Tip #1 

Conclusion like to unofficial

• While writing I can use them to make pronounce to sound like ... when I fell that any place is empty before noun within simple grammar condition: the if important in meaning or only this possible else a or an but if sound needed. It may be right and need to verified; 
• While reading it is equal but I take the author opinion here. I can write it like: if I see the - author expresses sympathy or set high value for anithing. If I see a or an it is only for make right sound line and author like this grammar definition ...

Title

 

One word and one numeric in the title. I can't find the definition for this word into the dictionary of Campbridge in grammar means. Definition is work done in a law office while training to be a lawyer, looks like for the result of. Numeris say that it is not one and I can tak of the title only that it will be unclear ...

This is question: Do you know the answer? Look like the logic trap ... I can't do the answer that needs. I mean that will be effective for me. Answer that will take result. A can only thinking about this question. 

 

But I know that I read the book for learn English language and this is work of art to take knowledge include different artifical methods. I can be with opinion that is to make the Title more misterious.

What happened?

If I read this description of situation without knowledge who is Romeo and Juliet. I can't say nothing about. But I know that it was poison. Hm ... 

It is about the situation out of work of art like "Romeo and Juliet" and looks like description of the dead without obvious cause. I know that it is book for learn English language, again.

What do authors mean? I think that it may be tip that I can't understand something without full context and out of this.

Question

Question ask me about any puzzle that I can't see, but while I read the answer for this I understand that story about Romeo and Juliet is the puzzle. It complitely proof for me that I on the right way with my reasoning.

 

Why do I have so misterious picture with many tips about any full context needed when I read this header? I know somthing about articles from the old book "An English Grammar" 1895 year:

 

An or a came from the old numeral ān, meaning one. 

 

I seriously had problem with articles before I found this old book and didn't understand what is this and how it was coming into the grammar ...  Also the is that.

The article the comes from an old demonstrative adjective (sē, sēo, ðat, later thē, thēo, that) which was also an article in Old English. In Middle English the became an article, and that remained a demonstrative adjective.

 

Demonstrative adjective is the lesson later ... 

 

How to use ... 

1. Articles go before nouns. Somtimes no.
2. No articles for people or place names with exceptions.
3. No articles if talk about things in general.
4. Use a or an with singular and countable noun. Hmm ... but I know that they are is not important from the previous lesson.
5. Use a or an to talk about which job somebody has.
6. Use a before consonant and an before vowel.
7. Use the before singular and plural and countable and uncountable nouns.
8. Use the when it is about specific anithing without proper name.
1. The Bank of England before Brexit;
2. Bank of England after Brexit; 

Tip #1

Looks beautiful because say that I can use an before world that begin vovel sound and consonant letter: an hour for example. It say me that pronunciation here is more important than recording.

Tip #2

I have an idea. I have the idea.

First is about undefined idea. Second if this idea have any definition or content that like to be definition.

The name of the tip is: Note the difference. 

Conclusion like to official

• It is all about only: a, an and the ... 
• Use the if noun without a proper name but is possible to set this name and it is not single in a meaning. The is that in past.
• An when first sound is wovel or a when first sound is consonant. When noun is countable and singular.
• I have an idea. Unnamed and without content, singular and countable. Looks like when I have a or an it may no important. And it may be not bad for begin that follows from the short story about Romeo and Juliet. Like to make a free place to fill it or not.

Plural nouns

Header 

This title include only plural forms and nothing about the singular. Authors hide this for the readers. May they mean it is not important for real practice.

When I have only one apple it like to be a relic for myself. Important all that is possible to be into the plural form ... 

Header description

He ate 47 sandwiches in ten minutes.

Looks like understandable but is not accurate. I won't excpect many of this when I listen and can be how I like when I use this.

Amazing people

People who like to be unusual. Milai Ismail had 342 daughters and 525 sons that like to be more accurate than other: color, sandwiches, books, marathons. But I can't understand how to be father for them ... 

Question

• 115 marathons
• 90 languages
• 47 sandwiches
• 525 sons

No color here, but other is like to be ordinary. Hmm ... It is define how to use plular nouns ordinary. It like to be is not accurate but it needs any object ... 

How to write plural and singular nouns

1. Visible division on the two groups:
1. usually add -s in the end;
2. to make it sounds good:
1. exceptions -s, -ch, -sh, -x  add -es in the end;
2. exceptions -f(e) replace to the -ves;
3. to make it looks good on the paper:
1. exception consosnat + -y, replace -y to -ie and add -s in the end; 
2. exceptions vowel + -y add -s in the end;
4. exceptions -o add -s or sometimes -es in the end;
2.  Special prulars for any words, new words in fact:
1. child => children;
2. fish => fish;
3. foot => feet;
4. man => men;
5. mouse => mice;
6. person => people;
7. sheep => sheep;
8. tooth => teeth;
9. woman => women;
3. Some nouns have only plural form:
1. pyjamas, trousers, scissors, glasses, jeans [my historical order];
2. Authors says about method to use a pair of to make it singular;
3. I can't understand that in common of some especial nouns or can use them only in general because all of them are temporary. But this group of temporary things is especially in focus and jeans was coming recently of may suitable needs and isn't accurate to made them right for grammar; 
4. Look like two items more for the first list of terms:
1. police, staff; Looks singular but we use them like plural;
2. team, family; Can be in singular and plural without changes;
5. Some nouns include many people:
1. team, company, family ... 
2. but may be in plular when many teams play for World Cup of fotball ... 

Tip

 

Tip say if talk about things in general like to use plural noun and no article.

Conclusion

• It is not to be accurate but easy to use:
• Make it looks and sounds good when noun is ordinary [1];
• Some nous named special like modified and stand out [2];
• Some don't have obvious state in grammar means of emergence [3];
• Some nouns in plural become to take a new name [4,5];

 

Countable and uncountable nouns

I have countable and uncoutable noun. Only one condition must be to define noun as countable: I can count it.

I use articles a or an before countable nouns. Else other words before uncountable nouns. Countable nouns have singular and plural forms.

At sometimes uncountable nouns may be countable in context or in different means.

 

Mutations

Rock noun as the matherial is uncoutable, but a rock is piece of rock is countable noun.

Water is liquid, it's uncountable noun, but a glass of water is countable noun.

Any thing may be modified to make this countable.

 

Exceptions

These nouns is uncountable in English: advice, accommodation, fruit, furniture, homework, information, knowledge, luggage, money, music, news, pasta, traffic, transport.

 

Examples for practice

• I got advice from my friend.
• I don't have so many money.
• I'm reading news.
• I like pasta!
• Traffic on the road is so terrible.
• City transport can be helpful for the tourists.
• I like different music!
  

Conclusion

• I can use noun as countable only if I can count it now without additional actions. Else other is uncountable for me.
• Also, If I listen that anybody use noun as countable I know that he or she can cout this.

State verbs

Hmm ... When I'm reading this unit fast I understand that in English anything isn't activity in opinion. Yes, if I think I don't don anything usually.

Verbs of the senses allow using with can, that is good for the abilities. I can't understand how to hear as state without action. 

I must spend an energy for this action, it isn't state. But it's define only that we use them in simple form not the continuous, usually.

Means

But what did they mean when wrote that it's a state? Feel, own, know isn't state. It's a process while I do anything. One that may define general similarity is no obvious of their presentation for people.

When I'm thinking, nobody don't know about this. They can say that I do nothing or that it's state without actions, because they don't see anything.

 

Activity

If I append -ing end for the state verb. I can take new means that include activity and more for state verbs.

 

How to

• I must define tense for my sentence first: with -ing ends or other without it.
• I look for the verb type for say it accurate.
• I can imagine how it's going on for better result on my practice with new verbs or of the new circumstances.
  

Verb + -ing or verb + to-infinitive; like and would like

It looks how a two new additions for verbs. These additions is also verbs but one with -ing ends, second with to before it. And any alternative for this: like and would like.

The first that I can say it's -ing ends make it easy to be. No obligations that I described in the past. It may be more detailed if it's about the past tense.

The to make any verb unchangeble, set it to the basic state - infinitive. That define that verbs is may no good and possible to replace it. It's lock changes for this verb ...

I'll take different means while will use one of them for different tenses.

Like and would like

I can use like as common first verb. Also append could before. That made more different means for it. In the full version:

would like to-infinitive or verb-ing

-ing or to-infinitive

I can use any verb with both, but other is for  the one modificator only.

It's common verb mods

The TIP say that I can't use adverb after these structures. It looks that verb mods from this unit incompatible with phrasal verbs. More in 56 unit.

Verbs

If I leand new verb I learn that I can use after it.

That I have

I have different possible verb mods for my phrases, two common where only one position is possible for some verbs:

• verb + to-infinitive
• verb + verb-ing

Two where common verb is predetermined:

• like + to-infinitive
• like + verb-ing

  Would like is mean want or might want. That may define would mean of might:

• would like + to-infinitive // polite invitation
  
• would like + verb-ing
  

Means

• I like to learn English language.
• I like learning English language.
• Do you like finishing this exercise?
• Do you like to finish this exercise?
• I like helping people.
• I like to help people.
  

Right only first, but why the second and fourth isn't possible to be? Oh, I can't understand differences so easy. Last two is right both.

I know about have to and be going to, that may be helpful for understand this unit.

Also, about past continuous and present continuous.

• Verbs to only: decide, hope, intend, learn, need, offer, plan, promise, refuse, wait, want;
  
• Verbs -ing only: avoid, enjoy, finish, mind, suggest;
  

How to

• This additions fro the verbs don't include any completely terms for describe how to do it;
• Each time I must learn each verb separately with their possible additions;
• Addition verb-ing may be right for irregular events, of suitable circumstance, that we can do easy without manual or other. It's more for unofficial events;
  
• Addition to-infinitive may be right for regular events, where we need a manual or other, events with officila or real obligations. It's more for official events;
  

Verbs with two objects

Verb may have two object at sometimes. I'm looking for the description, title and when I have read the terms ... I can make some previous conclusions:

• Verbs with two object isn't equal to verbs within two objects. I may make more sentences or doing anything else.
  
• Description show example without one prepositions or other. It's easy way. 
• Terms describe many different ways how to make sentence with two object, where I must use prepositions and other for make them right.

Description

I have got my attention because I see here no one support words. No to or prepositions here.

Tell your friends the truth.

It's right only for verb tell, but I don't understand why ... Tip include information that I can't change the order for this verb and use to.

But if I put indirect object first it will be good to take out to for all other sentences with all verbs.

 

Objects

• Direct object is person or thing that directly receive the action or effect of the verb. Questions: what or whom.
• The indirect object is accompany for direct object. Questions: for/of what, for/of whom.

Differences

 The common different between two possible orders:

• subject + verb + direct object + to + indirect object
• subject + verb + indirect object + direct object

If I change order I mark indirect object as more important than direct. Also it exclude all support words. Example:

• I lend 80£ to my friend.
• I lend my friend 80£.

 

Make, get, buy

If I make/get/buy anything for anibody. I use for instead to.

Exceptions

It looks good because I must use for instead of to with verbs: get, buy and make. Minus one if I'll set indirect object first,

But it isn't difficult and I can use right order to create that I want to show.

And prefer for the verb tell, also is exception too. Don't say: I told the truth to him. Say: I told him the truth. It may be because while we talk the person is more important than our topic of conservation.

That is undenaible in this unit, it's two possible types of object: direct and indirect. They are different and question is helpful to check them.

Without prepositions accurate verb may be needed to make it obvious for many people without context and prepositions if inderect object is first.

Example: I got my friend 100 pounds => I received my friend 100 pounds.

How to

• I like to choose that is more important to me: derect or indirect object.
  
• subject + verb + direct object + to + indirect object
• subject + verb + indirect object + direct object
