• The verb to be is an auxiliary verb.

• We use contracted forms in informal situations.

The contractions you aren’t, he isn’t, etc. are used more often than you’re not, he’s not, etc. but there is no change in meaning.

• In English we normally do not respond to questions with only a yes or a no. The personal subject pronoun and the auxiliary verb are repeated. These answer are called ‘short answers’.

A Are they British?

A Is she your French teacher?

B No, she isn’t.

• The short answer is not abbreviated in the affirmative.

A Are you Canadian?

B Yes, I am. (Not: Yes, I’m.)

A Has she got a big car?

B Yes, she has. / No, she hasn’t.

AE Do you have any children? ! Do not confuse the contracted 3rd person singular (’s) of the verb to be and of the verb have got.

• We use the possessive ’s with the following structure: name of possessor + ’s + thing possessed (relation or family) Your neighbour My father Jennifer

8

• When we use the possessive ’s, remember: – we only add an apostrophe to plural nouns that end in -s.

The kitchen table is very large.

Asking and telling the time • Here are some ways to ask the time in English: What’s the time?

• To answer these questions we always use the pronoun it followed by the verb to be: A What’s the time, please?

B It’s two o’clock.

• In telling time, when the minute hand is in the right half of the clock face, we say how many minutes have gone past the hour: minutes + past + the hour It’s twenty past eight.

• When the minute hand is in the left half of the clock face, we say how many minutes are lacking to reach the hour: minutes + to + the hour It’s ten to six.

• For fifteen minutes before or after the hour, we use a quarter to and a quarter past: It’s a quarter to five.

It’s a quarter past eleven.

ook at these words taken from Unit 1 to L describe family relationships: stepsister stepbrother

They are compound nouns that use the word step. We also use the words half- and -in-law to describe other types of relationships.

Half- precedes the noun as in half-sister; -in-law goes after the noun as in brother-in-law.

Half-sister means that you and your sister have only one parent in common, for example the same father but different mothers.

Your brother-in-law is your sister’s husband or your wife’s or husband’s brother.

Skills Reading 1

Alice writes for her school’s online newspaper. She is

interviewing one of her classmates about her favourite film.

Read her answers. Where is Robert Pattinson from?

1 What’s your favourite film?

My favourite film’s Twilight; it’s the film of the book Twilight by Stephanie Meyers.

2 ______________________________________ It’s an excellent film!

3 ______________________________________ Yes, I have! Twilight is a saga – I’ve got all four books: Twilight of course, New moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

4 ______________________________________ Yes, it is. It’s a Romeo and Juliet story with a difference, but it’s not the usual love story. Bella (Kristen Stewart) is 17 and is a normal teenager.

Her boyfriend, Edward (Robert Pattinson) is different. He’s young and he’s got a teenager’s life, but he’s also got supernatural powers. Oh yes, he’s a vegetarian vampire! But it’s not a vampire story. Bella’s best friend Jacob is also interesting. He’s half human and half wolf!

5 ______________________________________ The director’s name’s Catherine Hardwicke, she’s from Texas.

2

R ead the answers again and put Alice’s questions in the right place in the interview.

Is it a good film?

What’s your favourite film?

What’s the director’s name?

Have you got the book?

Is it a film just for girls?

Are the actors good?

Has it got a good soundtrack?

Is it a good story?

Writing 3

Write a paragraph about your favourite film. Use

Alice’s article as a model.

6 ______________________________________ Well, yes, I suppose a lot of Twilight fans are girls. Robert Pattinson is special of course.

There’s also a lot of action in the film so it’s not just a film for girls.

7 ______________________________________ Kristen Stewart is interesting and Robert Pattinson is great, but he’s a bit too serious at times. His American accent is very good. He’s not American. His parents are both British and he’s from London.

8 ______________________________________ It’s got a great soundtrack. I’ve got the CD. The photography is fantastic too. There are a lot of beautiful forest scenes and the special effects are very good.

___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________

___________________________________________

In English there are many expressions with have in which the verb does not mean ‘possess’, but has other meanings like ‘eat’, ‘drink’, ‘take’, ‘try’, etc. In American English they tend to use take instead of have. For example, take a break, take a shower, take a nap.

Collocations: make and do Some nouns take the verb to make and some take the verb to do. In general, we use make when we are creating or producing something, whereas we use do when we are carrying out an activity.

In some cases, there are fixed expressions, called ‘collocations’, that must be learned.

Read the article about Jasmine Stevens. What does she intend to do when she finishes this job?

Jasmine Stevens is 25, and she’s from Bristol in England. She’s got a very exciting job. What does she do?

Well, she’s the Global Tourism Ambassador for Hamilton Island, a tropical island on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Her job is to encourage tourists to visit the island. She lives in a beautiful villa with a view of the sea. It’s got three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a swimming pool. ‘The furniture is really nice. It’s Italian!’, says her boyfriend, Mario. He’s from Italy! Jasmine’s bedroom’s got a big bed and a TV and there’s a huge TV in the living room. But Jasmine doesn’t watch TV very much, she doesn’t have time.

Why? What does Jasmine do every day? ‘Well, it depends. Every day is different. I get up at around seven; I swim in the pool, have a shower and have a big breakfast. I start work at about half past eight. I explore the island, and write about it; I’ve got an incredible computer. I write a blog and a photo diary, and answer my letters.’ That’s not all she does. Jasmine also talks to the people that live and work in Hamilton. And she works with local marine biologists – there are over 30,000 different kinds of fish on the island. There are a lot of animals to see on Hamilton, and Jasmine visits the parks and takes photos for her photo diary. Her favourites are the koala bears and the kangaroos. She loves animals and wants to work in a safari park in Australia when this job finishes.

She doesn’t only talk to people on the island; she also travels to other countries to talk about her experiences. Jasmine laughs ‘I don’t work long hours – just two or three hours a day, so my job isn’t tiring! I’m happy. It’s the perfect job and they give me a lot of money to do it!’

Jasmine makes 70,000 pounds a year. ‘There are lots of things to do and see here. It’s a fantastic place.

Come and visit me on paradise island!’

My Ideal Holiday Focus on Grammar

Adverbs of frequency

100%

10% never (not)... ever

hardly ever seldom rarely

occasionally

sometimes s

• We use adverbs of frequency to indicate how often something happens or how often we do something.

We usually watch TV in the evening.

• I n general, adverbs of frequency go after the subject and before the verb.

They always do their homework.

• never and hardly ever are used as negatives and therefore, the verb must be in the affirmative form because we cannot have a ‘double negative’ in English.

He’s never angry. (Not: He’s not never angry.)

• ever is used in interrogative sentences and it has an affirmative sense.

Do you ever go on holiday abroad?

Expressions of frequency • We can also express frequency with the following expressions: every +

day / week / month / year

! Note: every is always followed by a singular noun. She goes to work by train every day.

• These expressions can go at the beginning of a sentence but are more commonly used at the end.

24

usually generally normally

always

Verbs of preference • Verbs that express a feeling or a preference (like, love, hate, prefer, etc.) are generally followed by a verb in the -ing form or by a noun.

• The adverbs of frequency go after the auxiliary verb to be and after modal verbs (e.g. can, must).

She is always late.

You can never believe him.

• sometimes, usually, occasionally, normally, generally can be used at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence.

She sometimes goes on holiday alone.

Sometimes, she goes on holiday alone.

She goes on holiday alone sometimes.

often o frequently

J

love, like, prefer, enjoy, be fond of, be keen on, be into

L

hate, dislike, can’t stand, detest

K

don’t mind

I love parties.

I prefer rap music to hip hop.

I enjoy going to the mountains.

I’m very fond of painting.

He’s keen on drawing.

She’s very into music.

They hate fish.

She can’t stand travelling by car.

• We use the verb don’t mind to show indifference and neutrality of preference or opinion.

I don’t mind waiting.

I don’t mind which DVD we watch tonight.

I love cycling, I like playing tennis and I don’t mind swimming, but I hate running.

Object pronouns • Personal pronouns can be either a subject or an object.

Subject pronouns I you he she it we you they

Object pronouns

3

• We use object pronouns: − after the verb (direct object).

I give her a present every year. − after a preposition (indirect object).

Bob is on a school trip with us. − in sentences with both direct and indirect objects.

I give a present to my sister – I give it to her.

me you him her it us you them

I n this case, the direct object pronoun (it) must come before the indirect object pronoun (her) which is preceded by the preposition to.

That’s Stuart. I meet him at the bus stop every day.

Scott Bradley is on holiday on the western coast of Wales. Read his testimonial for the campsite

brochure. What does he usually do at midnight?

Hi! I’m Scott Bradley, I’m 16 and I’m from Liverpool. Here I am at the Cardigan Bay campsite in Wales. We come here every year in our camper and we love it. This is the end of our first week. There are lots of activities, so it’s never boring here.

I wake up at 8 every morning, get dressed and go jogging with my dad. I love it!

My sister Sarah hates getting up early on holiday; she prefers lying in bed with a book or a magazine. When we get back I take her a cup of tea and dad makes breakfast.

After breakfast, I meet my friends. We usually go to the seaside at New Quay.

The beaches are beautiful and we sometimes see dolphins! We go there by bus. It often rains and the sea’s usually cold but we don’t mind. We always swim! It’s exciting. We play football or tennis on the beach.

The village is small but it’s interesting. It’s only three miles away so we rent bikes or go on foot. There’s a supermarket, a post office and a pub. OK, so it’s not Las Vegas, but we love going there. We usually buy chocolate and bottles of water and come back again. I always have lunch with my family. Sarah makes it. After lunch we go exploring. There are some fantastic coastal paths. We stay out for hours, so we take our back packs with clothes and sandwiches and drinks.

In the evening we make a campfire on the beach and have a barbecue. My friend Josh has got a guitar and he sometimes plays it for us and sings. We never go to bed early here. There’s a small disco on the campsite and we usually go there at midnight. It’s a great place to make new friends!

Cardigan Bay is cool, and the people are friendly. I love coming here.
