permission. The use of can for permission is informal.)

12) Adverbs An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much".
We form most of adverbs (especially adverbs of manner) by adding –ly to their corresponding adjectives. wonderful – wonderfully kind – kindly slow – slowly nice – nicely BUT But there are some rules:
true – truly
Adjectives which end in consonant + y change the –y to –i and add –ly. heavy – heavily easy – easily Adjectives which end in –ble or –le change the –e to –y. probable – probably gentle – gently BUT whole – wholly Adjectives which end in –ic add –ally. tragic- tragically basic – basically BUT
public – publicly
Adjectives which end in –ll ad –y. full – fully
