18.1 Grammar in discourse

Things to do before the year 2016


It's October 30th. You can say that it is close to the
end of 2015, so I'll plan a lot of things to do this year.
First, I'll study very hard, especially to improve my
grammar because I always have trouble with it whenever
I speak to people. They don't understand what I'm talking
about. Also, I'll try hard to improve my vocabulary. That
would help me to speak more smoothly. Second, I'll cut
down on playing golf because when you play 18 holes, it
takes five hours. Furthermore, you have to drive to and
from the golf course. It takes too much time. Third, I'm
going to sell my apartment complex because I spend too
much time there. The worst thing about renting
apartments is that when you rent to bad people, they
break things. Then they say they won't pay rent because
you won't make the repairs. When this happens, you
have to take them to court and spend a lot of time.
Whatever happens, I'm going to study very hard this
year. I hope that by the end of the year, I can really speak
English well.

22.1 Grammar in discourse

I remember going to the British Museum one day


to read up the treatment for some slight ailment of
which I had a touch. I read all I came to read and
then I began to study diseases, generally, turning
the leaves idly.

I came to typhoid fever, read the symptoms and


discovered I must have had it for months without
knowing it. Cholera I had with severe
complications and diphtheria I must have been
born with. I was relieved to find that Bright’s
disease I had only in a modified form and, so far
as that was concerned, I might live for years. The
only disease I could conclude I had not got was
housemaid’s knee.

I sat and pondered. I thought what an interesting


case I must be from a medical point of view. I was
hospital in myself. All students need do would be
to walk round me and after that take their
diploma.

I tried to feel my heart. I could not feel my heart.


I think now that it must have been there all the
time, and must have been beating, but cannot
account for it.

I had walked into that reading-room a happy,


healthy man; I crawled out a decrepit wreck.

(After "Three Men in a Boat" )

I learned about this investigations, is that we can use going to
expressing future plans, make predictions, and expressing less certain
plans and predictions.

Also I learned that we can use will to make predictions and promises,
like may and might.

We can use may or might to talk about present or future possibility, and
use may or might when something is possible, but no certain. If you are
certain about the future, use will or be going to.

Also I learned that, I use can to a present ability and could to a past
ability; and use can and could to modals of request.

Use may for a formal conversation.

To express a necessity use have to, to give advice use should and to
expressing lack of necessity use do/does have to.

The form mustn’t is not very common in American English.

In questions have to, is more common than must.
