A little/ a bit
Pretty/ quite
Really/ very
Extremely
Angry, big, boring, cheap, cold, expensive, frightening, funny, hot, interesting, old, pretty, small, tasty, tired, etc. A gradable adjective can be used with “grading adverbs” that vary the adjectives grade Adjectives

PRONOUNS REFERENCE Pronouns are words that stand in for a noun in a sentence. Whenever pronouns are used, it should be unmistakably clear which noun the pronoun is standing in for. A faulty pronoun reference will result in a muddled sentence and a confused reader. A pronoun should refer clearly to one, clear, unmistakable noun coming before the pronoun. This noun is called the pronoun’s antecedent. Problems with Pronoun Reference Unfortunately, it is very easy to create a sentence that uses a pronoun WITHOUT a clear, unmistakable noun antecedent.
•
As a result, the reader cannot know for sure whether Mabel sold the disk or the cabinet.
The
pronoun
reference
is
faulty
here
because
the
pronoun it has two antecedents. •
Such errors, called FAULTY or VAGUE PRONOUN REFERENCE, can confuse readers and obscure the intended meaning.
6 Rules for Proper Pronoun Reference 1. A pronoun must agree in number with the noun it refers to. If the noun is singular, then the pronoun must be singular. •
Incorrect: Everyone is studying hard for their exams.
•
Correct: Everyone is studying hard for his or her exams.
•
Correct: All of the students are studying hard for their exams.
2. A pronoun must agree in person with the noun it refers to. Be consistent with first person, second person and third person. •
Incorrect: If a student studies hard, you should succeed.
•
Correct: If a student studies hard, he or she should succeed.
3. There should be only one possible antecedent for a singular pronoun. Only the noun that the pronoun refers to should come before the pronoun. •
Incorrect: Nguyen and Mohammed walked to his English class.
•
Correct: Nguyen and Mohammed walked to Nguyen’s English class.
•
Correct: Nguyen walked to his English class and Mohammed accompanied him.
4. There must be an explicit antecedent. Don’t make the reader guess what the antecedent is. •
Incorrect: In the study, they state that writing skills are important.
•
Correct: In the study, the researchers state that writing skills are important.
5. A pronoun should not refer to a possessive noun. When a noun is possessive, it functions as an adjective and so can’t be replaced with a pronoun. •
Incorrect: In the professor’s comments, she was very encouraging.
•
Correct: The professor’s comments were very encouraging.
•
Correct: The professor was very encouraging in her comments.
6. “It” must be used consistently. If you use “it” to refer to one noun in a sentence, don’t use it again to refer to another noun in the same sentence or as an idiom. •
Incorrect: When it is busy, I hope to get a lot of sleep as it will help me work hard.
•
Correct: When it is busy, I hope to get a lot of sleep, which will help me work hard.
PRESENT PERFECT •
Have you ever needed something so bad?
Alguna vez •
And I've never felt this way before.
Have •
Where have you been all my life?
Dónde: wh questions before “have” •
I've stopped keeping track.
Llevar la cuenta •
I've paid my dues
Pay is the infinitive of paid Structure The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb.
•
Affirmative
I have – She has
I have jumped You have eaten He has cooked She has written It has flown We have shouted You have drunk They have opened • I haven`t jumped You haven`t eaten He hasn`t cooked She hasn`t written It hasn`t flown We haven`t shouted You haven`t drunk They haven`t opened
Negative
I haven`t – She hasn`t
•
Have I? – Has she?
Interrogative
Have I jumped? Have you eaten? Has he cooked? Has she written? Has it flown? Have we shouted? Have you drunk? Have they opened?
Uses of Present Perfect Actions which started in the past and are still continuing •
The present perfect is often used for an action that started at some time in the past and is still continuing now. Often, the words for (with a length of time) and since (with a starting time) are used along with the present perfect.
•
He has lived in Canada for five years. (He started living in Canada five years ago, and he's still living there now.)
•
She has worked at the University since 1994. (She started working at the University in 1994, and she's still working there now.
1. Actions which happened at some unknown time in the past •
Sometimes, it's important to say that something happened (or didn't happen), but it's not important (or not known) when it happened. In this case, we can use the present
perfect
too.
In
this
case,
we
often
use
the
words already, yet, ever or never along with the present perfect. These words usually go before the past participle in the sentence. •
I've already seen that film. I don't want to see it again. (It doesn't matter when I saw it.)
•
Have you ever been to Germany? (It doesn't matter when you went — I just want to know whether you have been there or not.)
2. Actions which happened in the past, but have an effect in the present •
This use is a little more difficult than the other two. In this case, the action happened at some time in the past, but the effect of the action is still important now. It's easiest to understand this use if we compare present perfect sentences with simple past sentences.
Table 4: Examples.
Tense
Sentence
Meaning
Present perfect
I've lost my keys.
I don't have the keys. They are still missing.
Simple past
I've lost my keys.
I didn't have them yesterday, but maybe today I found them
Present perfect
She's broken her arm.
The arm is still injured.
Simple past
She broke her arm.
The arm is probably OK now.
Timeline for Present Perfect
FOR and SINCE •
Look at these example sentences using for and since with the Present Perfect tense:
•
I have been here for twenty minutes.
•
I have been here since 9 o'clock.
•
John hasn't called for six months.
•
John hasn't called since February.
•
He has worked in New York for a long time.
•
He has worked in New York since he left school.
PRESENT PERFECT VS PAST SIMPLE Let´s remember 1. We use the past simple for past events or actions which have no connection to
the present. 2. We use the present perfect for actions which started in the past and are still happening now OR for finished actions which have a connection to the present. 3. We CAN'T use the present perfect with a finished time word: •
NOT: I've been to the museum yesterday.
British English Characteristics •
In British English, the use of Simple Past and Present Perfect is quite strict. As soon as a time expression in the past is given, you have to use Simple Past. If there are no signal words, you must decide if we just talk about an action in the past or if its consequence in the present is important.
Certain time in the past or just / already / yet? • Do you want to express that an action happened at a certain time in the past (even if it was just a few seconds ago) or that an action has just / already / not yet happened? Table 5: Certain time in the past or just / already / yet.
Simple Past certain time in the past Example:I phoned Mary minutes ago.
Present Perfect Simple just / already / not yet 2 Example:I have just phoned Mary.
Certain time in the past or just / already / yet? • Do you want to express when a certain action took place or whether / how often an action has happened till now? Table 6: Certain time in the past or just / already / yet.
Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
certain event in the past whether / how often till now Example:He went to Canada last Example:Have you ever been to summer. Canada? / I have been to Canada twice.
Emphasis on action or result? • Do you just want to express what happened in the past? Or do you want to emphasise the result (a past action's consequence in the present)? Table 7: Emphasis on action or result.
Simple Past
Present Perfect Simple
Emphasis on action Emphasis on result Example: I bought a new Example: I have bought a new bike. (just telling what I did in bike. (With this sentence I actually want the past.) to express that I have a new bike now.)
Signal Words Table 8: Signal Words.

Examples •
The sun rose at 6:00 am. (Simple Past: We know that the sun came up at a time in the past and it is not rising now. The sun may or may not be in the sky when this statement is made. The time is important to add.)
•
The sun has risen. (Present perfect: We know that the sun already rose, and it is still in the sky now.)
•
Meg ran two marathons last year. (Simple Past: We know Meg ran two marathons in the past, and the time period the action started in and finished in— last year—has ended.)
•
Meg has run two marathons this year. (Present perfect: We know Meg started running marathons this year. However, this year has not ended and she may run more marathons before the end of the year.)
PRESENT PERFECTC VS PRESENT AND PRESENT CONTINUOS Sometimes there is no big difference between them but 1.
The present perfect continuous can be used to emphasise the length of time that has passed .The present perfect simple is generally neutral:
They’ve been waiting for hours (This emphasises the length of time ) They’ve waited for hpurs ( This doesn’t emphasise the length of time)
2.
On the other hand, the present perfect simple is often used when we’re talking about how mucho r how many : She’s drunk three cups of coffe this morning She’s drunk at least a litre of coffe today (NOT: Shes’s been drinking three cups of coffe this morning )
3.
The present perfect continuos often focuses on the action itself , while the present simple focuses on the fact that action is completed.
I’ve been Reading the book you recommend ( I’m enjoying it , but I’m not finished) I’ve read the book you recommend (I’ve finished it, so we can talk about it )

CONCLUSION
Respectfully Victor Rodriguez
INFORMAL •
Informal language is how you communicate with people you know well and can relax around. It tends to resemble the way people converse out loud more than formal writing does, and it may feature more contractions (“they’re” instead of “they are”) as well as slang, abbreviations, and expressions of emotion—even exclamations!
FORMAL •
Formal writing includes business writing, formal letters, and academic writing. Although business writing and academic writing, for instance, have some differences, all formal writing shares certain features.
FORMAL WRITING ADVICES. 1. USE THE ACTIVE VOICE. The active voice is used when the subject of your sentence performs an action to a direct object. In other words, (noun performing an action) + (action/verb) + (object receiving the action). 2. USE LITERAL AND CONCRETE LANGUAGE. This requires excluding any metaphors and similes, alliteration, hyperboles, litotes, and other literary techniques. 3. BE CONCISE As a rule of thumb, never say in 10 words what you can say in 5. This rule is applicable to paragraph length as well. 4. BE CAREFUL WITH PLACEMENT OF DESCRIPTIVE WORDS AND PHRASES Make sure that you place adjectives and descriptive phrases as close to the noun that they modify as possible. 5. DO NOT USE ABBREVIATIONS OR CONTRACTIONS. This rule is important in any piece of professional writing. Contractions are only appropriate for conversational language and come off as lazy in formal writing. 6. AVOID REPETITION You do want to rehash your points and support them in different ways. However, you do not want to repeat the same point over and over again using different language. 7. DO NOT EXAGGERATE If you use an obvious exaggeration, your reader will be on guard and begin to mistrust everything you say—including the rest of your self-reported qualifications.

The other three tenses, the past continuous, the past perfect simple and the perfect continuous, can help us to say what ere ant more efficiently.
How to use these tenses Example The following are examples of narrative sentences Past simple – “We left on a rainy day” Past continuous – “It was pouring down even at midday. Past perfect – “It had rained off and on for ten days” Past perfect continuous – “We has been waiting to scape for what seemed ages”. Explicit example •
Past simple: “we left for the airport on an exceptionally sunny day”
•
Past continuous: “the sun was shining, and it was really hot by midday”
•
Past perfect: “it had been sunny on and off for the previous frothing”
•
Past perfect continuous:” we had been waiting at the airport for what seemed like an eternity”

MODALS OF ABILITY CAN, COULD, BE ABLE TO •
When we talk about ability, we mean two things. First, we mean general ability. This is something that once you have learned you can do any time you want, like being able to read or swim or speak a language, for example.
The other kind of ability is specific ability. This mean something that you can or can't do in one particular situation. For example, being able to lift something heavy, or find somewhere you are looking for. Present MODAL •
I can play the guitar.
•
She can speak German.
•
Mike can swim well.

You can see “can” is always followed by a base verb. It does not mater what the subject is. We say “I can”, “she can”, “they can”, etc. The same is true for “could” in the past.

ADJETIVES WITH ED AND ING There are many adjetives that we have in english that end in ED or ING. •
And adjetives that ends in-ING is used to describe:
The characteristic of a person a thing or a situation. •
An adjetive that ends in ED is used to describe:
A feeling (or how a person feels) or an emotion. It is used to describe a tempory thing. Since only people (and some animals) have feelimgs, ED adjetives cannot be used to describe an object or situation. How ING adjetives are formed. •
The ING adjetives is formed by adding ing to the base form of the verb. Interest - Interesting
•
The ING from is called the present participle. We are using it as an andjetive. I watched and interesting film.
How ED adjetives are formed •
The ED adjetives is formed by adding ed to the end of the verb. Interest - Interested

Speaking is a hill wich is used to produce speech wich is applied in oral communication. There are differences between speaking in spanish and speaking in english. On of the main differences is that when we speak in spanish (in Ecuador) we overuse articles and we provide adjetives (in general in spanish all over the world) to most things even thought adjetives not being neccesary.
TO PRACTICE SPEAKING IN ENGLISH WE NEED A TOPIC. A topic is neccesary because it will provide context and will not let the conversation take a turn to something more complicade an without sense. A topic can be a question or a topic per se. From it you can developep the conversation.

Determine the nature of a noun Articles can make of a noun something / someone part of something general, or make it more specific and unique.

AN
•
A is used in front of singular countable nouns (a person, animal or thing) which are not specific
-
An is used in front of singular countable nouns which are not specific.
•
We don’t use a before uncountable or plural nouns.
-
We don’t an before uncountable or plural nuns.
•
If a noun starts whit a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, etc.), “a” comes before the noun.
-
If the noun starts with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u), “an” comes before the noun.
EXAMPLES:
EXAMPLES:
A cat A bird A child A doctor
An Apple An egg An ant An orange
A house A bike A boy A table
The •
We use “the” in front of all nouns (It does not matter whether the nouns are singular, plural countable or uncountable) to describe someone or something specific or unique.
EXAMPLES: The earth The moon The world The President The air The CEO The weather The sun
An hour An aunt An old man An uncle
ARTICLES •
The problem is that the noun 'boy' (the subjects) cannot be used without an article. We could say, for example, 'The boy', 'A boy' or 'My neighbour's boy'. Generally, the articles a and the are used with nouns.
What are articles •
Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. Consider the following examples:
1. After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good. 2. By using the article the, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good. After a long day, a cup of tea tastes particularly good. 3. By using the article a, we’ve created a general statement, implying that any cup of tea would taste good after any long day.
•
English has two types of articles: definite and indefinite. Let’s discuss them now in more detail.
The Definite Article
The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing. The definite article can be used with singular, plural, or uncountable nouns. Below are some examples of the definite article the used in context: 1. Please give me the hammer. 2. Please give me the red hammer; the blue one is too small. 3. Please give me the nail. 4. Please give me the large nail; it’s the only one strong enough to hold this painting. 5. Please give me the hammer and the nail.
The Indefinite Article
•
The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant. It’s the word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel. The indefinite article indicates that a noun refers to a general idea rather than a particular thing. For example, you might ask your friend, “Should I bring a gift to the party?” Your friend will understand that you are not asking about a specific type of gift or a specific item. “I am going to bring an apple pie,” your friend tells you. Again, the indefinite article indicates that she is not talking about a specific apple pie. Your friend probably doesn’t even have any pie yet. The indefinite article only appears with singular nouns. Consider the following examples of indefinite articles used in context:
•
Please hand me a book; any book will do.
•
Please hand me an autobiography; any autobiography will do.
Special Uses of Articles 1. Media and communications:
Use a noun PLUS definite article to refer to systems of communication and the mass media, in contrast to the actual machine of communications. The telephone is the system of communication; a telephone is the actual physical machine. •
The newspapers are all in agreement on the latest financial disaster.
•
[exception: television usually has no article: Did you see him onv television?]
2. Means of transportation:
Use the definite article to refer to the whole transport system, rather than to an individual vehicle: •
The subway is quicker.
•
[if you use the construction “by PLUS means of transport,” there is no article: I go by subway].
3. Forms of entertainment:
To refer to a form of entertainment in general, use the definite article: • • •
I enjoy seeing the ballet. To refer to a particular event, use the indefinite article: I saw a good movie last night.
4. Place/object of activity nouns: Certain nouns refer to either a place/object or to an activity. When they refer to an activity, do not use the definite article:
Table 5: Examples of Place/object of activity nouns
Activity
Object
I go to bed at 11 o’clock.
Don’t jump on the bed.
She went to school for many years.
The school was too small.
Many families eat dinner together.
The dinner was delicious.
I shower before breakfast.
The breakfast was delicious.
They are at church.
The church is very old.
She is in class.
The class is in Room 102.
VACABULARY When someone is producing writing, or speachas that person makes use of vocabulary; this vocabulary can be divided into several parts depending on its difficulty level. It is considered a mistake when someone who is in an A1 level of English starts using B2 words, because that shows that a person has no confort or idea on what is he/she speaking.

There are a number of future forms in English, just as there are different forms for the past and present. Let's take a look at examples of the four different forms: Simple Future, Future Continuous, Future Perfect, and Future Perfect Continuous used to speak in English about the future.
WILL It’s one of the ways of talking about the future, but there are a few others. Let’s look at will to start with. We use will / won’t (= will not) + the infinitive for predictions about the future. Examples: •
Oliver’ll be back soon.
•
We won’t be ready.
•
Do you think it’ll rain this afternoon?
•
We also use will when we decide something at the moment of speaking.
•
(The doorbell rings) I’ll get it.
Will is used for decisions made at the moment of speaking. What about decisions made before the moment of speaking? Then we can use either the present continuous or going to (+ infinitive). •
Amy’s coming round.
•
We’re going to watch a film – want to join us?
•
What are you doing this evening?
PRESENT CONTINUOUS We use the present continuous more for arrangements with other people and be + going to + infinitive for intentions. Sometimes it’s important to choose the right structure, but often we could use either because many events are both arrangements and intentions. •
Amy’s coming round. (= arrangement between Amy and Daisy)
•
Amy’s going to come round. (= Amy’s intention)
•
I’m going to clean my room tonight. (= intention)
•
I’m cleaning my room tonight. (not an arrangement)
PRESENT SIMPLE •
When we want to talk about a schedule, we use the Present Simple tense.
•
“The plane leaves in half an hour – we’d better hurry.”
•
“Next week I fly to Italy, then on Tuesday, I’m in Spain.”
FUTURE CONTINUOUS •
To talk about something that will be in progress at a time in the future, use will be doing.
•
“For example, “This time next week, I’ll be sitting on a plane.”
•
We can also use this form to make polite requests.
•
“Will you be using the car tomorrow?”
FUTURE PERFECT
• If you want to say that something will be completed by a time in the future, use will have done. • “I’ll have finished the report by this afternoon.”
ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONAL
First Conditional The first conditional has the present simple after 'if', then the future simple in the other clause:
if + present simple, ... will + infinitive
It's used to talk about things which might happen in the future. Of course, we can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true. 1. If it rains, I won't go to the park. 2. If I study today, I'll go to the party tonight. 3. If I have enough money, I'll buy some new shoes. 4. She'll be late if the train is delayed. 5. She'll miss the bus if she doesn't leave soon. 6. If I see her, I'll tell her.
ANOTHER VERB TO USE
Other modal verbs can be used in place of WILL. •
If it’s sunny tomorrow, I might go to the beach. (going to the beach is only a possibility)
•
If you come early, you can meet my mother. (it is possible for you to meet my mother)
Zero conditional
True: Verdadero Truth: Verdadero
We can make a zero conditional sentence with two present simple verbs (one in the 'if clause' and one in the 'main clause'): If + present simple, .... present simple. •
This conditional is used when the result will always happen. So, if water reaches 100 degrees, it always boils. It's a fact. I'm talking in general, not about one particular situation. The result of the 'if clause' is always the main clause.
•
The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the meaning.
•
For example: → If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can't be a different result sometimes). → If I eat peanuts, I am sick. (This is true only for me, maybe, not for everyone, but it's still true that I'm sick every time I eat peanuts)
FIRST CONDITIONAL AND ZERO CONDITIONAL

LISTENING IN ENGLISH -As a skill to be developed, listening is not an easy one, because it is complex, due to the lack of its practice and use in our context (Ecuador). -One of the most told advices is to listen to music to improve listening, thought it is true, there is a problem if you listen ti music, but you do not know what the song is "saying". -That is why is necessary not only to listen to it, but to listen to it while reading its subtitles. -Listening is a very unique skill, as you have to practice to a lot through songs and other media, as there are many type of accents and pronunciations.
Every song has a lyirc, every movie has a script, and every interview can be rewritten. -Is important to know that in evaluations or exams the instructions for listening exercises are clear. -In evaluations or exams you do not have to guess too much what you have to do, as the exercises are guided, and to some extent even self-explanatory. In media sound is used to stimulate your senses, so you do not need context. -There are clear differences between british and american english, though both versions of the language are extremely close. -Always remember there is a connection in how someone speaks and what do they say, even the way they movĂŠ their mouths is an important factor to take into account for listening.
Listening exercises in evaluations or exams, are divided by levels from basic A1 up to advanced C2. If the exercise is too difficult you have to take notes, to take notes is a relatively easy practice. to take notes you have to write down only the important words, or words you may consider important, which are very similar to the reading part (key words. do not try to write everything, you need only notes, not the whole text (it would be impossible).
