III. Grammar
Indefinite pronouns
Use indefinite pronouns to talk about people, things, and places which we don’t name.
Someone | Something | Somewhere |
Everyone | Everything | Everywhere |
No one | Nothing | Nowhere |
i.e. There is something wrong with all of my inventions.
There are machines everywhere.
There’s nothing wrong with me.
In negative sentences and questions we use any- instead of some-
Anyone | Anything | Anywhere |
i.e. Is there anything wrong, Professor?
There’s someone at home → There isn’t anyone at home
Question Tags
Use question tags at the end of sentences to mean ‘Am I right?’ or ‘Do you agree?’.
i.e. These necklaces are beautiful, aren’t they?
The Egyptian room is upstairs, isn’t it?
We can’t take photos in here, can we?
IV. Working with words
Suffix –ful
We add –ful to words to make adjectives.
Wonder | Cheer | Help | Care | Play | Fear | Color | Thought |
Wonderful | Cheerful | Helpful | Careful | Playful | Fearful | Colorful | Thoughtful |
When a noun ends in a consonant + y, remove the –y and add –iful.
Beauty → Beautiful
V. Writing Skills
Making writing more interesting.
We can make a piece of writing more interesting by :
- Asking a question:
Have you ever wondered what life was like in ancient Rome?
- Using the senses (what could we hear/see/smell/taste/touch):
I could smell the fresh bread from the bakeries as I walked through the noisy streets.
- Using a variety of adjectives:
But I imagined excited Romans sitting in the seats and watching a fantastic show.
- Describing people’s thoughts and feelings:
I felt scared, because the rooms were small and dark.
- Using direct speech:
“Come back soon,” he said.
