GENERAL REVISION





I/ SPELLING


Nouns, verbs and adjectives can have the
following
endings :

Noun+ s/es (plural)	Books, ideas, matches
Verb+ s/es (after he, she, it)	Works, enjoys, washes
Verb+ ing	Working, enjoying, washing
Verb+ ed	Worked, enjoyed, washed
Adjective+ er (comparative)	Cheaper, quicker, brighter
Adjective+ est (superlative)	Cheapest, quickest, brightest
Adjective+ ly (adverb)	Cheaply, quickly, brightly

When we use these endings, there are sometimes
changes
in spelling:

• Nouns
  
  and verbs +s/ es
  
  

The
ending is (es) when the word
ends in s, ss, sh, ch, x.


Example: bus/ buses miss/ misses wash/ washes
match/ matches box/ boxes

• words
  ending in (y) like baby, carry, easy:
  
  

if a word ends in a consonant + (by,
ry, sy, vy, …):

(Y) changes to (ie) before the ending (s): Baby/ babies story/ stories try/ tries country/ countries

(Y) changes to (i) before the ending (ed): Hurry/ hurried study/studied apply/ applied

(Y) changes to (i) before the endings (er and est) Easy/ easier, easiest lucky/ luckier, luckiest

(Y) changes to (i) before the ending (ly) Easy/ easily heavy/ heavily

• (Y)
  does not change
  before (ing): hurriying tryinf
  
  
• (Y)
  does not change if the word ends in a vowel + y (ay, ey, oy, uy)
  
  

An exception is : day/ daily, lay/
laid say/ said


Doubling
consonants: Sometimes, a word ends in
a vowel + a consonant like in:


Stop, plan, wet, thin, slip, prefer, regret


Before the endings (ing, ed, er, est), we
double the
consonant:


Stop_stopped,
stopping; thin_ thinner, thinnest.


BUT we do not double (y) or (w) at the
end
of words: stay_stayed; grow_
growing.





II/SYLLABLE DIVISION/
SOME RULES

• one
  syllable word is never divides: example: ill
  
  
• when
  the word has a prefix, divide the word
  between the root and the prefix:
  eg: mis/use
  
  
• when
  the word has a suffix, divide between the
  root and the suffix: fee/ly
  
  
• when
  two consonants come between two vowels, the word is divided after
  the
  first consonant: of/ten
  
  
• when
  a consonant comes between two vowels, the
  word is divided before the
  consonant: mu/sic
  
  
• when
  two vowels come together and are pronounced
  separately, the word is
  divided between the two vowels: radi/o
  
  
• when
  a vowel is sounded alone in a word, it
  forms a syllable: e/vent
  
  

III/ STRESS :
a stressed syllable is part of a
word that is pronounced longer and
louder than the other parts.

• Most
  of 2 syllabic words are stressed on the
  first syllable if it is not a
  prefix.
  
  

Example: open, winter precious


BUT : begin, forget,
believe, resume, occur, alarm,
result, again, perhaps,
event, advice

• Most
  of 3 syllabic words are stressed on the
  first syllable of the root:
  
  

Example: difficult, organise,
sensitive


BUT:
remember together
professor






All words ending
in ‘ion’ are stressed on the
syllable before the last:


Example: division, examination,
tradition, revolution, illusion





IV/ REPORTED SPEECH


1/ REPORTED STATEMENTS:


When the reporting verb is in the present,
there is
no change in tense:


“ I’m a
teacher.” She says
that she is a teacher.
Here, we’ve used the present simple in both sentences
because the
reporting verb (say) is in the present.


BUT: When the reporting verb is in the past,
there are
always corresponding tenses to the ones used in the direct speech
simply
because we don’t report what happens but what happened.


Example:


“I am a
teacher”. She said
that she was a teacher.

Present simple	Past simple
Present continuous	Past continuous
Present perfect simple	Past perfect simple
Present perfect continuous	Past perfect continuous
Past simple	Past perfect
Past continuous	Past perfect continuous
Past perfect	Past perfect (no possible change)
Past perfect continuous	Past perfect continuous (no possible change)

Other verb forms also change:

will	Would
can	Could
must	Had to
shall	Should
may	Might

Time and place references:

now	then
today	That day
here	There
this	That
tomorrow	The following day, the next day, the day after
Next week	The following week, the next week, the week after
yesterday	The previous day, the day before
Last week	The previous week, the week before
A week ago	A week before
