PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE
A Use
B Positive forms
I/you/we/they get
he/she/it gets
In the present simple we use the verb without an ending.
I get the lunch ready at one o'clock, usually. We always do our shopping at Greenway.
Most children like ice-cream. You know the answer.
But in the third person singular (after he, she, it, your friend, etc), the verb ends in s or es. For spelling
rules see page 370.
It gets busy at weekends. My husband thinks so, too.
Sarah catches the early train. She faxes messages all over the world.
NEGATIVE QUESTION
I/you/we/they do not get OR don't get do I/we/you/they get?
he/she/it does not get OR doesn't get does he/she/it get?
We use a form of do in negatives and questions. We use do and don't except in the third person singular, where we use
does and doesn't.
We don't live far away. He doesn't want to go shopping.
Do you live here? ~ Yes, I do. What does he want? ~ Money.
We do not add s to the verb in negatives and questions.
NOT He-doesn't gets and NOT Does he gets?

before three and stopped some time after three. We were working all afternoon means that the action went on for the
whole period. David is stressing the length of time that the work went on.

UNIT 3: MODALS VERBS OBLIGATION
Must
Must is for simple present. It usually shows general obligations, like in these examples:
It is formal and normally used in writing. Notice how this example is formal:
*All employees must wear proper safety equipment.
Have to
Have to is not an actual modal verb, but it is used like a modal.
You must conjugate the verb "have" depending on the time and subject.
*I have to work tomorrow. *She has to work tomorrow.
"Must not" and "don't have to" are completely different, but their meanings are often confused.
"Must not" is a negative obligation and shows something that is prohibited, like in these examples:
You must not eat in the computer room. (Food in the computer room is prohibited.)
30
Exercise 1: Choose the correct option to fill in the

4. I __________ finish my homework last night. 9. Students __________ register by last week.
a) must a) must
b) must to b) must to
c) had to c) have to
d) have to d) had to
Must
Use 'must' plus the verb when you are 100% (or almost 100%) sure that something is the case.
Present = must + verb (do)
They must be in Spain by now. They told me they were going last week.
Jack must think I'm crazy because I think grammar is easy!
Past = must have + past participle (done)
Anna is smiling. She must have done well on the test.
Alice must have asked for some help on the test because she got an A.
Might / May
Use 'might' or 'may' to express an opinion that you think has a good possibility of being true.
32
Present = might / may + verb (do)
She might come this evening, but she also had some work to do.
David may invite Jessica to the match. I know he really likes her.
Past = might / may + have + past participle (done)
Jack might have gone to France for her vacation. I think he wanted to practice French this summer.
Could
Use 'could' to express a possibility which is one of many. This form is not as strong as 'might' or 'may'. It is just one
of a number of possibilities.
Present = could + verb (do)
Can't / Couldn't
Use 'can't' to express an opinion that you are 100% sure is NOT true. We use 'must be' or 'must have been' if we're
sure in a positive sense, but 'can't be' or 'can't have been / couldn't have been' if we are sure in a negative sense. Note
that the past form remains 'can't have done' in British English, but changes to 'couldn't have done' in American
English.
Present = Can't + verb (do)
You can't be serious! I'm not going to loan you $1 million dollars!
Peter can't like that show. He doesn't enjoy comedy.
Past = Can't / Couldn't + have + past participle (done)
They can't have worked until late because they were on time for the meeting.
She couldn't have believed that story. She knows he's a liar!
must + infinitive
might / might not + infinitive
could / could not + infinitive
may / may not + infinitive
can't + infinitive
33
For example:
I am waiting for Julie with another friend, David.
I ask: 'Where is Julie?'
David guesses:
She must be on the bus. (I'm fairly sure this is a good guess)
She might come soon. (maybe)
She could be lost. (maybe)
She may be in the wrong room. (maybe)
She can't be at home. (I'm fairly sure this isn't true)
Will / won't
Should / shouldn't
Should and shouldn't are used to make an assumption about what is probably true, if everything is as we expect:
This use of should isn't usually used for negative events. Instead, it's a better idea to use will:
Can is used for something that is generally possible, something we know sometimes happens:
34
could / couldn't have + past participle
may / may not have + past participle
can't have + past participle
For example:
You: Where was Julie last night?
David:
Could
We can use could + infinitive to talk about a general possibility in the past (compare with the use of 'can' above):
This is not used to talk about specific possibilites in the past (instead we usecould + have + past participle):
He could have been working late (not: 'could be'. As this is a specific possiblity, 'could be' is present tense)

UNIT 6: CONDITIONAL SENTENCES- FIRST CONDITIONAL
B Type 1: If we hurry, we'll catch the bus If + Subject + Present Subject, subject + will + Infinitive
The verb in the if-clause (e.g. hurry) is in the present simple, not the future.
NOT If we'll hurry, we'll catch the bus. But we can use will in the if-clause when we make a request.
If you'll just wait a moment, I'll find someone to help you. (- Please wait a moment...)
We can use the present continuous (e.g. are doing) or the present perfect (e.g. have done) in the if-clause.
If we're expecting visitors, the flat will need a good clean. If you've finished with the computer, I'll put it away.
The main clause often has will. But we can use other modal verbs (e.g. can). If you haven't got a television, you can't
watch it, can you? If Henry jogs
regularly, he might lose weight. If Matthew is going to a job interview, he should wear a tie.
The if-clause usually comes first, but it can come after the main clause. If I hear any news, I'll phone you./I'll phone
you if I hear any news.
1 Rachel might fail her driving test. But she can take it again.
3 The office may be closed. In that case Mark won't be able to get in.
4 Nick may arrive a bit early. If he does, he can help Tom to get things ready.
5 The party might go on all night. If it does, no one will want to do any work tomorrow.
6 Emma may miss the train. But she can get the next one.
Ex.2. Put the verb into the correct first conditional form:

UNIT 7: CONDITIONAL SENTENCES- SECOND CONDITIONAL
A Introduction
If + Subject + Past perfect Subject + would have/could have/might have + Past participle
Note the past simple (e.g. ate). We do not use would in the if-clause. NOT If I'd-ea^eake.
But we can use would in the if-clause when we make a request.
If you'd like to come this way, the doctor will see you now. (= Please come this way ...)
As well as the past simple we can use the past continuous (e.g. was doing) in the if-clause.
If Rachel was playing her stereo, it wouldn't be so quiet in here. In a type 2 if-clause we sometimes use were instead
of was, especially in the clause if I were you.
If Rachel were playing her stereo, it wouldn't be so quiet in here.
If I were you, I'd ask a lawyer for some advice.
The main clause often has would. We can also use could or might.
If we had a calculator, we could work this out a lot quicker.
If Rachel worked harder, she might do even better at her studies.
The if-clause usually comes first, but it can come after the main clause.
If I knew, I'd tell you./I'd tell you if I knew.
The present tense (have) refers to a possible future action, something which may or may not happen.
The past tense (had) refers to something unreal. If I had a million pounds means that I haven't really got a
million pounds, but I am imagining that I have. Compare these examples.
Type 1: If we take the car, we'll have to pay for parking.
Type 2: If we took the car, we'd have to pay for parking.
Here both sentences refer to a possible future action. But in the type 2 conditional, the action is less
probable. If we took the car may mean that we have decided not to take it.
