INTRODUCTION
Recycling Elementary English is for students at elementary level who want to learn
general English. It also offers useful extra practice to those preparing for the Cambridge
Key English Test (KET). It can be used to supplement any coursebook at this level, and is
suitable for use in the classroom, for homework, or (in the case of the With Key edition)
for self-study.
The book aims to provide:

coverage of the four main areas of difficulty at this level situations, vocabulary,
grammar and writing
short, clear explanations and examples
a variety of exercise types, with illustrations to aid learning
a clear, attractive layout, so that the material is easy to use.
Recycling Elementary English is divided into four distinct sections:

Section 1 SITUATIONS (20 units)
This section covers a wide range of situations and functions needed at elementary level,
selected from the KET syllabus. It comes first in the book to show students how
important it is to be able to use English in real-life contexts.
Section 2 VOCABULARY (15 units)
This section presents and practises vocabulary from twelve KET topics.
Section 3 GRAMMAR (35 units)
This is the longest section of the book, covering all the major grammatical points at KET
level.
Section 4 WRITING (10 units)
This section offers clear guidance on a variety of different writing tasks, with study tips,
help with spelling and correcting mistakes, and useful expressions to learn and practise.
Recycling U nits are an important element of this book. They occur in Sections 2 and 3
after every four units, to help students remember and practise new material. Previous
items are also recycled, not just those from the previous group of units.
How should the book be used?

Each section is independent of the others and can be used at any stage. In Section 3 there
is a planned progression of grammar items from Units 36 to 70, so students studying on
their own should work through the units in order. Recycling units are also best used in
the correct sequence - for example, Unit 25 after Units 21-24.
What comes next?

This book is part of a series by the same author, ranging from elementary to advanced.
Recycling Intermediate English is for lower-intermediate to intermediate students,
and those preparing for the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET).
Recycling Your English is for upper-intermediate students, and those preparing for the
Cambridge First Certificate examination (FCE).
Recycling Advanced English is for advanced students, and those studying for the
Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or the revised Certificate of Proficiency
in English (CPE) examinations.

GRAMMAR VOCABULARY
A VERB is a doing word, which tells you what is happening, what happened in the past,
or what will happen. It can be used in different forms, depending on the time of the
action and the number of people who are doing it:
I wrote a letter. She speaks very quietly. People were surprised.
A SENTENCE is a group of words with a working verb. Many English sentences have a
subject, verb and object:
The dog ate the biscuit.
The SUBJECT of a sentence usually comes before the verb:

The bus arrived a little late. They live in Spain.
The OBJECT of a sentence usually comes after the verb:

I put the cheese in the fridge.
An AUXILIARY VERB helps another verb to do its work. Auxiliary verbs are be (used to
make passive and continuous forms), have (used with the present perfect), and do (used
to make questions and negatives):
He was born in Paris. Have you seen her? I dont know the answer.
A NOUN is a way of naming people, animals or things. It can be singular, plural or

uncountable:
a Scottish castle all the students some new information
SINGULAR means only one of something. If the subject is singular, the verb is also
singular:
A boy was climbing the tree.
PLURAL means more than one of something. If the subject is plural, the verb is also
plural:
The paintings were very expensive.
An ARTICLE is used before a noun:

Definite article: We enjoyed the sunshine.
Indefinite article: I saw a film last week.
A PRONOUN is used instead of a noun:

She watched television. They looked happy.
An ADJECTIVE describes a noun, or is used with verbs like be or seem:

a wonderful day She is unhappy. He seems helpful.
An ADVERB describes a verb, or an adjective, or another adverb:

Hes very intelligent. They walked extremely fast. She sings well.

G rammar vocabulary
LINKING WORDS are used to join up sentences or parts of sentences:

I like chocolate, but it makes me ill. He came in and went to bed.
A PREPOSITION is a small word used before a noun or pronoun to link it to the rest of
the sentence:
I went to London. We live near the school. The key is on the table.
A POSSESSIVE is a word which shows that something belongs to somebody:

Shes the teacher whose class were in.
REGULAR means following the rules of grammar, spelling etc.

IRREGULAR means the word does not follow the rules, so you need to learn it
separately.
Regular verb: ask ~ asked ~ asked
Irregular verb: write ~ wrote ~ written
Regular plurals: pen ~pens baby ~ babies
Irregular plural: man ~ men
(See the list of irregular verbs on page 144, Unit 36 for irregular plurals and Unit 71 on
spelling.)
A CLUE is anything which can help you to find the right answer. (Detectives use clues
to catch criminals!)
Exam ple:
Singular or plural verb?

The books________ on the desk yesterday. Answer: were
The clue is books. Because books is a plural subject, you need to use a plural verb form,
like are or were, not is or was.
A VOWEL is one of these letters: a e i o u
A CONSONANT is any of the letters in the alphabet except the vowels.

UNIT 52
Possessives
Possessive adjectives (my, his, her, its, our, your, their) tell you who
owns something: My car won't start. Can I borrow your pen?
We use possessive pronouns (mine, his, hers, ours, yours, theirs) instead
of a possessive adjective plus a noun:
My name's Charlotte. What's yours? (= your name)
Is that little boy their son? No, he's mine. (= my son)
Notice also: John is a friend of mine. It's an idea of his.
A Match the two halves of 1 I cant see A or at theirs.

6 This dogs bark is worse F or is it mine?
7 Tinas lending me her G because mines at the garage
walkman until Friday.
8 Alan and Frances call their H so I dont need yours, thanks
house
We show that something belongs to someone by using's after a singular noun:

the teacher's books John's house
We use s' after most plural nouns: our neighbours' house
But we use 's after irregular plurals: the children's room people's opinions
B Complete the sentences 1 Jack couldnt answer the history________________ question.

UNIT 53
Pronouns
We use pronouns instead of nouns or names.

Subject pronouns (I, he, she, it, we, you, they) usually come before the main verb.
I do yoga on Wednesdays. We know your brother.
Object pronouns (me, him, her, it, us, you, them) are used after verbs and
prepositions: I saw him yesterday. They gave us cheese sandwiches.
Please come with me.
Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) show which things or people we
are talking about: What's this? That's my sister's car over there.
This, that, these, those can also be used before a noun:
This apple tastes awful. Pass me those keys.
(See Unit 52 for possessive pronouns.)

thought happily.
UNIT 54
Past simple
We use the past simple to talk about completed actions at a fixed point in the past.
We often use dates or times, or words like yesterday, last, ago:
We walked to school yesterday. I saw him last week. We went there two
months ago.
Regular verbs have an -ed or a -d ending: She looked at me and I smiled at her.
These are some common irregular verbs: be ~ was / were, come ~ came,
do ~ did, drive ~ drove, fly ~ flew, give ~ gave, go ~ went, have ~ had, lose lost,
sit ~ sat see ~ saw, spend ~ spent, take ~ took, write ~ wrote
(See Unit 69 and page 144 for more irregular verbs.)

We make past simple questions with did: Did you enjoy the party?
Did he speak to you? Who did you see?
To make negatives, we use didn't: I didn't ask for help. They didn't say thank you.
But we DON'T use did in questions and negatives with the verb be and most modals:
He wasn't happy. She couldn't do it. Were you late?
(See Unit 38 for help with be, and Unit 49 for help with modals.)

The present perfect is formed with has / have + the past participle:
I / we / you / they have finished he / she / it has finished
Short forms I / we / you / they've finished he / she / it's finished
For regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the past simple, but you have
to learn the past participles of irregular verbs. (See Unit 69 and page 144.,)
We use the present perfect for actions with a result in the present:
She's lost her bag. (= It happened in the past, but the result is that she hasn't
got her bag now.)

two weeks in the Caribbean.
Negatives
I / we / you / they have not / haven't finished
he / she / it has not / hasn't finished
Questions
Have I / we / you / they finished? Has he / she / it finished?
We use the present perfect to talk about recent actions at no fixed time, often with
just, already, recently: We've just received your e-mail.
I haven't seen Andrea recently. I've already been there.
We also use it for actions or experiences which are not finished, often with yet, so
far, ever:
'Have you ever been to Cuba?' 'No, I haven't been there yet.'
For with the present perfect covers a period of time, but since is used for a fixed
point in the past:
I've worked here for three years. We haven't been to the theatre since March.

A dverbs (1)
Adverbs describe a verb: He walked quickly. She smiled happily.

or they can describe an adjective: The exam was surprisingly easy.
Most adverbs look like this: adjective + -ly:
slow ~ slowly careful ~ carefully
but note these spelling changes: angry ~ angrily terrible ~ terribly
and these exceptions: good ~ well fast ~ fast hard ~ hard
Other kinds of adverbs
Time: suddenly, now, yesterday, last / next week, soon, later, first, then, next,
recently, just, yet, already, at last We saw that film last week.
First he had a shower, and then he went out.
How much: very, too, rather, a bit, a little
The tea was too hot to drink. I'm a bit tired.

110
U n it 61
Some verbs (appear, feel, look, seem, smell, sound, taste) take an
adjective, not an adverb, to describe the subject:
That girl looks happy. (happy describes the girl)
We use an adverb if we want to describe the action:
She looked closely at the photographs. (closely describes the verb)
Read these sentences. 1 Sachiko always drives . (slow / slowly)

Which gaps need an 2 That pizza sm ells___________! (delicious / deliciously)

8 Youve explained the problem rather___________. (good / well)

Order of adverbs
Time adverbs and here / there usually go at the beginning or end of the sentence:
Last year we went skiing. He was very happy there.
Adverbs that tell you how often {often, always etc), and the adverbs just and
already, usually go before the verb: I always walk to work.
or between two verbs: She has never been there. I can already do it.
but after the verb be: They are usually late for school.
Yet goes at the end of the sentence: I haven't done it yet.
Left, right, straight on, home go just after the verb: Turn right now.
Very, too, rather, a bit, a little go just before the adjective:
It's very cold. I feel rather tired.

UNIT 62
Passives
The present simple passive is formed with am / is / are + the past participle:
I'm called Clare. The grass is cut every Monday.
For the past simple passive we use was / were + the past participle:
The cars were made in Italy.
We use the passive when an action is more important than the person who
does, it or when we do not know who did it:
My car was stolen last night. (The police don't know yet who did it.)
Sometimes we add by plus the person or thing doing the action:
The story was written by Graham Greene.
Notice: I was born in Grenoble, (not */ am born)

And links two ideas which make sense together: I went shopping and bought a suit.
But links two ideas which are different: He studied hard, but he failed the test.
Or links two or more things to choose from:
We could go for a swim, or we could have a picnic.
Because shows a reason why something happens:
She came here because you invited her.
If shows what could make something happen in the future:
He'll stay if you're polite to him.
So shows a result: Ivan had a headache, so he took an aspirin.

UNIT 64
Countables and uncountables
Most nouns in English are countable, which means we can count them:

Some nouns are uncountable, so we can't count them:
bread, butter, food, furniture, gold, information, luggage, money, news,
petrol, salt, scenery, sugar, rice, water
We can't make uncountable nouns plural, and we use a singular verb with them:
I'd like some information, (not *l'd like some informations.)
The rice is delicious, (not *The rice / rices are delicious.)
Mark each noun with C 1 butter 11 salt

Gerund and infinitive
A gerund is the -ing form of a verb acting as a noun. We use it after certain
verbs, like love, enjoy, hate, avoid, mind, and all prepositions:
He enjoys playing football. She's keen on dancing.
We can also use it as the subject of a sentence:
Shopping is fun! Learning a language is difficult.

8 The boys are bored w ith ___________computer games now.
An infinitive is the basic form (the first part) of the verb. We use it with to after many verbs
(want, would like, decide, hope, promise, offer): I wanted to watch the video.
We use it without to after most modal verbs (must, can, may, might, should, needn't),
let and make: You can ski well. They never let me play tennis with them.

UNIT 71
Spelling
Spelling means the way we write a word:

'Can you spell your last name forme, please?' 'Yes, it's W.E.S.T.'
This is the English alphabet:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Look in your dictionary if you don't know how to say the letters.
A, B, C, D etc are capital letters. We use them for the first word in a sentence,
days of the week, months, countries, languages, nationalities, names of places,
people, books, films, buildings and titles:
Tuesday, June, France, Portuguese, the Pacific, Turin, Julia Roberts, Mr Jones
A Put capital letters in this when I woke up, I didnt know where I was. Im in a hotel
story where they are bedroom, I thought, so Im still on my business trip, but which
necessary. city am I in? paris? tokyo? rome? new york? then I suddenly
remembered, o f course! its Wednesday, so it must be madrid!
B Write answers to 1 What is the capital city o f Germany?

questions 1-4. Make 2 What is the official language o f Brazil?

3 Which day o f the week has the most letters in its name?
correct.
4 What building does the President of the United States live in?
Now speak your 5 What is your full name? Can you spell it, please?
answers to questions 6 Where do you come from? Can you spell it, please?
5-8. Make sure you
7 What language(s) do you speak at home? How do you spell
pronounce the letters
it / them?
clearly.
8 What is your nationality? How do you spell that?
STUDY TIP
Learning new spellings
Look hard at the new word. Imagine your brain is a camera, and you are
taking a photo of the word. Now you should have a picture of the word in
your head.
Write down the word. Check - does it look like the picture in your head?
Do this again tomorrow, and the next day. Try to use the new word, in
speaking and writing.

E-mails
E-mails are electronic messages, usually from one computer to another.

You can use different styles.
If your e-mail is about work:
use a careful, fairly formal style
include the correct beginning and ending
write in complete sentences
If your e-mail is to a friend or someone you know well:
use a relaxed, informal style
you can write Hello or Hi instead of Dear
you don't need complete sentences
you can leave out small words like I or the
Most people write most of their e-mails to people they know well, so usually
the style is relaxed and informal. E-mails often look like part of a conversation.

UNIT 79
T ellin g a story
At the beginning we usually describe what was happening before the story really started, by
using the past continuous:
The sun was shining as I walked home. It was a lovely day, and I was thinking about Susie.
Then we say what happened next in the story, by using the past simple:
A man with a gun ran out of the bank. A police car arrived, and drove after him.
Sometimes we finish the story by saying something like this:
It was exciting / frightening / fun for all of us.
I really enjoyed / the day / the trip / the experience.
When you tell your friends a story, it is important to keep talking. Don't stop speaking if you
can't think of a word - try to think of another way of saying it.
When you write a story, plan it before you write it, in parts or paragraphs, like this:
describing the scene at the beginning of the story
the actions that happen in the story
the end of the story
(See Unit 58 on the past continuous, and Unit 54 on the past simple.)
A The past simple is the 1 Last night I __________ for eight hours, (sleep)
most common tense 2 My cousin ________ to visit me on my birthday, (come)
used in telling stories. 3
The film _______at 3 oclock, (begin)
Complete the sentences
