We use adverbs to describe how someone or something does an action.
Peter plays the piano beautifully.
(Beautifully describes how Peter plays)

We form most regular adverbs by adding –ly to the adjective
slow —> slowly
bad —> badly
quick —> quickly
careful —> carefully

If an adjective ends with –y, the adverb ends with -ily.
happy —> happily
easy —> easily

If an adjective ends with –ble, the adverb ends in –bly.
comfortable —> comfortably

Some adverbs are irregular, they do not end with –ly
good —> well
He plays the guitar well. Never say good.

He eats slowly.
She drives carelessly.
She answers kindly.
She plays football badly.
I speak English well.

Fast and hard are both adjectives and adverbs.

24
Q

Present Simple

A

We use Present Simple tense to talk about the present and things that happen regularly in life.

Positive/affirmative

I/We/You/They—————– Verb
He/She/It——————- Verb + s

Negative
To create the negative form of present simple, you need to add don’t (do not) after the subject pronoun.

I/We/You/They —————do not(don’t)+Verb
He/She/It———————–does not(doesn’t)+verb

Whenever we use “does” or “doesn’t”, our verb will stay simple without “s”.

Question form
To create questions with the present simple, you must put “Do” or “Does” at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject pronoun and the rest of the sentence.

25
Q

Adverbs of Frequency

A

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

Remember, an adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except for to be).
She sometimes forgets her mother’s birthday.
They hardly ever drink coffee.
I was always late for school.
She is sometimes angry.

26
Q

everybody-everyone/nobody-no one, ….

After these words ‘everybody-everyone/nobody-no one/somebody/everywhere/nowhere/everything/something/nothing’ we use a singular verb.
For example: “Everybody likes chocolate.” Not “Everybody like chocolate.”

27
Q

Past Simple of Regular Verbs

A

The simple past is used to describe an action that happened and was completed in the past. The regular simple past is made by adding –ed to the base form of the verb.

I called my brother but he didn’t answer.
She typed my name wrong!

Most verbs Help→Helped Work→Worked
**Verbs that end in -e ** Hope→Hoped Like→Liked
Verbs that end in vowels+y Play→Played Enjoy→Enjoyed

One vowel+one consonant→ double consonant+ed Stop→Stopped Plan→Planned

Two consonants→don’t double Want→Wanted Help→Helped
Verbs that end in a stressed syllable Prefer→Preferred

28
Q

Past Simple Regular Verbs ?/-

A

To make a negative sentence with past simple regular verbs, we must change the tense of the verb to present and add did not/didn’t before the verb.
I/You/She/He/It/We/You/They did not/didn’t call, talk, move, look, type, play, jump, visit, live, like, dance, listen, brush, stay, finish

To make simple past questions, we must use Did + subject.
Did I/You/She/He/It/We/You/They call, talk, move, look, type, play, jump, visit, live, like, dance, listen, brush, stay, finish?

+ She talked to me about her father.
- She didn’t talk to me about her father.

+ The bird was crazy, it jumped out of the nest.
- The bird was crazy, it didn’t jump out of the nest.

Did you brush your teeth?
Did she dance at the party?

29
Q

You too

A

کاربرد you too در زبان انگلیسی

می توان گفت که you too نمونه بارز یک return statement در زبان انگلیسی است. این به این معنا است که زمانی که بخواهیم حرف فردی دیگر را به خود او برگردانیم، از آن استفاده می کنیم: وقتی که بخواهیم دقیقا عین امید و آرزوی او برای ما برای خودش هم صادق باشد.

مثلا زمانی که یکی به شما می گوید:
have a great day
و شما می خواهید آرزوی یک روز خوب را به خودش برگردانید و بگویید you have a great daytoo می توانید برای راحتی کار بگویید:

You too

به مثال زیر دقت کنید:

You are a terrible person.
You too (you are a terrible person, too).

کاربرد me too در زبان انگلیسی

در عوض کاربرد me too برای تصدیق آن است که شما مانند فرد گوینده احساس مشابهی نسبت به چیزی دارید.

مثلا تصور کنید که کسی به شما بگوید:
I’m so tired.
و شما هم مانند او احساس مشابهی داشته باشید: یعنی اینکه خسته باشید. می توانید در جواب به او به جای اینکه بگویید I am so tired, too فقط بگویید:

Me too

A

thin
thinner

fit
fitter

fat
fatter

So, does ‘p’ in cheap get doubled when we add ‘er’?
No, because there are two vowels before ‘p’, right?

32
Q

Comparative adjectives

are used to compare two things.

A

Tall→taller Old→older

Short adjectives ending in -e → -r
Nice→nicer Cute→cuter

one consonant → double consonant + -er

fat→fatter thin→thinner

Don’t double W
low→lower

Two syllable adjectives ending in -y → omit y, i+er
happy→happier
sleepy→sleepier

Most other longer adjectives → more + adj
hopeful→more hopeful
beautiful→more beautiful

Irregular adjectives
good→better bad→worse far→further

33
Q

past progressive

A

I was telling a story in the past.
Also when something small happens in a process in the past, we should use past progressive for the process, and past simple for that small thing.

We use past progressive when we want to talk about something that was happening around a past time.

I was walking down the street when I suddenly hit a lamppost.
So, in this sentence the longer action or the process was walking, right?
Exactly, and hitting a lamp post is the smaller action, so past progressive for walking and simple past for hitting a lamp post.

**Don’t use past continuous with state verbs: know, understand, love, like, hate. **

X I was loving her.

X We were knowing each other.

34
Q

Grammar-The

A

When we know what object or person we’re talking about, we use the.

We also use ‘the,’ when we are talking about something or somebody for the second time.
I have a cup. The cup is on the table.

We also use the when we are talking about unique things like the sun.

We should also use the before superlative adjectives
like
the tallest or the most handsome!

And we also use the in names with Republic, State, or Kingdom
like
the Czech Republic, the United States, the United Kingdom, etc.

35
Q
  • You always say I’ve broken my (body part), and not my (body part) is broken.

A
36
Q

Reflexive pronouns

A

Reflexive pronouns are words like myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves. They refer back to a person or thing.

**We often use reflexive pronouns when the subject and the object of a verb are the same. **

I cut myself when I was making dinner last night.
I hope you enjoy yourselves at the party tonight!
My phone isn't working properly. It turns itself off for no reason.
We need to believe in ourselves more.

We also use reflexive pronouns to emphasize that the subject did the action, not another person.
He built the whole house himself.
(=He built it alone; Nobody helped him.)

37
Q

Grammar-for & since

A

we use “since” when we give the beginning of the time (for example since Tuesday).
And We use “for” when we give the length of the time (for example for three days).

NEVER USE “ AGO” WITH SINCE
I’ve lived here since 3 years ago. ❌
I lived here 3 years ago. ✔️

38
Q

just in present perfect

A

We use “just” with the present perfect to express that an action was completed in the very recent past.

I have just finished my homework.
He has just arrived.
They have just eaten their dinner.
I have just started feeling better.

As we can see in these examples, the structure stays the same with “just” staying in between the auxiliary verb and past participle in all of the examples.
